2-1/2 inch stainless steel flanged gate valve features an OS&Y (Outside Screw and Yoke) design, allowing easy identification of its position and enhancing its reliability. It is indispensable in maintaining control and reliability in high pressure water systems.
Tips: How does a flanged gate valve differ from other types of valves?
A flanged gate valve differs from other types of valves primarily in its design and operation. It features a flat, rectangular gate that is lifted or lowered vertically to control the flow of fluid through a pipe. The gate is attached to the valve stem, and when the valve is fully open, the gate is completely removed from the flow path, minimizing pressure drop.The distinctive characteristic of a flanged gate valve is the presence of flanges on both ends, allowing easy and secure connection to pipes or other components in a pipeline system. The flanges provide a robust and leak-tight connection when bolted together. This design makes flanged gate valves well-suited for applications that require a straight-line flow and where minimal pressure drop is crucial. The straightforward on-off operation and reliable sealing make them suitable for a variety of industries, including oil and gas, water treatment, and manufacturing.
