Slab Gate Valve (Through-Conduit)

A gate valve where the gate is a flat slab with a bore through it. When open, the bore aligns with the pipeline providing a full, unrestricted bore. No body cavity - ideal for piggable pipelines, slurry, and viscous oil. Standard for transmission pipelines to API 6D.

What is a Slab Gate Valve (Through-Conduit)?

A gate valve where the gate is a flat slab with a bore through it. When open, the bore aligns with the pipeline providing a full, unrestricted bore. No body cavity - ideal for piggable pipelines, slurry, and viscous oil. Standard for transmission pipelines to API 6D.

What is a Slab Gate Valve (Through-Conduit) used for?

Slab Gate Valve (Through-Conduit)s are used in industrial piping systems for on-off isolation, flow control, or backflow prevention depending on the valve type. They are selected based on the process fluid, operating pressure and temperature, required shutoff class, and pipeline size. Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies Slab Gate Valve (Through-Conduit)s certified to API 6D, ASME B16.34, and other applicable standards.

How do I select the right Slab Gate Valve (Through-Conduit) for my application?

Selecting the correct Slab Gate Valve (Through-Conduit) requires specifying: (1) nominal pipe size (NPS/DN), (2) pressure class per ASME B16.34, (3) body and trim material based on fluid compatibility and temperature, (4) end connections (flanged RF/RTJ, butt-weld, socket-weld, or threaded), (5) required certifications (API 6D, ISO 9001, fire-safe API 607).
