Wedge Gate Valve: Technical Guide for Engineers & Procurement
1. What Is a Resilient Wedge Gate Valve?
The resilient wedge gate valve is an advanced member of the wedge gate valve family. Its core feature is that the gate disc is either fully coated with or integrally made of an elastic material (typically EPDM rubber) instead of the traditional all‑metal sealing design. This construction is intended to provide reliable bidirectional shut‑off sealing while avoiding the common sticking and high‑torque operation problems found in conventional rigid wedge gate valves.
