WKM Pow-R-Seal
Double expanding gate valve
Enhanced safety and seal reliability.
G7 Fabricated Gate Valve
GROVE valve for long-term integrity and drop-tight shutoff in liquid pipelines
Maximize sealing and install in any orientation
The G7 gate valve, part of the GROVE valve family, complies with API Spec 6D, using a through-conduit design that promotes long-lasting, reliable sealing and actuation performance.
Factory tested to both double block-and-bleed and double isolation-and-bleed, G7 valves comply with requirements of a wide variety of applications, including oil and gas, CCUS, and renewable fuels service. Internal guide tabs enable installation in any orientation, giving you extra flexibility in tight spaces.
Reduce product contamination in liquid pipelines
The G7 valve body is constructed of pressure-vessel-grade plating, which is less prone to raw material defects and enables designs with smaller body cavity volumes versus traditional cast gate valves. That low internal volume translates to less product contamination in your operations.
Improve safety with double block-and-bleed and double isolation-and-bleed design standards
In the closed or open position, a tight seal is formed between the gate and both seats. This allows the body cavity to be bled and effectively creates two barriers for isolating pressure downstream of the valve for increased safety.
G7 fabricated gate valve reduces maintenance while delivering long lifetime performance.
Save time and cost with inline repairability and less maintenance
The SLS seal optimizes performance and reduces maintenance requirements. The seal has a long history of proven performance and is hydrocarbon fugitive emission and fire tested. The filled PTFE shell is backed with a corrosion-resistant alloy spring, making it suitable for virtually all line media.
Reduce turbulence and allow pigs and scrapers to pass
In these large-bore valves, pressure drop through the valve is no greater than that through an equal length of equal-diameter pipe, which reduces destructive turbulence. Pigs and scrapers can pass these fullbore, through-conduit valves as well.
API Spec 6D GROVE Valves
Fabricated gate valves.
Simplify lubrication and enable emergency sealing
The standard stem injection port enables the option to lubricate the stem for extended valve service or inject plastic packing for emergency stem sealing.
The standard seat injection feature enables the option to lubricate the seat face for extended valve service or inject sealant for emergency seat sealing.
