Can the valve be installed at an angle?
Thread Content
I use bevel-gear gate valves on my fire protection pipes. Since the pipe is buried at a depth of only 1 meter, but the valve itself is over 1.4 meters long, it would extend above the ground level if installed vertically. Is it possible to install it at an angle? Dear sea friends, please help
Gate valves can be installed at an angle without any impact on their sealing performance
If you install it at an angle, it won’t be easy to connect the pipe flanges, right?
It is possible to install it at an angle, but external pipelines or flanges need to be taken into consideration
It can be installed at an angle, as long as it is convenient to operate; it is prohibited to install the valve handle vertically downward
It can be installed at an angle; it doesn’t matter if it’s used above the waterline
There are no requirements regarding whether the gate valve should be installed horizontally, vertically, or at an angle; it is sufficient as long as it is convenient for installation, maintenance, and operation.
It is recommended to install it on the ground; there is no need to install it underground； Underground installation: (1) Valve chambers must be added, resulting in increased costs ； (2) Later maintenance is inconvenient ； (3) Inconvenient for personnel to operate ； (4) Water accumulation is difficult to handle ； It is recommended to install it above the ground, adding 4 90-degree elbows; the bottom of the valve should be at a height of 40 cm above the horizontal plane (this takes insulation into account; if insulation is not considered, 20 cm is sufficient) ；
It’s okay to install them at an angle; some of the gate valves on our steam pipes are installed that way as well
It can also be installed on the ground, and it is easy to operate.
