Brass Gate Valve

Brass Gate Valve

Brass gate valve is a kind of gate valves with brass body, non-rising stem and reduced port, pressed steel handle, full flow, BSP female connections. It is made up of nut, name plate, handwheel, stem, packing nut, gland, packing, bonnet, lock nut wedge and body. The material of these parts is brass. The nominal pressure that brass gate valve stands is 1.6MPa. As for the working temperature, it is from 120 to 180. Its size is 1/2''-2''. Water, non-causticity liquid and gas are the suitable medium for brass gate valves. Brass gate valves are utilized for residential and industrial applications. Most widely used as a component of fire hydrant kit assemblies, brass gate valves are also the choice for large agricultural irrigation systems and industrial systems where fluid flow control requires a high-performance, durable gate valve. Besides, it is used specifically when a straight-line flow of fluid and minimum flow restriction is needed. Brass gate valves also are multi-purpose shut-off valves for use in low pressure, domestic potable water systems.

Brass gate valve actually is a kind of gate valves. Therefore, it has the same working principle of gate valves. Brass gate valve is used for cut-off the medium, when full open the flow through the whole pipe, when the media running, there have a minimum of pressure loss. Brass gate valve is usually used for the working environments which do not use frequently and keep the disc full-or full-closed. But it does not applicable to regulator or reducing the medium. When the flow of medium is high-speed, the disc to open at local conditions can cause the vibration of the disc, and the vibration damper may damage the disc.
