BENEFITS OF RISING STEM GATE VALVES

Benefits of rising stem gate valves

Were you ever unsure whether you should select bronze or brass as the material for your threaded valves? Do you know the differences and properties of each material?

FIVC OS&Y Gate Valves: A Superior Solution for Reliable Flow Control

The FIVC OS&Y Resilient Seated Rising Stem Gate Valves represent a premium solution for above-ground and underground installations, offering exceptional reliability, ease of operation, and long-term durability. Designed to meet the highest performance standards, these valves are ideal for water plants, irrigation systems, and a wide range of other applications.

Key Features of FIVC OS&Y Gate Valves

| Visible Operation for Maximum Clarity

One of the standout advantages of the OS&Y (Outside Screw and Yoke) design is the visible indication of the valve’s open and closed position. The threaded stem, attached to the center of the wedge, rises when the valve is opened and descends when it is closed. This visual clarity makes it easy for operators to immediately confirm the valve’s status, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.

| Resilient Seated Wedge Gate for Perfect Sealing

The resilient seated wedge gate ensures a tight and reliable seal, even under demanding conditions. This feature minimizes leakage and enhances the valve’s performance in applications where consistent flow control is critical. Additionally, the design provides high resistance to wear and tear, extending the valve’s operational life.

| Advantages of OS&Y Structure

The OS&Y configuration offers several operational and maintenance benefits, including:

Stem Lubrication: The external position of the stem facilitates easy lubrication, reducing friction and wear over time.
Packing Gland Accessibility: The exposed design simplifies maintenance of the packing gland, making it easier to keep the valve in optimal condition.
Insulation Ease: The structure supports efficient insulation for underground applications, providing versatility across various environments.
Erosion Prevention: With the stem kept outside the media flow, it is protected from erosion and corrosion, significantly enhancing the valve’s durability.

| Smooth and Controlled Operation

The FIVC OS&Y Gate Valve’s design allows for smooth, slow, and proportional opening and closing. This operational precision prevents sudden pressure changes, effectively mitigating the risk of water hammer—a critical consideration in water systems to maintain the integrity of pipes and equipment.

| Economic and Long-Term Benefits

The valves are designed to operate with lower torque requirements, reducing the manual effort needed and extending the valve’s and its components’ lifespan. This results in long-term cost savings for users, particularly in applications where frequent operation is necessary.

| Applications

FIVC OS&Y Gate Valves are highly versatile and suitable for various applications, including:

Water Plants: Ensuring reliable flow control in critical water treatment processes.
Irrigation Systems: Providing efficient and controlled water distribution for agricultural needs.
Industrial Systems: Performing under stringent requirements in diverse industrial environments.
