There are several types of brass valves.

There are several types of brass valves. One type is a gate valve. Gate valves are commonly used in pipe calibers ranging from DN15 to 100 mm. They are mostly used for cut-off purposes. They cannot be used as throttle valves. Manufacturers of gate valves include Brass Valve Manufacturers.

The other type is a globe valve. It is similar to a gate valve, except that it has nonmetallic parts. These valves can have fire-test certificates for safety reasons. These certificates will guarantee the valve will work during a fire. Additionally, they can be ATEX-certified. ATEX is a European regulatory framework for potentially explosive atmospheres. This certification means that the valve does not contain any source of ignition. Normally, valves are not required to have this certification, but they may be installed in hazardous areas.

These valves are generally available in 1-1/2 in. to 14-inch diameters. Some of them come with non-rising stems. The valves can be used in industries such as mining, water treatment, and chemical processing. If you need a valve that can work in a wide range of environments, these valves are an excellent choice.

Gate valves can be made of a variety of materials, from 316 stainless steel to carbon steel. Their features include non-rising stems, solid wedge discs, and flanged end connections. Gate valves are available in a variety of sizes. These valves can operate in temperatures between -20 degrees F and 800 degrees F. Their viewports are made of cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, or boronit glass. They can also have purge connections for additional cooling.

Non-rising stem brass gate valves are often called dark rod valves or rotary rod valves. These valves are typically operated by a hand wheel. A hand wheel rotates the ram plate to drive the stem. The stem is usually threaded on the bottom, with a guide groove on the disc allowing linear motion. These valves can be used in applications where minor leaking is not a problem.

Gate valves are a multipurpose valve that can be used for gas, oil, or water. They are used in both above and underground installations. Although they are used primarily as a cut-off valve, they can also be used as a venting valve or a low vacuum system valve.

Gate valves are used in several industries and are essential components in various production processes. They are used in power generation, offshore oil and gas, and nuclear applications. Some manufacturers have specialized in the manufacture of gate valves. For example, SharkBite manufactures multi-turn gate valves.

These gate valves feature solid, dependable designs that are easy to operate. The series 8501 series has a 1" inch brass gate valve with a threaded end stem and an easy-turn wheel. Moreover, these valves feature a non-rising stem and a full port body that ensures minimal flow loss when the valve is in the on position. These valves are also available in stainless steel.
