PP PVC CPVC Gate Valve
PP, PVC and CPVC gate valves are lightweight, corrosion-resistant shut-off valves designed for full open or full close service in chemical, water treatment and industrial piping systems. They provide reliable isolation, low pressure loss and long service life in aggressive environments.
Overview
PP, PVC and CPVC gate valves are thermoplastic isolation valves used to stop or allow flow in piping systems. The valve operates by lifting or lowering a gate inside the body, making it suitable for applications where minimal pressure loss and straight-through flow are required.
