The Red Valve Series G Knife Gate Valve

High-quality, full-port design

Compact, low profile
Leak-proof elastomer packing gland
Precision-buffed stainless steel gate

The Red Valve Series G Knife Gate Valve features a cast iron body with
stainless steel wetted parts. This efficient valve design affords the user a
high-quality valve in which all the wetted parts, including the gate, seat,
packing gland and flange face are stainless steel while providing cost
savings with cast iron flanges.

The Series G has a double-lead ACME thread that reduces operating torque.
A special ring-shaped, multilayer packing gland is combined with elastomer
to ensure a tight seal. The gate corners are machined with chamfered edges
so that the corners of the gate do not wear the packing. The chamfered edge
and elastomer seal packing gland prevent packing wear. These valves are
manufactured to handle a wide variety of fluids in chemical plants, pulp and
paper mills, wastewater treatment plants, mining operations, sugar mills and
foodprocessing facilities. Seat Max. Operating Rate of

Series G Knife Gate Valves can be fitted with a variety of actuators, including 316 SS 200°C 40 cc/min/in
standard handwheel, bevel gear, pneumatic actuators, hydraulic actuators, EPDM 100°C 0 cc/min/in
electric actuators and chainwheel actuators. Other options include limit
switches, solenoid valves and bonnets.

The Red Valve Series G Pneumatic / Electric Knife Gate Valve

High-quality, full-port valve

Compact, low-profile design
Leak-proof elastomer packing gland
Pneumatic or electric actuation for automatic control

Red Valve manufactures a complete line of pneumatically and electrically

actuated Series G Knife Gate Valves. The RD Actuator is constructed of a
lightweight, self-lubricating Black Amalgon cylinder, aluminum cylinder
heads and stainless steel piston rod. Black Amalgon is resistant to chemical
and corrosive attack and is more dentresistant than aluminum or brass.
Pneumatic positioners can be used to either close or open the valve upon
increase of signal pressure. Optional electropneumatic positioners accept
a standard ISA 4-20 mA signal. Listed below is an actuator sizing chart based
on 60 psi plant air. Air to open/fail closed and air to close/fail open actuators
are available up to 12 inches.

Electrically actuated knife gate valves are actuated by AUMA electric operators
as a standard. These operators can be supplied with either 220-volt or 440-volt
three-phase service and have a NEMA 4 rating. Standard features include Class F
insulation, a double-lead ACME stem thread, bronze drive nut, declutchable
handwheel override, opening and closing torque and stroke limit switches, 100
three pushbutton station with selector switch and position indicator. Other
80
electric operators, ratings and services are available. A modulation version is Flow Rate %
available that accepts the standard ISA 4-20mA input signal. When ordering 60
electrically actuated knife gates, please specify electrical service and pressure
drop across the valve. 40
