Gate valve

A gate valve is a fitting that is usually used to completely open or close the entire flow cross-section of a pipe. As soon as a gate valve is closed, maintenance work can be carried out on downstream valves, for example. A water gate valve is used to regulate the flow in watercourses and weirs. In contrast to the valve, a gate valve is not used to regulate the flow rate, but only to open or close the flow completely. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
