model e expanding GATE VALVEs

GWC Model E cast-body expanding gate valves Grease Fittings
are designed for oil and natural gas wellhead or The valve body may be lubricated through the
other critical service applications with operating grease fittings provided in the valve body. All
pressures from 2,000 to 5,000 psi. All GWC fittings meet the requirements of NACE MR0175.
model expanding gate valves are API 6A Latest
Edition monogrammed equipment and are Exposed Bolting
available in bore sizes ranging from 2-1/16 All exposed bolting meets the requirements
through 7-1/16. of NACE MRO175.

Operating Temperatures Full Through Conduit Bore

GWC Model E Gate Valves are available with The full through conduit bore provides for smooth
API 6A Temperature ratings of L (-50 F) through flow with minimal turbulence. It also provides an
Y (650) F). Valves for API Temperature ratings of unobstructed passage for well intervention tools.
X and Y are pressure de-rated as required per
Annex G of API 6A Latest Edition.

Expanding Gate
The expanding gate is field-replaceable and
provides a tight mechanical seat that does not
rely on line pressure. This ensures seal integrity
at both high and low pressures.

Seat Designs
The standard gate to seat and seat to body
sealing interface is a slip-fit design, assisted
by inserts in the face and rear of each seat.

Metal-to-metal gate to seat and pressed-fit seat
to body sealing is used for high-temp valves and

is otherwise available upon request.

Packing Design
Chevron style stem packing is replaceable and
can be re-energized by injection between the
packing stacks. This ensures efficient sealing for
the life of the valve. Graphite packing is used for
high-temperature application.

Body Lubricant
All Model E Valves are shipped with body filler
grease appropriate for the material class and
temperature rating of the valve to ensure
smooth operation of the valve under pressure
and to prevent corrosion during storage prior
to deployment.

Seat Design unobstructed passage for well intervention tools.
The standard gate to seat
and seat to body sealing
interface is a two-piece

design consisting of a
seat ring and a body
bushing, assisted by
inserts in the rear of each
piece. Metal-to-metal

gate to seat interface is

standard. Metal inserts
are used for high-

temperature applications.


Packing Design

Stem packing is
replaceable and assisted
by an anti-extrusion ring.
This ensures efficient
sealing for the life of the
valve. Graphite packing is
used for high-temperature
applications.
