Underground Extension Spindle Gate Valve Description
The Underground Extension Spindle Gate Valve provides a convenient solution for operating buried gate valves from above ground. This innovative valve features an extended stainless steel spindle that reaches up to 36 inches above grade. The underground valve body is constructed from durable cast iron or stainless steel to withstand soil pressures.
To operate the valve, simply turn the handwheel on the above-ground spindle to open or close the gate inside the valve body. The handwheel provides the leverage needed to smoothly operate the valve from the surface, without digging.
The wedge gate design with rubber seat ensures drip-tight shutoff when closed, preventing leakage even on buried valves. When open, the full-port body allows unrestricted flow.
The extension spindle and hardware are stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long service life. Flanged connections allow direct tie-in to the buried pipe network.
With its underground durability and above-ground accessibility, the Underground Extension Spindle Gate Valve simplifies operation and maintenance of buried gate valves. No more hassles with excavations, confined space entry, or valve repairs underground. All service is performed easily and safely from above grade.
