Wedge Gate Valve

A wedge gate valve is a linear motion, multi-turn valve used for on-off and isolation in industries like oil, gas, and water. It operates by lifting a barrier from the flow path for unobstructed flow when fully opened. It's not suitable for throttling, as it can only be fully open or fully closed. Wedge gate valves are easy to install due to their symmetrical design, which eliminates the need for a predefined flow direction. This characteristic reduces potential errors during pipeline system assembly and maintenance procedures. Their simple manufacturing process enhances reliability and minimizes maintenance requirements.
