Auto Self Closing Valve

GATE VALVE

Due to their metal seat and faces, Gate valves may be preferred vis-a-vis a resilient seated butterfly valve, for instance in a sewage treatment plant or mains leading out of a pumping station . In the event of power trip in the entire station, owing to their backup motive power these valves can be programmed to close automatically. The power pack is similar to the one provided in the pump discharge butterfly valve.

A battery of such valves (for instance all 5 valves in the filter bed) can be operated by one common power pack.
