Wedge gate valve flanged E3, DN200, PN10, short, for water, soft-sealed, without handwheel, GJS-spheroidal graphite cast iron (series 4000E3) 5001485

Wedge gate valve – reliable flow shut-off

The E3 flanged wedge gate valve, made of ductile iron, is a key element of water supply infrastructure. It is used to completely shut off the flow, finding application during maintenance, repair work, and when changing the flow direction in the network. Its construction ensures tightness and durability, and the use of a soft-sealing wedge minimizes the risk of leaks.

The valve is designed as a full-bore valve, which means there are no constrictions or limitations in the flow, and therefore no pressure drop in the pipeline. This also allows for free cleaning of the pipes.

Construction and application

The operating principle of the valve is based on moving the wedge in the fluid stream, allowing for effective flow shut-off. The E3 valve is designed to work with water and has a pressure class of PN10 and a nominal diameter of DN200. Made of cast iron GGG 40.3 (GJS-400-18), it is characterized by high resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage. The short construction facilitates installation in tight spaces. The lack of a handwheel means that an additional drive or handle mounted externally is required.

Features and benefits

• Durability and resistance: Ductile iron provides high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, guaranteeing long-term operation even in harsh environmental conditions.
• Tightness: The soft-sealing wedge provides reliable sealing, minimizing the risk of leaks and water losses.
• Full bore: The full-bore design eliminates flow resistance, maintaining optimal pressure in the water supply network and enabling efficient pipeline cleaning.
• GSK certificate: The valve has a GSK certificate confirming anti-corrosion protection – an additional asset for installers who care about the longevity of the installation.
• Easy installation: The short construction facilitates installation even in limited spaces.
• Compliance with standards: The valve meets the requirements of EN 1092-2 for flanges, guaranteeing compatibility with other elements of the water supply installation.
• Safety: The valve is intended only for complete opening or closing – avoiding intermediate positions prevents damage to the wedge and seat caused by cavitation or vibration.

The E3 flanged wedge gate valve is a solid and reliable solution for professionals and end-users looking for proven elements of water supply infrastructure. Its durability, tightness, and compliance with standards make it an ideal choice for various applications in water supply networks.
