Introducing the

The S-Gate Valve, a pioneering and accredited innovation, offers seamless valve installation at any desired location without disrupting water supply. Specially engineered for potable water systems, this durable and resilient seated gate valve boasts a high-quality ductile iron construction. 

The S-Gate Valve not only provides temporary isolation solutions for water networks but also serves as a permanent installation once in place. Harnessing cutting-edge valve technology, this certified valve ensures an efficient and economical solution for your water system needs.

How the S-Gate Valve works

Traditionally, the line stops involved extraction of size x size coupon extraction. However, when the coupons are vertically extracted, often coupons are not able to be retrieved and would be displaced inside the main.

To eliminate this issue, the S-Gate valve has adopted a milling technology instead of traditional coupon extraction methodology. 

As part of the drilling process, shavings are released instead of coupon, where the pressure from the existing water main extracts the metal shavings produced during the S-Gate Valve drilling. 

With this technology transition, the S-Gate valve removes a minimal surface area of the pipe, maintaining the structural integrity.
