Cast Steel Knife Edge Gate Valve

Forex Valves Cast Steel Knife Edge Gate Valve is designed for reliable isolation in industrial piping systems where robust construction and consistent shut-off performance are essential. Its knife-edge gate design is suitable for applications where conventional gate valves may not be appropriate, particularly services involving suspended solids, viscous media and demanding process fluids.

The valve can be supplied with an Outside Screw & Yoke (OS&Y) arrangement for convenient operation and maintenance. Depending on service requirements, seating arrangements can include replaceable soft seats or metal seating options to provide suitable sealing performance for different industrial conditions.

For demanding pressure and temperature applications, the valve can be configured with suitable body, gate, stem and seat materials according to the characteristics of the process medium. Material options may include stainless steel, alloy materials, duplex grades and other application-specific materials.

Available in different size and pressure configurations, the valve can be supplied with wafer, flanged or lugged connections depending on the required installation arrangement. Manual operation can also be combined with gearbox, pneumatic, electric or hydraulic actuation where required.
