Socket Type Soft Seal Gate Valve

Description

KELOR Socket Type Soft Seal Gate Valve

KELOR Socket Type Soft Seal Gate Valve is designed to provide tight shut-off, smooth operation, and extended durability in low to medium pressure pipeline systems. Manufactured using high-quality ductile iron and advanced elastomer sealing technology, this valve is ideal for potable water lines, irrigation networks, fire protection systems, HVAC pipelines, and industrial fluid handling applications.

Unlike conventional metal-seated gate valves, the KELOR soft seal gate valve features an elastomer-coated wedge that ensures zero leakage (bubble-tight shut-off). The socket type end connection allows easy installation in compact piping layouts, making it especially suitable for space-constrained systems and underground installations.

The valve body and bonnet are epoxy powder coated for excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance even in humid or aggressive environments. A non-rising stem design (where applicable) reduces operational space requirements, while the smooth internal flow path minimizes pressure loss.

KELOR manufactures socket type soft seal gate valves in compliance with international quality standards, with each valve tested for pressure, leakage, and operational reliability. As an established manufacturer, supplier, and exporter, KELOR supports bulk project requirements with consistent quality and competitive pricing.
