The operation of this shut-off valve is based on the linear movement of a shutter, which rises and falls like a gate, allowing the passage of water or fluid or not. This type of valve is used when a low pressure loss and a completely free passage are required.
Gate valves for water are often found in air conditioning, heating and water supply systems. Its flanged version makes it particularly easy to insert it into systems and is very useful for facilitating maintenance and possible replacement operations.
