Slide Gate Seal
Slide Gate Seal
(OP)
is there a seal available for a mechanical slide gate that is 100% leak proof. I dont beleive there is. When you deal with a structure that is not static the seal is always going to have a minimal amount of leakage I beleive.
Thanks
Thanks

Real answer: Talk to a manufacturer. I'm sure they'll have their products rated, and I'm sure they'll talk your ear off about them.

Two manufacturers that I have specified before (Rodney-Hunt and Waterman) have allowable leakage rates in accordance with:
MEETS LEAKAGE REQUIREMENTS OF
AWWA C-562
You are going to get some "leakage" at a slide gate.
