When installing a gate valve, is it permissible for both the valve body and the valve stem to be in a horizontal position? That is, is it allowed to install the gate valve as shown below?
It can be inspected and disassembled from any angle, as long as it does not affect operation.
It is still possible to install it this way; in some cases, the installation passage is vertical, which has an impact on the sealing surface
It’s possible; when the pipelines are large, they are placed horizontally to reduce the height of the auxiliary lines

1. Corridors, a safety hazard. Add green walkway signs and warning signs. 2. Long-term deformation. Add support. 3. It’s best to adjust it to an upright position; the bypass size should be sufficient now. Add a step for easier operation.
It can be installed horizontally, but this position is in the way too much and can easily cause injuries
