Brass Gate Valves

Brass gate valves are essential components widely used in plumbing systems, industrial processes, and fluid control applications where reliable shut-off and regulation of flow are required. These valves feature a gate or wedge-shaped disc that moves perpendicular to the direction of flow to either block or allow fluid passage within the pipeline. The construction of brass gate valves typically includes a brass body, bonnet, and gate, along with a stem that connects the gate to the operating mechanism, such as a handwheel or actuator. When the valve is in the fully open position, the gate is lifted out of the flow path, allowing fluid to pass through with minimal obstruction. Conversely, when the valve is closed, the gate is lowered to block the flow completely.
