Gear-operated Gate Valve

A gate valve that requires manual operation to control the flow of gas or liquid. It is equipped with a wheel that moves the gate or disc, which releases or holds the media through a piping system. Since it is operated by hand, this valve type is simple to operate. 

Another benefit of a gear-operated valve is its price. A manual valve is generally cheaper compared to an automatic one.

Depending on the application, this gate valve can be made from different materials. For instance, if it is intended to handle corrosive and abrasive media, the ideal material is metal, such as stainless steel and cast iron.
