Sluice Gate Valve is a linear-motion isolation valve designed to provide full open or full close operation in water and utility pipelines. It is primarily used where minimal pressure drop and unobstructed flow are required.
Sluice Gate Valves are not intended for throttling, but excel in on/off service with tight shut-off performance.
They are widely installed in water distribution networks, pumping stations, desalination plants, and municipal infrastructure, where reliability and long service life are critical.
