under 250 degrees F (Red HT2 Liner) and 200 degrees F (Amber Standard Liner).
Size Range: 02” to 28” - Standard Pressure Rating 150 psi.
Size Range: 30” to 42” - Standard Pressure Rating 100 psi.
Operation/Actuation Options: Manual hand-wheel & bevel gear, air cylinder, hydraulic, electric, and chain wheel.
Air Cylinders: Standard bore diameters are sized for 80 psi, and rated for 150 psi. Oversized cylinders are
sized for 60 psi, and rated for 150 psi.
Valve Orientation: 2” through 14” sizes have a proper flow orientation. 16” valves, and larger, do not. See GA
drawings.

limitations.
Installation Requirements: Typical installations include applications in both horizontal and vertical piping. See GA
drawings.
Hydro Testing/Pressure Rating: Standard at 1.5X rated pressure. Higher test ratings are available, with or without optional gate
alloys.
Valve Port: Full, unobstructed flow, enabling reduced internal wear.
Wear Components: Rebuild kit consists of a one-piece urethane liner and a molded elastomer gate seal. SS gates
are rarely replaced.
Safety Locking Devices: Standard in air cylinder actuated valves up to 30” and all manual valves.
Stainless Gate Material: Standard is 304 SS. Others are available and in stock.
Materials of Construction: The NewCon knife gate valve bodies are internally and externally epoxy coated ductile iron.
The knife gate is standard with 304 SS, and the liner
is one-piece, field replaceable urethane.
The gate seal is molded elastomer,
and is also field replaceable.
