A novel side seal assembly for a slide gate is provided that essentially comprises a seal member having first, second and third mutually spaced sections formed integral with a base section, the first and second sections defining a slide-receiving channel and the second and third sections defining a tapered wedge-receiving channel, said second section being capable of flexing away from said first section toward said third section under a flexing force applied thereto; a tapered wedge member for disposition in said wedge-receiving channel; and attachment means for attaching said seal member and said wedge member to a gate slide guide, said attachment means including fastener means for retaining said wedge member at a selected depth in said wedge-receiving channel, said wedge member acting on said said second and third sections to produce a flexing force that causes said second section to flex toward said first section whereby to cause said first and second sections to engage and form a watertight sliding seal with opposite surfaces of a slide disposed in said slide-receiving channel.
