Gate valves
Sliding gate valves - Indispensable for gas and water applications
Gate valves are indispensable in many industries, especially when it comes to controlling gas or water pipes. These products make it possible to carry out maintenance work on fittings by completely closing or opening pipelines as required. Gate valves are often made of materials such as stainless steel, brass or plastic. It is important to note that gas and water gate valves are not suitable for regular use, as they are generally only used for short-term applications.

Different variants of gate valves
Choosing the right gas or water valve will set you up perfectly for your next project. These products primarily support you in the heating and plumbing sectors when repairing and maintaining piping systems. Gate valves are installed inside the pipes and act as effective shut-off valves. They are operated via a spindle that allows the gate valve to be opened or closed. If you turn the spindle clockwise, the gate valve closes; if you turn it counterclockwise, the gate valve opens again.
Various product variants are available on the market. These include parallel and wedge-shaped gate valves, as well as metal-seated and soft-seated water or gas gate valves. The demand for wedge-shaped and soft-seated gate valves in particular is constantly increasing. The gate valves also differ in terms of the stem design; there are models with rising and non-rising stems, as well as gate valves with bypass. In addition to gate valves, you will also find a wide range of valves and shut-off devices in our online store, including pneumatic coaxial valves, non-return caps, safety valves and many other products.
