AP-Series Bonneted Knife Gate Valve (Handwheel)

The AP-Series knife gate valve is a unidirectional knife gate valve with bonnet. The completely enclosed body-bonnet structure ensures 0 leakage from the knife gate to the surrounding. This valve is very suitable to contaminated/hazardous media for the safety of surrounding.

Body:

  • The completely enclosed structure ensures 0 leakage from valve to the surrounding, perfect for contaminated/hazardous media for the safety of surrounding.
  • Super thin body design and compact construction contribute easy installation.

Gate:

  • Knife edge gate provides strong cutting stress and tight sealing.
  • Gate is hard chromium coated after delicate surface grinding, providing abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance against the flow flushing.

Seat:

  • Side entry seat is replaceable, reducing the maintenance cost.
  • The preloaded seat is adjustable to meet different sealing class and compensates normal seat wear.
  • Seat retainer covers the side of the seat and prevents the seat from direct flow flushing.
