Bronze gate valves

A gate valve is for on and off, not for throttling: open, it leaves a straight path with almost no loss. Ours are cast in leaded tin bronze, machined and assembled in Vatva, and made to IS 778 under BIS licence.

A bronze gate valve with screwed ends and a black handwheel, on a bed of dark foundry sand.
