The Equiwedge Gate Valve by Edward is designed for high-temperature and high-pressure applications. It features a unique design with two separate, flexible wedge halves that ensure tight sealing even at low differential pressures.

 

This design allows the wedges to align with the seats, even when tilted or rotated, minimizing wear and enhancing valve longevity.

 

The valve is resistant to thermal binding, ensuring that it can be opened with a torque or load lower than the design closing load.
