AW GV15BHLF Watermark Approved T Handle Gate Valve 15mm

Overview

Austworld Logi AW GV15BHLF T handle gate valve features BSP 1/2” 15mm female threads and is Australian Watermark approved. A T shaped handle is made of brass and more compact compared to more common wheel design handles in a typical gate valve, ideal for tight spaces.

Gate valves operate by lifting a gate or wedge internally in the path of the fluid. When fully open, the gate is lifted completely out of the flow path, resulting in minimal flow restriction and low pressure loss. Full bore construction further helps maximise flow capacity.

Compared to ball valves, gate valves require multiple 360 degree turns instead of 1/4 turn operations in ball valves. This means the ball valves are preferred in applications where frequent opening/shutting is needed, whereas gate valves are suitable in more industrial applications where the valves remain mostly in open or shut positions. Gate valves are designed to be fully open or closed during operations and not used for flow throttling or regulation due to the gate design, causing high turbulences. The turbulence will wear off the seat and disc of the valve, compromising the sealing performance over time.
