RESILIENT WEDGE GATE VALVES shall conform to the latest revision of
AWWA Standard C-515 covering resilient seated gate valves for water supply service.
The valves shall have a ductile iron body, bonnet, and o-ring plate. The wedge shall be totally
encapsulated with rubber.
The sealing rubber shall be permanently bonded to the wedge per ASTM D429.
Valves shall be supplied with o-ring seals at all pressure retaining joints. No flat gaskets shall be
allowed.
The valves shall be either non-rising stem or rising stem, opening by turning left or right, and
provided with 2" square operating nut or a handwheel with the word “Open” and an arrow to
indicate the direction to open.
Stems for NRS assemblies shall be cast bronze with integral collars in full compliance with AWWA.
OS & Y (rising stems) shall be bronze. All stems shall operate with bronze stem nuts independent
of wedge and of stem (in NRS valves). Stainless steel stems or stem nuts are not allowed. NRS
stems shall have two o-rings located above thrust collar and one o-ring below. Stem o-rings shall
be replaceable with valve fully opened and subjected to full pressure. The NRS stems on 4" - 12"
shall also have two low torque thrust bearings located above and below the stem collar to
reduce friction during operation.
Waterway shall be smooth, unobstructed and free of all pockets, cavities and depressions in the
seat area.Valves 4" and larger shall accept a full size tapping cutter.
The body, bonnet, and o-ring plate shall be fusion-bond epoxy coated, both interior and exterior
Epoxy shall be applied in accordance with AWWA C-550 and be NSF 61
Each valve shall have maker’s name, pressure rating, and year in which it was manufactured
Prior to shipment from the factory, each valve shall be tested by hydrostatic
of AWWA C-515 (and ULFM where applicable).
