About PVC Gate Valves:
PVC gate valves provide simple and effective control of water flow in various plumbing applications. They operate by raising or lowering a wedge-shaped gate within the valve to open or close the flow path.
Benefits of PVC Gate Valves:
- Durable:Â PVC construction resists wear and corrosion.
- Efficient: Minimizes friction loss when fully open.
- Simple Operation:Â Easy to use with a manual handwheel.
- Cost-Effective:Â Affordable flow control solution.
Ideal Uses PVC Gate Valves
- Irrigation Systems:Â Control water flow to different zones.
- Water Supply Lines:Â Shut off water to specific areas.
- On/Off Control:Â Where throttling (partial flow) is not needed.
Important Note: Gate valves are NOT designed for throttling. Use ball valves for applications requiring partial flow adjustment.
