DIN Soft Seat Gate Valve

African Valve supplies DIN soft seat gate valves in Egypt for reliable isolation in water supply, wastewater, irrigation, pumping stations and industrial utility pipelines. These resilient-seated gate valves use an elastomer-encapsulated wedge to provide tight shut-off when the valve is fully closed.

DIN/EN resilient-seated gate valves are widely used in water-service applications. Depending on the valve configuration, they can be supplied with ductile-iron or cast-iron bodies, stainless-steel stems, EPDM or NBR-encapsulated wedges and flanged ends. Pressure rating, dimensions, materials and operating arrangements are selected according to the application and project requirements.
