Manual wedge gate valve

Description

Manual Wedge Gate Valve is a type of gate valve that is operated manually and features a wedge-shaped gate to control the flow of fluids. Here is an overview of this specific valve:

Manual Wedge Gate Valve
Design: The gate valve is designed with a wedge-shaped gate that moves perpendicular to the flow direction to open or close the valve. The manual operation implies that the valve is controlled by hand without the need for external power sources.

Operation: To operate a manual wedge gate valve, the user turns a handwheel or operates a lever to raise or lower the gate, allowing for precise control of the fluid flow through the valve.

Applications: Manual wedge gate valves are commonly used in various industries where a simple and reliable flow control mechanism is required, such as in oil and gas, water treatment, chemical processing, and other industrial applications.

Features:

Manual operation for control by hand.
Wedge-shaped gate for tight shut-off and minimal flow restriction.
Typically designed for on/off service rather than throttling.
Available in different materials and configurations to suit specific application requirements.
Benefits:

Simple and reliable operation.
Tight sealing for effective shut-off.
Suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure applications.
Low maintenance requirements.
Variants: Manual wedge gate valves can vary in sizes, pressure ratings, materials of construction (such as cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel), and end connections to accommodate a wide range of industrial needs.

For detailed specifications, including size ranges, pressure ratings, materials, and customization options, it is recommended to consult with valve manufacturers or suppliers specializing in manual wedge gate valves. They can provide specific information tailored to your project requirements and assist in selecting the most appropriate valve for your application.
