LMV-BB Series GR Gate Valve (Bell x Bell) HDPE

All gate valves are constructed of ductile iron with FBE (fusion bonded epoxy) coating on the inside and outside. The gasket bell outlet accepts IPS (iron pipe size) HDPE pipe and is designed to push on to the plastic pipe. Each valve includes two stainless steel internal pipe stiffeners that are designed to insert into the end of the HDPE pipe to keep the pipe true round.  The pipe end must be beveled and lubricated with gasket pipe lube before inserting into the gasket bell end. The bell end has a brass grip ring joint restraint system which eliminates the need for concrete thrust blocking.
