Thay equal or exceed the requirements established by standards of the American Water Works Association and conform to Federal Specifications WW- ‘500, Type Il, Class | CLOW AWWA Gate Valves are spectcaly designed for heavy Dressure service. Neck, anges, and boll are made extra heavy to withstand pipe strain and possible shitiag. Body, cover ‘gales, and stem are bul for extra stengt, with claan and sim: ple internal construction, to assure lang service anc low main- tenance. Operation of the Valve Turning the stom roloases the wodging pressure on the gates lowing them to move away form their seats betore starting upward travel, Further turning ofthe stem raisos the gatee into the fully opened position. When closing the val, the gates move freely downward with- Cut friction, to & postion opposite their seats {As the gatos approach the bottom of the valve, the iron hooks come into contact with stops which pravent further eownward ‘movement of the hooks. The bronze wedges rising on those hooks spread the gates apart and force them against the Construction Body: Cast iron, bronze mounted. Sturdy propartions provi Protection against damage. ‘tom: Manganese bronze of high tensile and torsional strength, ‘with accurate, periectly machined tweads. Ample diamotere assure smooth valve movements ‘Stem Nut: Solid bronze. Independent of hooks, gates, and ‘wedges.

The bottom of each wedge forms a rocker bearing on tho ron hooks, lating wesges aciust to varying positions of the gates in olosing. The long side ie used in closing the valve and the short si in opening it Low Torque Thrust Bearing: Vaives 4" ~ 12" are fitted below the stem collar with an exclusive Low Torque Thrust Bearing which Provides high load capacity and low triction, This bearing educes operating torque up to 60% yet seals perfectly for repacking under proseure Gates and Gate Rings: Gates 3" and smalier are bronze, Gates 4" and larger are high songth cast on with bronze gate rings tolled into machined and dovetailed groaves under pressure to ‘make gate and ring one inseperable unit After fing, gate rings ‘are accurately machined. ‘Cese Rings.
