General Four-way Diverter Valve
3” – 16” Bore Sizes / ANSI 150# – 600#
The General Valve Four-Way diverter valve does not rely on line pressure or external hydraulic pressure for positive sealing.
Made of highly resilient elastomers, the seals are either bonded or mechanically retained in the seating elements, or slips. Retraction of the slips away from the valve body prior to cycling prevents friction and abrasion, which can damage seals. The seals never slide or rub against the valve body or ports.
Metal-to-metal secondary sealing prevents overcompression of the resilient primary seal. Mechanical retraction and compression ensure no-leak stream separation and longer valve life.
Inline maintenance
Inline maintenance cuts operating costs and downtime. Because the seating segments are
mounted via dovetailed connections to the plug, they can be removed from the top or the bottom
and examined without having to take the valve from the line or disturbing the actuator. This added
flexibility allows the valve to be installed upside down for easy access to actuator and slips.
The Cameron WKM Saf-T-Seal slab gate valve is a simple, yet rugged and reliable, through-conduit valve. It utilizes two floating seats to provide a complete seal with the gate. Each seat contains a metal seat face plus a peripheral seal. The full bore design has the same pressure drop as an equivalent length of pipe and allows passage of all types of scrapers (pigs).
The WKM Saf-T-Seal gate valve’s through-conduit design provides these specific advantages resulting in reliable performance and long life:
Protection of seat faces
Smooth, continuous conduit for flow
Block-and-bleed capability
