A gate valve uses a gate to control the flow of the media. A gate is a solid disk structure that is connected to the stem. The gate is lifted to open the valve and is returned down to its original position to close the valve. The valve is accompanied by a bonnet which when rotated controls the position of the gate. This valve is also called a multi-turn valve because it takes more than a 360° turn to fully open or close the valve.
VMS gate valves are available with iron pipe thread, sweat, and compression connections and in sizes ranging from 1/4” through 2”.
