INTRODUCTION – CAST IRON SLUICE VALVE FOR INDIAN APPLICATIONS

A Cast Iron Sluice Valve is one of the most critical flow-control components used extensively across Indian water supply networks, irrigation systems, fire-fighting pipelines, industrial process lines, and municipal infrastructure projects. Designed to provide reliable isolation of fluid flow, the cast iron sluice valve is preferred for its rugged construction, long service life, ease of operation, and suitability for Indian operating conditions such as variable pressure, inconsistent water quality, and continuous duty cycles.

Krishna Industries, based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is a trusted supplier of cast iron sluice valves catering to Indian buyers including government contractors, water boards, plumbing contractors, infrastructure developers, industrial maintenance teams, and valve traders across major Indian cities. Our cast iron sluice valves are manufactured using high-grade cast iron and ductile iron components, ensuring dependable performance in underground and above-ground installations.

Commonly known in India as sluice valves, gate valves, or CI gate valves, these valves are widely installed in water distribution pipelines, overhead tank lines, pump house installations, sewage lines (non-slurry), fire water systems, cooling water lines, and general utility pipelines. Whether used in municipal water works, irrigation canals, industrial estates, housing societies, or commercial complexes, cast iron sluice valves remain a backbone product in Indian piping systems.

WHAT IS A CAST IRON SLUICE VALVE?

A cast iron sluice valve is a linear-motion isolation valve that operates by lifting or lowering a gate (wedge) to start or stop fluid flow. The valve is designed for full open or full close operation and is not intended for throttling. When fully open, the valve offers minimal pressure drop, making it ideal for water distribution networks.

The body of the valve is made from cast iron or ductile iron, while the internal components such as wedge, spindle, and seat rings are engineered for durability and smooth operation. These valves are typically operated manually using a handwheel, cap, or gear mechanism depending on size and installation requirements.

TYPES OF CAST IRON SLUICE VALVES SUPPLIED

Krishna Industries supplies the following commonly used types of cast iron sluice valves in India:

1. Rising Spindle Cast Iron Sluice Valve
In this type, the spindle moves up and down as the valve opens and closes, giving a clear visual indication of valve position. Widely used in pump houses, plants, and accessible installations.

2. Non-Rising Spindle Cast Iron Sluice Valve
Here, the spindle rotates in place without vertical movement, making it ideal for underground or space-constrained installations such as municipal pipelines and buried networks.

3. Metal Seated Cast Iron Sluice Valve
Used where rubber seating is not preferred and higher temperature tolerance is required.

4. Resilient Seated Cast Iron Sluice Valve
Features rubber-lined wedge for better sealing, reduced leakage, and smooth operation. Highly preferred in modern water supply systems.
