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.
 
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,

We need 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch. Thanks
 
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.
