PVC sliding gate valves provide a manual drain point for charged stormwater and rainwater pipework, where water remains in the line between rainfall events.
A hand-operated plastic paddle slides across the flow path to retain or release water. The valve has a female socket at both ends that fits over matching pipe.
The valve is intended for fully open or fully closed operation. Maximum pressure is 210kPa, with a maximum pressure across the paddle of 5kPa during opening or closing.
The valve can be fitted in horizontal or vertical pipework. The sockets are joined using PVC priming fluid and suitable PVC solvent cement.
