Wedge Gate Valves model
Wedge gate valves are commonly supplied with solid wedge up to 2” size and with flexible wedge for larger sizes.
The latter design consists of two independent and flexible wedge halves, that allow a relative movement to accommodate changes in the body seat angles.
The result is a valve with a high pressure sealing performance, with optimum results at low differential pressures, meeting industrial valve requirements, moved toward larger sizes and higher pressures and temperatures.
Our utmost care when machining and lapping wedge and seats, and the flexible wedge design for sizes beyond 2”, assure valve tightness on both sides regardless of the operating pressure.
Carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel and other valve materials may be selected depending on the fluid and pressure and temperature conditions following ASME B16.34 standard.
The standard wedge gate valves shall be outside screw and yoke, non-rotating stem, T-head stem-wedge connection and welded / threaded / integral seats. The valve can be manually operated or by means of an electric, pneumatic or hydraulic actuator.
