Frequently Asked Questions

  • Gate valves are manual or actuator-operated, used to start or stop fluid flow by raising or lowering a gate inside the valve.
  • Check valves are automatic one-way valves, closing by themselves to prevent backflow - manual control needed.

  • Slow operation: they require multiple turns, making quick shutoff difficult in emergencies.
  • Not for throttling: using them partially open can cause vibration and seat wear.
  • Potential to seize: stems can become stiff if the valve isn’t used regularly.
  • Bulkier design: rising-stem models need more vertical space.

Avoid gate valves when you need:

  • Fast shutoff (e.g., emergencies)
  • Precise flow control or throttling
  • A compact, low-profile installation

In those cases, ball, globe, or butterfly valves are better options.

  • They provide very low pressure drop when fully open due to their straight-through flow design.
  • Offer a tight shutoff, making them reliable for system isolation .
  • Suitable for large pipe diameters and high-pressure or viscous fluid service.

Yes - because they are used slowly, stems can seize, and sealing surfaces are prone to wear. Regular operation and lubrication help maintain performance.

Most gate valves are manual, operated via handwheel or lever. However, they can be fitted with electric or pneumatic actuators for remote control or automation, acting like other valve types.
