An adjustable stopper at the top of the stem sets
the close position of the gate.

Hand wheel is heavy cast iron, with a rounded grip
and epoxy coated hand wheel.

Double set screws prevent threaded-on hand
wheel from backing off or coming loose.

Stainless steel needle bearings reduce hand wheel
rim pull force.

Aluminum-Bronze thrust components for anti­galling operation.

Grease tting for maintaining smooth drive sleeve
operation.

Cast stainless steel yoke arms provide optimum
exural rigidity.

Stainless steel position indication arrow is
standard

Stem-to-gate clevis is deliberately loose to allow
play in gate to minimize binding.

Stainless steel hardware is standard.

Horizontal clevis bolts provide exibility of the gate
during travel.

FEATURES

Multiple layers of PTFE impregnated square braid
packing provides excellent gland sealing at full
valve pressure differential.

Elastomer quad seal improves packing
performance by promoting live loading of the
packing.

The single piece cast all stainless steel body is
rugged and compact. It offers better leak tightness
than fabricated or two-piece designs.

The gate is high-quality, ground-nished stainless
steel. A generous gate thickness is well supported
by the packing.

The unique retainer, o-ring, seat assembly
provides positive shut-off at minimum pressure
differential. Securing the seats out of the ow path
improves the longevity of the resilient material;
however, this conguration also allows easy
replacement of the seat and o-ring.
