3 Inch Gate Valve

The 3 Inch gate valve, roughly equivalent to DN80, is an essential piece of equipment in fluid control systems, known for its space efficiency and minimal flow resistance. Operating on the principle of lifting a barrier, or gate, out of the fluid path, this valve type ensures a clear and unrestricted flow when fully open. The gate can be designed with either parallel or wedge-shaped faces; the latter is particularly effective for applying pressure on the sealing surfaces, ensuring a tight shut-off. Also known as sluice valves, they are valued for their straightforward operation and compact design, which makes them ideal for a variety of applications, from water treatment to industrial processes.
