Sluice valves are key flow control devices used in waterworks systems to start or stop the flow of water. Commonly installed in main and branch pipelines, treatment plants, pumping stations, and storage tanks, they allow easy isolation of specific sections for maintenance or repair. These valves offer full-flow capacity with minimal pressure loss and are built for long-term, underground or above-ground use—making them essential for efficient water distribution.
This standard covers requirements for non-rising stem type sluice valves Pressure Rating: PN-1.0 , PN-1.6 from 5O to 1 200 mm sizes used for water supply up to 45°C and having double flanged ends for connections.
