Kent Gate Valves

Kent Gate Valves are designed for reliable ON/OFF service and function as bidirectional valves, enabling flow in either direction. With a wedging action, they provide an effective seal, while in the fully open position the straight-through bore design ensures unobstructed flow with minimal turbulence, erosion, and pressure drop.
