About Gun metal gate valve

The offered Gun metal gate valve is an industrial-grade flow control device that is specially designed for high-pressure flow systems to adjust the fluid flowing within the system. It is provided with a screw-type plunger that moves vertically as per the direction of rotation to open or close the valve. Premium-quality alloyed material is used for the fabrication that imparts high strength and robustness. Customers can get this heavy-duty Gun metal gate valve from our company in bulk at a reasonable price range.

Superior Material and Engineering

Constructed from high-quality gun metal with a solid bronze seating, this valve offers exceptional corrosion resistance and durability in challenging environments. Its integrally cast bonnet, precision-machined surfaces, and polished brass finish ensure long-term reliability and aesthetic appeal.

Versatile Installation and Operation

Suitable for both vertical and horizontal installation, the gate valve is designed with a rising or non-rising stem configuration. Its non-obstructing, full bore design suits a wide range of liquid, oil, and steam applications within system temperatures up to 120C and pressures up to 16 Bar.

Reliable Performance and Easy Maintenance

Equipped with PTFE or asbestos gland packing, the gun metal gate valve guarantees leak-proof operation. The Class VI shut-off with a solid wedge disc ensures tight closure, and the hand-operated mechanism allows straightforward process control, making maintenance and operation hassle-free.

FAQ's of Gun metal gate valve:

Q: How do I install a gun metal gate valve in my piping system?

A: To install the gun metal gate valve, ensure the pipe threads match the BSP female screwed ends as per IS:554 standard. Position the valve vertically or horizontally depending on the application, and use appropriate sealing materials to prevent leaks. Tighten the connections without over-torquing, and verify alignment for optimum performance.

Q: What media and temperature ranges is this valve suitable for?

A: This gate valve is designed for water, oil, steam, and non-corrosive fluids, handling temperatures up to 120C. Its robust gun metal construction and packing options (asbestos or PTFE) ensure safe performance within these operational limits.

Q: When should I choose a rising stem versus a non-rising stem mechanism?

A: Choose a rising stem mechanism if you need a visible indicator of the valve's position. For areas with space constraints, opt for the non-rising stem design, which keeps the handwheel position stationary during valve operation.

Q: Where is this valve commonly used?

A: Due to its corrosion-resistant and leak-proof design, this valve is widely used in water supply systems, oil pipelines, steam lines, and other non-corrosive liquid applications in commercial, industrial, and municipal projects.

Q: What is the benefit of a full bore, non-obstructing flow design?

A: A full bore design ensures there is minimal restriction to flow, leading to reduced pressure drop and improved efficiency in fluid transfer, making it ideal for applications demanding unimpeded flow.

Q: How is leakage prevented in this gate valve?

A: The valve features bronze seats and reliable gland packing (asbestos or PTFE), offering a Class VI shut-off for superior leakage prevention, even under high-pressure conditions up to 16 Bar.

Q: What is the process for maintaining this valve?

A: Periodic inspection of the handwheel, gland packing, and threads is recommended. Tightening the packing can maintain leak-proof operation, and occasional cleaning of the machined surfaces will prolong the valve's service life.
