A gate valve structure having a pair of opposed spacer carriers (72,74) fitting within the valve chamber in abutting relation to each other and spacing the floating upstream and downstream seats (60, 62) from each other a predetermined minimum distance. Each carrier (72, 74) has an annular base (76) adjacent one of the flow passages and a pair of spacers or guides (78, 80) secured to the base and extending from the base (76) in a direction axially of the flow passage. The spacers (78, 80) on opposed carriers are in abutting relation to each other and form a smooth continuation. An expanding gate assembly (28) fits between the spacers and moves between open and closed positions relative to the flow passages.
