What Is a Gate Valve? A gate valve gets its name from the internal mechanism that enables water flow. This mechanism looks like a bit of gate that moves up and down on a stem connected to the handle. The handle is a screw handle that moves the gate up and down, opening and closing the valve. They are best used in on/off applications where the valve is used infrequently. They are sometimes found in home plumbing systems, though ball valves are becoming more popular in this area. They are also commonly found in the oil and gas industry, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, automotive, and marine applications. They can be used in high pressure and high-temperature environments, often found in manufacturing.

A brass gate valve is a type of valve that regulates fluid flow through pipes. This type of valve typically has a stem and screw mechanism that can be rotated to stop or start the flow in one direction. Gate valves usually have an opening gate, which allows for quick closing when maintenance (or emergency) work is required on the system. Brass gate valves are often used to withstand high pressure and temperature fluctuation in water systems. However, Brass is also a relatively expensive material, so it’s not commonly used for other types of fluid systems.

When closed, a brass gate valve forms a watertight seal which prevents fluid from flowing through it.
There are a total of four sizes of a brass gate valve which are:
-The size being 1/2″,3/4,1″,11/4″,11/2″,2″
