- From DN50 to DN700
- General construction similar to VG standard knife gate.
- Bidirectional gate, with two seat gaskets.
- Longer body in two parts assembled by bolts.
- The gate is longer and its lower part rests out of the body, which requires a second system of gland packing.
- The gate contains a hole, which assures:
