GATE VALVE, GROOVED ENDS, PN16

Gate valves is linear shut-off valve used to stop or restart fluid flow in piping systems. They operate by lifting or lowering a flat gate/wedge into the sealing seat to block or allow flow. Gate valves feature a valve body that houses the gate, a bonnet that covers the sealing components, the flow passage, and a stem that connects to an actuator or handwheel to slide the gate up or down.

Product Description

GATE VALVE, GROOVED ENDS, PN16 Description:

Gate Valve: A type of valve that uses a sliding wedge disc (gate) to control flow. Gate valves are either fully open or fully closed.
Grooved Ends: A type of pipe connection system where pipes have grooves cut into the ends that mate with coupling housings and gaskets to create sealed joints. Grooved couplings do not require welding or threading.
PN16: This refers to the pressure rating/class of the valve. PN16 means the valve is rated for 16 bar or 232 psi maximum working pressure at room temperature. This would be considered a Class 150 valve in some standards.
Body Material: The main body and gate component would typically be made from materials like cast iron, ductile iron, steel, stainless steel, or bronze depending on the application.

A grooved end, PN16 gate valve would be a gate style valve with grooved pipe connections ends rated for 16 bar working pressure. More details would be required about size, body material, brand/manufacturer, operating temperature, etc. to provide a complete description. Please let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions.

GATE VALVE, GROOVED ENDS, PN16 Advantages:

1. Ease of Installation: Grooved-end connections significantly simplify the installation process compared to traditional flanged or threaded connections. The grooved ends eliminate the need for welding or threading, reducing installation time and labor costs.

2. Reliable Sealing: The resilient rubber gasket used in grooved-end connections provides a tight and reliable seal, preventing leaks and ensuring long-term performance. The gasket's ability to regain its original shape after compression ensures continued sealing over time.

3. Durability and Corrosion Resistance: Gate valves with PN16 pressure ratings are designed to withstand high pressures and harsh environmental conditions. The use of high-quality materials, such as ductile iron or stainless steel, provides excellent resistance to corrosion and wear.

4. Versatility and Compatibility: Grooved-end connections are compatible with a wide range of piping materials, including ductile iron, steel, and PVC. This versatility makes gate valves with grooved ends suitable for various applications in various industries.

5. Reduced Maintenance Requirements: The self-cleaning nature of grooved-end connections minimizes the need for frequent maintenance. The rubber gasket prevents debris buildup, reducing the risk of blockages and malfunctions.

6. Cost-Effectiveness: The overall cost of installing and maintaining grooved-end gate valves is often lower compared to traditional flanged or threaded connections. The ease of installation and reduced maintenance requirements contribute to significant savings.

7. Environmental Friendliness: The use of grooved-end connections reduces the environmental impact of installation by minimizing noise pollution and eliminating the need for hazardous solvents or adhesives.

8. Suitable for Drinking Water Applications: Gate valves with PN16 pressure ratings and grooved ends are certified for use in drinking water applications. The resilient rubber gasket and high-quality materials ensure the safety and purity of the water supply.
