I need to find a good supplier/manufacturer (price, quality, reliability) for gate valves with working pressures of up to about 800 psi for water supply. Thanks.

RE: Heavy-Duty Gate Valve

You can't have both. LOL (i.e. Price & Quality)

All kidding aside, Velan offers a pretty wide range of valves and has a good reputation. They actually have an engineering staff that knows what they are talking about and should be competitive with other manufacturers of quality valves.

Good luck,

What is your size requirements?

RE: Heavy-Duty Gate Valve

(OP)
We need 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch. Thanks

RE: Heavy-Duty Gate Valve

(OP)
Thanks for all the replies. I've since been able to source suitable valves due to your help. However, I still have one problem. All the valves I've seen so far come with a rising stem and handwheel. In the open position the wheel may rise to almost 5 feet, for the 10-inch valves for example. Space is critical. The valves will be in chambers about 3 feet deep. Do valves of these sizes and pressure ratings come with non-rising stem and square wrench nuts? Thanks.
