Cast Iron GGG50 DIN 3352 F4 F5 & BS 5163 Resilient Seated Gate Valves
A resilient seated gate valve is a type of valve commonly used in water distribution and wastewater systems to control the flow of water or other fluids. The primary feature of this valve is its resilient seat, which is typically made of elastomeric materials like rubber or synthetic compounds, designed to provide a tight, leak-free seal when the valve is closed. The valve consists of a gate (or wedge) that moves up and down within the valve body. When the gate is raised, it allows fluid to pass through the valve, and when it is lowered, the gate seals against the resilient seat to block the flow. The resilient seat ensures a superior sealing performance, especially in situations where there may be irregularities in the valve body or the gate. Resilient seated gate valves are known for their durability, ease of operation, and low maintenance. They are typically operated manually using a handwheel or automatically in more complex systems.
