Description

A knife gate valve available in two configurations: a bi-directional seal variant with ductile iron body and stainless steel wedge using a U-shaped flexible seal without grooves, and a unidirectional seal variant with an additional bonnet design suitable for high-pressure applications. Both types are designed for handling slurries, fibrous media, sewage, and other demanding industrial fluids. The bi-directional variant uses a wafer-type body while the unidirectional variant is available in wafer, lug, and flanged end connections.

Selection notes

This knife gate valve is a bi-directional seal and unidirectional seal pattern, supplied for wafer, lug and flanged installation.

Sizes run DN50 to DN3000, in 6 bar, 10 bar, 16 bar.

Stated service media include coal, slag, sewage, paper pulp, pharmaceutical media and petroleum.

It is catalogued for Water & Wastewater and Industrial Process.

Built to MSS SP-81, API-598, BS PN10/PN16, DIN PN10 and DIN PN16.
