Bolt these valves to flanges. They gradually open and close to prevent system damage from suddenly starting and stopping flow.
Epoxy-coated cast iron valves are more corrosion resistant than plain cast iron or steel valves.
316 stainless steel valves have the best corrosion resistance.
Wheel handles open and close with multiple turns, providing more controlled, shock-resistant flow than pull handles.
Pull handles open and close faster than wheel handles.
Nonrising stems stay in the same position whether the valve is open or closed. Valves with nonrising stems are often used underground and in other low-clearance locations.
Rising stems lift as the valve opens and lower as the valve closes to provide a visual indication of whether flow is on or off. The stem is isolated from the process media for a longer service life than valves with a nonrising stem.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

Flanged Gradual On/Off Valves for Thick Liquids and Dry Materials
- Valve Type: Gate
- For Use With: Air, Argon, Deionized Water, Ethanol, Ethylene Glycol, Helium, Isopropyl Alcohol, Krypton, Methanol, Neon, Nitrogen, Salt Water, Soap Solutions, Water, Xenon
These valves have a sharp gate that slices through thick slurries, wastewater, dry bulk solids, and other materials that would clog other gradual on/off valves. They bolt to flanges and gradually open and close to prevent system damage from suddenly starting and stopping flow. The wheel handle opens and closes the valve with multiple turns, providing controlled, shock-resistant flow. The rising stem lifts as the valve opens and lowers as the valve closes to provide a visual indication of whether flow is on or off. The stem is isolated from the process media for a long service life.

Vapor-Sealing Flanged Gradual On/Off Valves
- Valve Type: Gate
- For Use With: Gasoline, Oil, Steam, Water
- Specifications Met: API 602, ASME B16.34, MSS-SP-117
Control the flow of steam, hazardous gases, and other vapors without risking leaks. These valves have an accordion-like bellows around the stem that expands as they open and contracts as they close, forming an airtight seal. If the bellows fail, a reinforced seal—also known as a backseat seal—minimizes the risk of leakage. Ideal for heating and steam service applications, they maintain their seal even as the temperature swings. Plus, the stem housing is welded to make sure nothing leaks out. Also known as gate valves, these valves open and close gradually with multiple turns of the wheel handle to prevent sudden starts and stops. They bolt onto flanges, so they’re easier to install and remove for cleaning and repairs than threaded or weld-on valves.
The handle raises as these valves open and lowers as they close. At a glance, you can see if flow is on or off. The stem is isolated from what’s flowing through your line, giving these valves a longer lifespan than valves with a nonrising stem.

Plastic Flanged Gradual On/Off Valves for Drinking Water
- Valve Type: Gate
- For Use With: Drinking Water
- Seal Material: Buna-N Rubber
- Specifications Met: NSF/ANSI 61
Easier to install and remove for maintenance than threaded and weld-on valves, these valves bolt and unbolt to flanges. They meet NSF/ANSI 61 for safe use in drinking water systems. Also known as gate valves, they open and close gradually with multiple turns of the wheel handle to prevent damage from sudden starts and stops in flow. Whether these valves are open or closed, the handle stays at the same height because of the nonrising stem. This helps them fit in low-clearance areas, such as underground lines. All are plastic, making them a lightweight alternative to metal valves. When the seals wear out, replace them using repair kits (sold separately).
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.
