Victaulic Unveils New Line of Versatile Knife Gate Valves
Series 793 and Series 797 offer substantial savings through ease of operation and cost-effective maintenance solutions
EASTON, Pa. (June 8, 2004) - Victaulic Company announced today the launch of Vic-Knife Series 793 and Series 797 Knife Gate Valves, offering an innovative modular design and cost-saving solutions through ease of installation and reparability.
The Vic-Knife Series 793 and Series 797 are equipped with interchangeable modular ends to accommodate IPS carbon, grooved, or plain-end steel pipe or plain-end HDPE pipe. Ideal for slurry and abrasive services, the Series 793 and Series 797 are designed with carbon steel body plates that include a flush port option at the bottom of the valve.
Both Series 793 and Series 797 Knife Gate Valves employ a straightforward design and single set of bolts, offering contractors ease of installation and allowing for quick disassembly and reassembly for seat and end replacement, which eliminates the cost of replacing the valve when new seats are necessary. Because it does not contain flanged ends like traditional knife gate valves, only two couplings are required to join the valve, making it more cost-effective to maintain by reducing the amount of time required for ongoing valve maintenance and replacement, and increasing overall efficiency.
Rated to 150 psi (1035 kPa), Vic-Knife Series 793 and Series 797 are available in 3-inch through 12-inch (80 - 300 mm) sizes with a handwheel, gear operator, chainwheel, and pneumatic, hydraulic or electric actuator.
