Industrial Gate Valves for Reliable Flow Isolation
Engineered gate valve solutions for industrial piping, process systems and critical isolation applications. Explore FMV's range of dependable gate valve configurations.
Reliable Isolation for Industrial Piping Systems
Gate valves are designed primarily for starting or stopping flow in pipelines and process systems. Their gate mechanism provides a straight-through flow path when fully open.
FMV Valve Automation offers a focused range of gate valve configurations selected for different industrial service requirements, installation conditions and operating environments.
From bolted bonnet designs to pressure seal and forged steel configurations, our range is built around dependable isolation and practical industrial use.
Gate Valve Types for Different Industrial Applications
Choose the appropriate gate valve configuration based on application requirements, pressure conditions, process media, installation requirements and operating conditions.
Bellow Seal Gate Valves
Designed for applications where stem sealing and minimizing potential fugitive emissions are important considerations.

Gate Valve Frequently Asked Questions
What is a gate valve?
A gate valve is a linear-motion valve primarily used to start or stop flow in a pipeline. The gate moves into or out of the flow path to provide isolation.
What are gate valves mainly used for?
Gate valves are primarily used for isolation service, particularly where a relatively unobstructed flow path is required when the valve is fully open.
What types of gate valves does FMV offer?
FMV's current product structure includes Bellow Seal Gate Valves, Bolted Bonnet Gate Valves, Forged Steel Gate Valves and Pressure Seal Gate Valves.
How do I select the right gate valve?
Selection should consider process media, pressure, temperature, required connection, valve configuration, operating method and the intended service duty.
Can gate valves be used for throttling?
Gate valves are generally intended for fully open or fully closed isolation rather than continuous throttling service.
