Gate Valve

Gate Valve

African Valve is a trusted Gate Valve Supplier in Angola, providing reliable shut-off solutions for isolation duties in fluid and gas pipelines. Our gate valves offer minimal flow resistance and a straight-through flow path, making them ideal for full-open or full-close operations in critical industries. Designed for durability and zero-leakage performance, our valves handle high pressure and temperature with ease.

Function & Working

Gate valves function by lifting a solid gate or wedge out of the flow path to start or stop the media. They are not intended for throttling but for isolation applications where full flow is required. The rising or non-rising stem indicates the valve’s open or closed position, depending on the design.
