AAP Cast Iron Gate Valve, 2"

This AAP rising stem cast iron gate valve has a cast iron body, bonnet and wedge, a brass stem and flanges to AS 2129 Table E. It is supplied in 9 sizes from 2" (50mm) to 12" (300mm).

A wedge gate valve moves a wedge-shaped gate between two body seats using a spindle, so when it is fully open the fluid has a straight, uninterrupted passage with very little pressure drop. It is not recommended for flow regulation and should only be used fully open or fully closed. On a rising stem valve the stem lifts out of the valve as the handwheel opens it, so the stem position shows whether the valve is open or closed, and you need headroom above the valve. The wedge is a solid wedge disc. The maximum temperature is 200°C and the cold working pressure is 1,379 kPa (13.79 bar), with flanges to AS 2129 Table E. The body, bonnet and wedge are cast iron with cast bronze seat and wedge face rings, a brass stem, Teflon packing and a graphite and steel body gasket.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the size to match your Table E flanges, and check the hole count against your mating flange, because it differs between Table D and Table E. Allow headroom above the valve for the rising stem.
