Shop / valterra 1 1&2 inch waste valve
"Fresh Water Drain Gate Valve This valve, measuring 1-1/2 inches, features a Spigot x Slip design. It is constructed from PVC hubs and body, chosen specifically for their resistance to corrosion.
PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is a widely used thermoplastic material known for its durability and chemical resistance. In the context of gate valves, PVC provides excellent performance in water management applications where corrosion resistance is crucial.
The Spigot x Slip configuration refers to the valve's connection types: - Spigot: This refers to a male end that fits inside a corresponding socket or hub. It provides a secure, leak-resistant connection. - Slip: This involves a socket or hub where a pipe can be inserted, creating a tight seal without the need for additional fittings.
The 1-1/2 inch size denotes the diameter of the valve's opening, crucial for determining its compatibility with existing plumbing systems and fittings. This size is common in residential and commercial plumbing setups, offering versatility in various water management tasks.
The gate valve design is characterized by a mechanism that controls the flow of fluid through a linear motion of a gate or wedge. When fully open, the gate valve allows unrestricted flow, and when fully closed, it provides a tight seal to stop the flow completely. This functionality makes gate valves suitable for applications requiring on/off control rather than flow regulation.
The choice of PVC for both the hubs and body of this valve ensures it is not only resistant to corrosion but also lightweight and easy to install. These characteristics contribute to its suitability for use in freshwater environments where exposure to moisture and chemicals can lead to degradation over time in other materials.
In summary, the Fresh Water Drain Gate Valve, with its 1-1/2" Spigot x Slip design and PVC construction, stands out for its corrosion resistance and suitability for various water management applications. Whether used in residential plumbing or commercial installations, this valve offers reliability and ease of installation, backed by the durability of PVC in demanding environments."
