Gate valves are commonly used in plumbing and industrial applications, such as water and gas pipelines, and are known for their durability and ability to handle high pressure.

There are two main types of gate valves: rising stem and non-rising stem valves.

The gate is typically a flat disk that sits on top of a round seat and can be moved up or down to control the flow.

They can be operated manually with a hand wheel, or they can be automated with the use of actuators such as electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic.

Rising stem valves have a stem that extends up when the valve is opened, while non-rising stem valves have a stem that does not move when the valve is opened or closed.

They are typically not as precise as other types of valves, such as globe valves, and are not recommended for regulating flow. They are mainly used to start and stop the flow.

A gate valve is a type of valve that controls the flow of a liquid or gas by opening or closing a gate-like barrier inside the valve.
