Soft seal socket gate valve is a special on-off valve for the pipeline system. It controls the fluid switch through the vertical lifting of the gate, and has no flow regulation function. Compared with the traditional flange gate valve, it adopts the bell-and-spigot connection structure, without the need of flange plate. It adapts to the fixed pipeline installation scene, and is mostly used in municipal water supply, community pipe network, industrial water transmission and other pipeline projects.

The working principle of the socket gate valve is clear. The vertical movement of the gate plate realizes the conduction and cut-off of the pipeline medium, which is only used for the on-off control of the pipeline. The core feature of the product is the socket connection design, which can be directly butt welded with the pipeline, simplify the installation structure and adapt to the compact pipeline construction requirements.

The valve has two advantages: small installation space, suitable for dense pipeline, pipe network transformation, space limited construction scene; The joint sealing surface is concentrated to reduce the leakage point and the pipeline leakage probability. The short plate is of poor dismountability. After being welded and fixed, the pipe shall be cut for later maintenance, which cannot be disassembled separately. It is more suitable for the pipe system that is fixed for a long time and requires no frequent maintenance.

Soft seal socket gate valve is simple in structure, stable in sealing performance, and suitable for various compact pipeline projects. With high adaptability under fixed working conditions, it can effectively solve the installation problems of dense pipes and reduce the hidden dangers of pipe network leakage. It is a common supporting valve for municipal and industrial water pipelines.
