Wedge Gate Valve
The Metal-Seated Wedge Gate Valve is a flanged ductile-iron isolating valve for water reticulation, distribution and general pipeline duty. Its solid SG-iron wedge closes onto brass ASTM seat trim to give reliable metal-to-metal isolation, while the non-rising spindle keeps the valve stem within its envelope for use in chambers and tight installations.
