Gate Valves By Aew Valves Private Limited

SOLID WEDGE/SPLIT WEDGE
The low center stem to wedge contact in the gate valve reduces the torque considerably. Operation is easy and the wedge does not stick when the valve is closed hot and allowed to cool. The split-wedge design compensates for minor misalignments of seals due to pipe stresses and makes the valve tight on both seating faces over a wide range of pressures. Thus we have established long cycle life.

EFFICIENT WEDGE GUIDING
Long, smooth ribs are lined up with seat rings and wedge. Seating faces do not contact each other until the valve is virtually closed. T-head wedge-stem connection with an unusual low point contact reduces torque and prevents lateral stresses on the stem.
