AWWA Non-rising Stem Gate Valve

Resilient seated gate valve has many advantages against old fashioned metal seated gate valve. Lack of valve pocket for gate seat maintains smooth and unobstructed waterway; eliminates depositing of impurities which may cause ineffective shut-off and leaking from metal to metal contact in time. Resilient seat contact is easily and perfectly maintained and this allows quick and perfect change of wedge without dismantling the valve from 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.
