What Is a Gate Valve?
A gate valve is a linear motion valve used to start or stop fluid flow. It operates by lifting or lowering a gate (wedge or parallel disc) inside the valve body. When fully open, the valve allows unobstructed flow with minimal pressure drop; when fully closed, it provides tight sealing to completely stop the flow.
