16"-60" Series 2500 Resilient Wedge Gate Valve With Flex-Ring Ends

Product catalog summary

Construction Features:
The 16”-60” Series 2500 Resilient Wedge Gate Valve with Flex-Ring® Ends is designed for cost-effective installation with boltless restraint and increased deflection. It includes a ductile iron operating nut, integral lifting devices, and options for bevel or spur gear installation. Stainless steel nuts and bolts enhance corrosion resistance, and an epoxy coating ensures durability. The ductile iron construction provides strength and lighter weight, with a 250 psig rating. The wedge is encapsulated with EPDM rubber for zero leakage and low stem torques.

Specifications:
The valves are rated for 250 psig cold water working pressure, with ductile iron components meeting ANSI/AWWA C515 standards. They are certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61-G, with 304 stainless steel body bolting material. The valve features triple O-ring stem seals and thrust washers, with epoxy-coated surfaces complying with ANSI/AWWA C550.

Features and Benefits:
Ductile iron construction offers superior strength and a higher pressure rating. Triple O-ring stem seals and epoxy coating protect the valve, while lifting devices ensure safe handling. Thrust washers reduce operating torque, and pressure-energized rubber O-rings provide effective sealing.

Advantages Over Other Valves:
These gate valves do not restrict flow or increase pumping costs, allow pigging device passage, and can be serviced without pipeline removal. They offer higher pressure ratings and lighter weight than double disc gate valves, with zero leakage and lower torque requirements.

Dimensions and Parts:
Detailed dimensions and parts lists are provided for various sizes, including materials like ductile iron, stainless steel, and rubber for components such as bolts, nuts, and gaskets.

Installation Recommendations:
Gate valves should be installed vertically when possible, especially in raw sewage applications.

Dimensions and Actuator Details:
For a 60" valve with Flex-Ring® Ends, specific dimensions and actuator details are provided, including a Rotork actuator with an 8:1 gear ratio.

Parts List for 60” NRS Sizes with Bevel/Spur Gearing:
The parts list includes components like keys, operating nuts, O-rings, and actuators, with specified materials.
