The knife gate valve is truly a high performance knife gate valve design. This valve provides zero leakage
Bi-directional shut-off, has mechanically retained seal, has a compact non-rising stem design, and can be
Repacked in service under full pressure. The chest and seating areas of the valve are self-cleaning. The
Reduced chest area, minimal gate arc, and contoured flushing corners in the body prevent jamming by
Eliminating material build-up in the chest, body and seating area. The gate seals against a combination
Metal and resilient seat and is guided for the full stroke length of the valve. The top “transverse” seal is repackable while in service under full pressure. The valve is tested and rated for zero leakage (liquid or
Gas) downstream and to atmosphere.
