Gate valve flanged E1, DN100, PN16, short, for water, soft-sealed, without handwheel, GJS-spheroidal graphite cast iron (series 4000E1) 5032241

Wedge gate valve – reliable flow shut-off

The E1 flanged wedge gate valve, made of spheroidal graphite cast iron (GJS), is a proven armature element designed for water supply networks. Its construction, based on the principle of a sliding wedge, ensures a tight shut-off of the flow – crucial in service situations, repairs or when it is necessary to change the flow direction in the pipeline. The valve is designed to operate in water systems and is characterized by high corrosion resistance, confirmed by a GSK certificate.

Construction and practical application

The E1 valve is an ideal solution for both professional installers and end-users. Its full-bore design minimizes flow resistance, which translates to no pressure drop in the installation and allows for free pipeline cleaning. It is worth remembering that gate valves are not intended for flow regulation – their task is only to fully open or close the water supply. Attempting to throttle the flow may lead to damage to the valve and loss of its tightness.

The flanged valve from the 4000E1 series is distinguished by its short construction, which facilitates installation in places with limited space. Made of spheroidal graphite cast iron, it provides strength and resistance to atmospheric conditions and mechanical damage. The soft-sealing wedge further increases the tightness of the connection, minimizing the risk of leaks. The lack of a handwheel means that an additional drive or handle mounted on the valve stem must be used.

Key features and benefits

• Durable construction: Made of spheroidal graphite cast iron (GJS) guarantees long-lasting and reliable operation even in difficult conditions.
• Tightness: The soft-sealing wedge ensures a secure flow shut-off and minimizes the risk of leaks.
• Full-bore flow: No flow resistance means no pressure drop and the possibility of free pipeline cleaning.
• Corrosion resistance: The GSK certificate confirms high corrosion resistance, which extends the life of the valve.
• Short construction: Facilitates installation in tight spaces.
• Application: Ideal for water supply networks and installations requiring reliable shut-off of water flow.
