DN450 Gate Valve

A DN450 Gate Valve, approximately equivalent to 18 inches in diameter, is a vital component in fluid control systems, particularly in water distribution networks. This straightforward device operates by using a gate or wedge to control the flow of water: lifting to allow flow or lowering to halt it completely. Available with rising or non-rising stems, gate valves offer versatility for various installations, including compact underground settings. Despite sharing a name with other valve types, gate valves are distinctive for their pivotal role in effectively managing fluid flow within pipelines and other infrastructure.
