Wedge gate valve flanged E1, DN50, PN16, short, for water, soft-sealed, without handwheel, GJS-spheroidal graphite cast iron (series 4000E1) 5032777

Flanged gate valve for water – reliable flow shut-off

The wedge gate valve E1, made of ductile iron, is a key element of water supply infrastructure. It is used to reliably shut off water flow in distribution networks, as well as during maintenance and repair work. Its construction ensures tightness and durability, minimizing the risk of failure and leaks. The valve is particularly recommended for use in water supply systems where reliable operation and corrosion resistance are required.

The E1 type valve is characterized by a straight-through flow channel, which means there are no constrictions or resistance to the fluid. This prevents pressure drops in the pipeline and allows for free water flow, as well as efficient cleaning of the installation. This is particularly important in water supply systems where maintaining adequate water quality is a priority.

Construction and materials

The valve is made of high-quality ductile iron (GJS-ductile iron), which guarantees its mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. In addition, a soft seal ensures tightness even under varying operating conditions. The flanged design allows for easy installation and removal of the valve from the pipeline. The GSK certificate confirms the high quality of anti-corrosion protection, ensuring the long-term reliability of the device.

The valve has a short construction (series 4000E1), which minimizes its dimensions and facilitates installation in tight spaces. The lack of a handwheel simplifies operation and reduces the risk of mechanical damage. The valve is designed to operate at a nominal pressure of PN16, making it suitable for most standard water supply installations. The nominal diameter DN50 ensures compatibility with pipes with a diameter of 50 mm.

Application and advantages

• Straight-through flow: no constrictions or resistance to the fluid, no pressure drop in the pipeline.
• Durable construction: made of ductile iron GJS – resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage.
• Tightness: soft seal ensures reliable shut-off of water flow.
• Easy installation: flanged design facilitates installation and removal of the valve.
• GSK certificate: confirmation of high quality anti-corrosion protection.
• Short construction: minimal dimensions facilitate installation in tight spaces.
• Application: ideal for water supply networks, industrial installations and irrigation systems.
• Flow shut-off: used to completely cut off the water supply during maintenance or emergency work – not suitable for flow regulation.
