Valterra 7101 ABS Gate Valve, Black, 1-1/2" Slip

Description

This type of slide gate valve was originally designed for draining tanks and
controlling shallow bodies of water like ponds and lagoons. They can also be
used as shut off valves in low pressure or vacuum air lines. Please note that
each valve size has an open and closed pressure rating. Because the plastic
paddle can flex with flowing water they are not good for throttling water or
trying to close the valve with fast moving water – thus the low mid flow cut
off water pressure of approximately 6 pounds per square inch (psi). These
slide valves are sometimes referred to as “knife or guillotine” gate valves
and are a great alternative to ball valves in low pressure applications since
they are full flow, quick opening, and are generally a much lower cost
especially in larger sizes. They work well with soft debris like waste but
small hard debris can settle in the bottom of the valve seat/slot and prevent
it from closing completely. They can easily be cleaned or repaired by
unbolting and replacing the seals or valve body. The handles simply unscrew
for easy replacement – if you do so be sure not to damage the valve shaft.
Extension rods are available for remote actuation. The Valterra 7101 gate
valve has 1-1/2″ Schedule 40 female slip fittings which receive 1-1/2″ pipe.
Black acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) body and hub fittings are
resistant to corrosion and mild chemicals as are the polypropolene (PP) paddle
and thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) seals. The valve shaft is made of 304
stainless steel. Hardware is zinc plated steel. It has a maximum pressure
rating of 45 psi in the closed position, 30 psi in the open position, and a
mid-flow maximum closing pressure rating of 6 psi. The maximum temperature
rating is 205 degrees F (96 degrees C). See Gate Valve Measurement chart for
dimensions and Head Pressure chart for determining the pressure based on the
height of water being held back.
