BS Soft Seat Gate Valve

Water supply and industrial pipeline systems require reliable isolation valves for controlling and shutting off fluid flow. African Valve, a BS Soft Seat Gate Valve Supplier in South Africa, supplies resilient-seated gate valve configurations for dependable isolation in water supply, wastewater, irrigation, mining, fire protection and industrial utility applications.

BS soft seat gate valves, also known as resilient-seated gate valves, use an elastomer-covered wedge to establish tight shut-off against the valve seats. EPDM is commonly selected for water service, while other elastomers such as NBR may be used where compatible with the fluid and operating conditions.

For waterworks applications, BS 5163 is associated with cast-iron gate valves and provides selection guidance alongside BS EN 1074 requirements.
