Quality Construction and MaterialsThis gate valve is engineered from high-grade gun metal or bronze, which guarantees durability and longevity. The inclusion of a brass stem, solid wedge, and bolted bonnet ensures the valve withstands low-pressure operations effectively, while providing resistance to wear and corrosion, making it suitable for demanding environments.
Versatile ApplicationsDesigned to handle water, oil, and various non-corrosive fluids, the IS002 gate valve serves a broad range of industries. Its capability to function at temperatures up to 80C and under hydraulic pressures of 1.5 MPa makes it an excellent choice for diverse applications within India's plumbing, water supply, and oil distribution networks.
FAQ's of IS002 Gun Metal / Bronze Gate Valve Class-1 (Screwed):
Q: How is the IS002 Gun Metal / Bronze Gate Valve Class-1 typically installed?
A: The valve features screwed female BSP threaded ends, enabling straightforward installation into compatible pipelines. Ensure the valve is fitted in the correct flow orientation, and use appropriate sealing materials for optimal leak prevention during assembly.
Q: What types of media can this gate valve effectively control?
A: It is suitable for regulating the flow of water, oil, gas, and other non-corrosive fluids, offering reliable performance in varying fluid management systems.
Q: When should this gate valve be operated or maintained?
A: Routine operation and periodic maintenance are recommended to preserve stem and seal integrity. Inspect the valve during scheduled system checks, particularly before seasonal shifts or after extended inactivity, to ensure proper functioning.
Q: Where is this valve most commonly used?
A: This valve finds widespread use in plumbing, industrial pipelines, oil distribution, and water supply systems, especially where low-pressure control and corrosion resistance are essential.
Q: What is the process for opening or closing the valve?
A: The valve is hand-operated using its cast iron or steel handwheel. Turning the handwheel counterclockwise raises the rising stem and opens the valve, while turning clockwise lowers the stem and closes the valve, allowing precise flow control.
Q: What are the main benefits of using a gun metal or bronze gate valve with a renewable seating arrangement?
A: The renewable seating, which can include bronze or rubber materials, allows for easier replacement and maintenance, prolonging the valve's service life. Gun metal or bronze construction also offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance in various media.
