6101 PVC Gate Valve, White, 1-1/2" Slip

Description: This type of slide gate valve was originally designed for draining tanks and controlling shallow bodies of water like ponds. They also can also be used as shut off valves in low pressure or vacuum air lines. Please note that each valve size has an open and closed pressure rating. Because the plastic paddle can flex with flowing water they are not good for throttling water or trying to close the valve when water is flowing – thus the low mid flow cut off water pressure of ~6psi. These slide valves are sometimes referred to as “knife” gate valves and are a great alternative to ball valves in low pressure applications since they are full flow, quick opening, and are generally a much lower cost especially in larger sizes. Works well with soft debris like waste but hard debris can settle in the bottom of the valve seat/slot and prevent it from closing completely. They can easily be repaired by unbolting and replacing the seals or the valve body. The handles simply unscrew for easy – if you do so be sure not to damage the valve shaft. Extension rods are available for remote actuation. APPLICATIONS: Ideal for low pressure and vacuum applications as a quick shut-off for liquids. KEY FEATURES: Unrestricted flow - Full port opening - Simple push/pull operation SPECIFICATIONS: Maximum Pressure - 30 psi Open/45 psi Closed, Schedule 40 PVC Slip fittings REPAIRS: Replaceable body, seals and handle Please note: Paddle is slightly smaller than opening to ease opening/closing. Valve seals cover any gaps and ensure no leaks.
