Shear Gate Valves

● Cast Iron Construction

Unlike fabricated components, our cast iron parts offer superior durability and a lower risk of failure over time, ensuring long-term reliability.

● Machined Bronze Seat

The machined bronze seat provides a robust surface for effective shearing, ensuring optimal performance and durability.

● Dual Epoxy Coating

Our flap valves are coated with a two-part epoxy that offers exceptional protection against corrosion, extending the lifespan of the valve.

● Offset Body Design

To facilitate easier operation of the lift rod, we have offset the body flange’s bolt circle by 30 degrees from the centerline.

● Standard 2-Foot Lift Rod

The standard lift rod is 2 feet in length, made of steel with a cast iron handle and hook catch. Stainless steel rods in custom lengths are also available.

● Single Wedge Mechanism

Our innovative single wedge design ensures complete closure. Unlike double wedge gates, which can cause the disc to become stuck or misaligned, the single wedge design allows smooth and secure operation.

Operation

This valve is operated by manually lifting the pull rod connected to the disc. The valve can be held in different open positions using adjustable catch hooks on the pull rod.

Maintenance

The body and disc are coated at the factory to protect against corrosion. Regular visual inspections of the coating are recommended, with field cleaning and repainting done as needed. To adjust the seating, tighten or loosen the hinge bolt nut to modify the position of the hinge bolt and wedge. Use a .004 feeler gauge to adjust the gate disc and ensure the proper seat gap around the full seating circumference.

Installation

The valve should be mounted using a standard 125-lb flange. For proper operation and closure, the valve is installed with a 30-degree offset from the vertical centerline.
