14"-66" Resilient Wedge Gate Valves With Flanged Ends

AMERICAN’s 14"-66" Series 2500 ductile iron resilient wedge gate valves are suitable for use in potable water, sewage and fire protection systems. These valves have a rated working pressure of 250 psig with zero leakage. The waterway is clear and unobstructed.

Advantages Over Butterfly Valves

• No disc in waterway to restrict flow or to increase pumping costs
• Allows passage of pigging devices
• Internal parts can be serviced without cutting valve out of pipeline
• 250 psig rating provides for future pressure increases over the 150 psig pressure rating typically found on most butterfly valves

Advantages Over Double-Disc Gate Valves

• Zero allowable leakage
• Lower torque requirements to operate valve
• 250 psig pressure rating compared to the 150 psig rating typically found on double-disc gate valves
• Epoxy-coated inside and out
• Lighter total valve weight
• Single-gate construction. Double-disc gate valves have multiple parts that can seize together.
• Bypasses, rollers, tracks and scrapers are not needed.
