About Gradual On/Off Valves
More
Threaded Gradual On/Off Valves
Also known as gate valves, these gradually open and close to prevent system damage from suddenly starting and stopping flow.
Pull handles open and close faster than wheel handles.
Rising stems lift as the valve opens and lower as the valve closes to provide a visual indication of whether flow is on or off. The stem is isolated from the process media for a longer service life than valves with a nonrising stem.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

Threaded Gradual On/Off Valves for Boiler Blow-Off
Prevent boiler scale deposits and sediment buildup with these valves that meet ASME standards for boiler drainage applications. They gradually open and close to prevent system damage from suddenly starting or stopping flow.
Wheel handles open and close with multiple turns, providing more controlled, shock-resistant flow than lever handles. They have a nonrising stem that stays in the same position whether the valve is open or closed.
Lever handles open and close faster than wheel handles.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

Rising Stem, and
Eight Bolt Holes
Bolt these valves to flanges. They gradually open and close to prevent system damage from suddenly starting and stopping flow.
Epoxy-coated cast iron valves are more corrosion resistant than plain cast iron or steel valves.
Wheel handles open and close with multiple turns, providing more controlled, shock-resistant flow than pull handles.
Pull handles open and close faster than wheel handles.
Nonrising stems stay in the same position whether the valve is open or closed. Valves with nonrising stems are often used underground and in other low-clearance locations.
Rising stems lift as the valve opens and lower as the valve closes to provide a visual indication of whether flow is on or off. The stem is isolated from the process media for a longer service life than valves with a nonrising stem.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

These valves have a sharp gate that slices through thick slurries, wastewater, dry bulk solids, and other materials that would clog other gradual on/off valves. They bolt to flanges and gradually open and close to prevent system damage from suddenly starting and stopping flow. The wheel handle opens and closes the valve with multiple turns, providing controlled, shock-resistant flow. The rising stem lifts as the valve opens and lowers as the valve closes to provide a visual indication of whether flow is on or off. The stem is isolated from the process media for a long service life.
