Knife Gate Valve

The knife gate valve is a uni-directional wafer valve for general industrial application. The nominal widths available range from DN050 to DN1200 with flange connections complying with EN 1092-2 PN10 or alternatively, ANSI B16.5. To be able to cover a very wide range of use and offer ideal application-related solutions the knife gate valve is available in 4 different standard types (A, B, C, D).
