Overview

Austworld Logi AW GV03 gate valve features BSP 1” 25mm female threads and is for general purpose use only.

Gate valves operate by lifting a gate or wedge internally in the path of the fluid. When fully open, the gate is lifted completely out of the flow path, resulting in minimal flow restriction and low pressure loss. Full bore construction further helps maximise flow capacity.

There are two main types of gate valves available- general purpose gate valves and WaterMark approved gate valves. General purpose gate vavles are of much lower costs and suitable for applications that do not come in contact with portable water, such as irrigations. WaterMark approved gate valves feature thicker gauge valve body for higher pressure ratings and the DR brass material is suitable for portable water applications where the water must meet drinking standards, but at higher costs.

Compared to ball valves, gate valves require multiple 360 degree turns instead of 1/4 turn operations in ball valves. This means the ball valves are preferred in applications where frequent opening/shutting is needed, whereas gate valves are suitable in more industrial applications where the valves remain mostly in open or shut positions. Gate valves are designed to be fully open or closed during operations and not used for flow throttling or regulation due to the gate design, causing high turbulences. The turbulence will wear off the seat and disc of the valve, compromising the sealing performance over time.
