14"-24" Resilient Wedge OS&Y Gate Valves with Flanged Joint Ends
The AMERICAN Series 2500 Ductile Iron Resilient Wedge Gate Valve is designed for use in drinking water, sewage and fire protection systems, as well as irrigation and backflow control systems. The Series 2500 is available in applicable configurations that are rated to 250 psig ANSI/AWWA requirements and is UL Listed and FM Approved.
Thrust Washers
Two thrust washers are used. One is located above and one is located below the thrust collar. These thrust washers provide easy operation.
Ductile Iron Construction
The ductile iron body, bonnet and wedge provide strength, durability and a pressure rating that meets or exceeds the applicable requirements of AWWA C515. The tensile strength of ductile iron is more than twice that of cast iron. This added strength makes the Series 2500 more durable and allows it to be rated at 250 psig. This strength and higher pressure rating is provided in a compact, lightweight and easy-to-handle ductile iron valve.
Fusion-Bonded Epoxy
The Series 2500 valve is epoxy coated on the interior and the exterior. The fusion-bonded epoxy coating is applied prior to assembly. The bolt holes and body-to-bonnet flange surfaces are fully coated.
Pressure-Energized Bonnet Gaskets
The body-to-bonnet seals incorporate pressure-energized o-rings which reduces the need for excessive bolt loading required by designs that use flat gaskets. The gaskets are typically
