About Sharpe Valves 30276 Series Stainless Steel 316 Gate
This class 200 Sharpe valves 30276 series stainless steel 316 gate valve has a non-rising stem and female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on both ends. It has a solid wedge gate and screwed bonnet, and its stainless steel 316 construction provides higher strength and greater corrosion resistance than stainless steel 304. Stainless steel 316 is sometimes called "marine-grade stainless steel" due to its resistance to chloride corrosion. The non-rising stem stays fixed in place when the gate is raised or lowered, making it suitable for low clearance or underground use. The maximum pressure is 200 pounds per square inch (gauge) (psig) for use with water, oil, and gas (WOG) and the working temperature range is 0 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This valve has female NPT threads on both ends for connecting to male pipes with tighter seals than straight threads Mounted on top of the valve, a manually operated hand wheel activates the inside screw mechanism, which lifts and lowers the gate to start and stop the flow between the connected pipes This gate valve meets American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A351 standards for quality assurance. Gate valves control flow in a piping system by lifting a gate out of the path of steam, fluids, or gases. They are designed to block or permit flow, as the vibrations and force of flow repeatedly striking a partly lowered gate can damage the gate and seats. To accommodate different flows and pressure requirements, gates come in four types: solid wedge (appropriate for almost all liquid service), flexible wedge (appropriate for steam service), split wedge (appropriate for normal temperature, non-condensing gas and liquid service, including corrosive service), and parallel disc (appropriate for high and low pressure applications). Hand wheels or levers activate the screw mechanism in the valve’s bonnet, which comes in various designs, to open and close the gate. Union bonnets are preferable for building
