Body Material: ASTM A105N
Size: 1 Inch, DN25
Pressure: Class 600 LB, PN100
End Connection: RF Flanged
Operation: Handwheel
Forged Steel Gate Valves are meticulously designed and manufactured to meet international standards, including API 602, ASME B16.34, and DIN 3202, or their equivalents. Featuring a compact yet exceptionally sturdy design, these valves are ideal for high-pressure, high-temperature applications. The optional solid CoCr alloy wedge ensures low friction and extends the valve's service life.
The packing rings are precompressed to 4000 psi to provide a reliable, high-integrity seal. For welded bonnet valves, the bonnet is threaded and torqued to an engineered value, with the body-bonnet joint strength-welded to offer double protection against leakage. Additionally, the fully guided wedge reduces wear on the seating surfaces, enhancing performance. Optional designs include double packing, leak-off connections, live-loading, and packing blowout for easy packing removal, providing flexibility and ease of maintenance.

Product Features
What is a Non-Rising Stem Gate Valve?
A valve where the stem does not move vertically but rotates internally to raise or lower the gate. This design is ideal for installations with limited vertical space.
How Does a Non-Rising Stem Gate Valve Work?
The handwheel turns the stem, which in turn moves the gate up or down inside the valve body without changing the external height of the stem.
How Does a Rising Stem Gate Valve Work?
The handwheel lifts the stem and gate together, providing a visual indication of whether the valve is open or closed.
Which Valve Should I Choose?
Use a rising stem valve for above-ground applications where visibility and ease of maintenance are important.
Use a non-rising stem valve for underground or space-limited installations.
Conclusion
The choice between rising stem and non-rising stem gate valves depends on your specific application needs. For clear valve status indication and easy maintenance, go with a rising stem valve. For compact installations, a non-rising stem valve is the better option.
