GATE VALVE

摘要

A valve body for a gate valve. The gate valve has a media flow aperture and guide rails for guiding the valve body between an opened position to allow media flow through the aperture and a closed position to prevent media to flow through the aperture. The gate valve has a sealing surface adjacent the media flow aperture. The gate valve has a guide rail and a framework linked together with brackets securing the assembly to the structure of the flow aperture. The valve body engages the sealing surface when the valve body is in the closed position. The valve body has a periphery and a sealing assembly mounted to the valve body adjacent the periphery for engaging the sealing surface of the gate valve. The valve body also has guide rail engaging members for allowing the valve body to move on the guide rails between the opened and closed positions. The guide rail engaging members are offset with relation to the sealing assembly in a direction of media flow through the aperture of the gate valve.
