Gate valves are designed to control the flow of water or other fluids through a pipeline. They operate using a gate mechanism that can either fully open to allow unrestricted flow or close entirely to stop it. Unlike other types of valves, such as globe valves or ball valves, gate valves are typically used for on/off control rather than throttling, making them ideal for situations where a complete shut-off is necessary. When the valve is turned, a wedge-shaped gate rises or lowers, effectively opening or closing the passage.
