The GV12 brass screwed gate valve is ideal for domestic water services and heating plants. It’s also used in the fire protection industry for sprinkler systems. The valve is easy to install in multiple pipe systems due to its long thread pattern.

The GV12 is a reliable and robust solution to control the flow simply with an on/off operation. It features a metal seat wedge design to isolate non-aggressive, non-corrosive and non-abrasive media up to +80°C in the absence of steam.

Rated to PN20 or PN16, depending on size, this manual full bore gate valve offers an economical and maintenance-free solution when permitting or preventing flow is required; it gives minimal resistance or pressure drop when fully open (full flow). It’s also compact for its diameter size and has a non-rising stem, making it the ideal solution for applications where vertical space is limited.

The most popular size we supply is 1”, but the range is available from 3/8” up to 4”, all in stock and ready for next day delivery.
