Sluice Gates
Dependable End of Line Design
Sluice gate valves are true end-of-line valves, engineered to provide reliable isolation and precise control of water flow in a variety of applications. Their robust design makes them ideal for managing water in everything from drainage pipes and effluent ponds to distributor boxes and beyond. Unlike other valve types that focus on completely starting or stopping flow, sluice gates offer precise regulation of water levels and flow rates.
Penn-Troy currently offers 4" sluice gates meticulously crafted from cast stainless steel. Why cast stainless steel? Because it offers exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring your sluice gate valve stands the test of time. Compared to fabricated alternatives, cast parts are less likely to fail, providing long-term reliability and peace of mind.
Why Choose a Sluice Gate Valve?
Sluice gates excel in situations where you need to:
- Isolate: Completely shut off the flow of water for maintenance or repairs.
- Regulate: Control the amount of water passing through the valve to manage levels upstream or downstream.
- Divert: Redirect water flow between different channels or pipelines.
