TOOL KIT for Ductile Iron Pipes, Valves & Fittings  

 
Resilient seat gate valves have many advantages versus old fashioned metal seated gate valves. Lack of valve pocket for gate seat maintains smooth and unobstructed waterway and eliminates depositing of impurities which may cause ineffective shut-off and leaking from metal to metal contact with time. Resilient seat contact is easily and perfectly maintained and this allows quick and perfect changes of gate without dismantling the valve from the pipeline when the rubber lining is worn out. In turn, when the metal-seated gate valve leaks, it should be returned to its factory for renewing and precise machining of metal seats, or it should be thrown away.

Advantages of Resilient Seat Gate Valves

Different face to face dimensions available for double flanged valves in accordance with different standards such as BS 5163 DIN 3352 4A and 4B, etc.

Different types of valve body design maintain many applications for steel, cast iron, ductile iron, PVC piping and even connecting/converting different types of pipes.

The gate is made completely with EPDM rubber by vulcanizing.

No seat for the body and gate inserted.

The waterway in the area shall be smooth, unobstructed and free of cavities.

Very low pressure losses, no debris trap due to smooth water passage.

All internal parts, especially the gate can be replaced without dismantling the valve body from the pipeline.

Stem O-ring seals can easily be replaced while the valve is open under service.

Valve can be installed in any position.

Both our resilient and metal seat gate valves have been cycle tested thousands of times in excess of the required standard and has still maintained a bubble tight seal and easy closing/opening action. Applied standard tests are hydraulic tests for body and seat. Operating torque test is on request.
