Gate Valves for Water and Wastewater Systems: Applications and Selection Guide
Learn how gate valves are used in water and wastewater systems for pipeline isolation, maintenance shutdowns, low-resistance full-open flow, and reliable shutoff in municipal water networks, treatment plants, and industrial utility lines. The guide explains key selection factors such as resilient-seated design, ductile iron construction, epoxy coating, corrosion resistance, wastewater service conditions, AWWA-related standards, and proper on/off operation.
