Description
Kartar C.I. Sluice Valve (Rising Stem, PN 10), available 50 mm to 600 mm at PN 10. Sluice valves handle bulk water isolation at the bore sizes where gate valves in smaller patterns stop being practical — pumping mains, treatment plant headers and distribution networks. A rising stem gives visual confirmation of position without touching the handwheel, at the cost of clearance above the valve. The IS 210 cast iron body is the economical choice at larger bores. It suits steady water service but not lines that see mechanical shock. Flanged connections allow the valve to come out for overhaul with the pipework left in place. The table above gives the price for each size in the range.
