Class 2500 LB Gate Valve

A Class 2500 LB Gate Valve is a type of gate valve designed to handle pressures up to 2500 LB (roughly equivalent to PN420). This valve operates by lifting a solid barrier, known as the gate, out of the flow path when the valve is opened. The gate, typically wedge-shaped, can be parallel to the flow when fully open, allowing for minimal flow restriction and efficient fluid movement. The valve requires minimal space along the pipe axis, making it suitable for applications where space is limited. This type of valve is commonly used in various industries for controlling the flow of fluids in pipelines due to its reliability, ease of maintenance, and ability to handle high pressures.
