Valves & Actuation

This solid, proven design is well suited for a variety of chemical, industrial and irrigation applications. Spears Gate Valves are feature-packed with multiple end connector options. Individual special features are found in each size range 1/2” through 2”, 2-1/2” and 3”, and in the full-featured Heavy Industrial 4” valve. Spears computer-engineered, heavy-bodied PVC or CPVC construction adds extra strength with superior chemical and corrosion resistance. 1/2” through 2” sizes are rated for 200 psi @ 73°F, 2-1/2” and 3” sizes are rated for 150 psi @ 73°F and 4” heavy-duty industrial gate valve is rated for 235 psi @ 73°F.

Features
