Gate Valves: Rising Stem Gate Valves (OS&Y)
Heavy-Duty Rising Stem Gate Valves for Water Supply, Utility, and Industrial Piping Networks
Product Overview
Rising Stem Gate Valves (OS&Y) deliver reliable fluid isolation and minimal flow resistance across pipeline networks. The external threaded stem rises alongside the gate during operation, providing immediate visual verification of valve position. When fully open, the gate lifts completely clear of the flow path to preserve system pressure and flow capacity. Engineered for durability and zero leakage, our rising stem gate valve range serves municipal water supply, industrial processing, and infrastructure projects worldwide.
Key Features of Rising Stem Gate Valves
Visual Position Verification
The rising stem provides quick, visible confirmation of valve status from a distance.
01
Full-Bore Flow Efficiency
Straight-through passage eliminates internal obstruction, maintaining full flow capacity with minimal pressure drop.
02
Bi-Directional Sealing
Available with resilient or metal seats to ensure reliable shut-off in either flow direction.
03
Isolated Stem Threads
External stem threads stay clear of internal media, preventing corrosion and extending service life.
04
Standardized Actuation
Built with universal mounting flanges for easy fitting of handwheels, bevel gearboxes, or electric actuators.

Resilient Seated (Soft Seal)
Fully encapsulated EPDM or NBR wedges deliver zero-leakage sealing and smooth flow, designed specifically for clean water, wastewater, and irrigation systems.
Metal Seated (Hard Seal)
Precision-ground stainless steel or Stellite surfaces endure higher temperatures, abrasive particles, and harsh industrial media.
Flanged Connection
Standardized flange dimensions ensure rigid alignment, leak-tight installation, and straightforward inline maintenance.
Gearbox Driven
Heavy-duty bevel gear operators reduce manual operating torque on large-diameter valves or high-differential-pressure lines.
Electric Actuated
Direct-mount electric actuators enable remote control and system integration into automated plants and SCADA networks.
A Rising Stem Gate Valve uses a threaded stem attached to a wedge gate. Rotating the handwheel turns the stem nut, raising or lowering the stem and gate along internal body guides.
Opening the valve lifts the gate completely clear of the flow passage. Closing it drives the wedge down against the body seats to form a tight seal. Because the gate moves perpendicular to the fluid flow, gate valves are designed for full-open or full-closed isolation rather than flow throttling.

pApplications of Rising Stem Gate Valves
Municipal Water Networks: Provides line isolation across water distribution mains, pump stations, and treatment plants.
Wastewater Treatment: Handles treated effluent, sludges, and utility isolation with easy-to-maintain components.
Industrial Piping: Manages cooling water, utility lines, and process fluids in chemical and power facilities.
HVAC Systems: Regulates primary chilled water and heating loops in large building infrastructure.
Agricultural Irrigation: Controls bulk water transfer through supply channels and pump manifolds.
Fire Protection: Serves as trusted shut-off valves in deluge systems and main fire-water lines.
How to Choose
Size & Flow Rate
Match the exact DN or NPS pipe size to prevent fluid velocity loss.
Pressure Rating
Verify system design pressures against corresponding PN or Class ratings.
Working Medium
Match body and seal materials to the fluid's chemical composition and slurry content.
Temperature Range
Select resilient elastomer seals or metallic trim based on operational limits.
Connection Standard
Confirm flange drilling patterns (DIN, ANSI, BS, JIS) before ordering.
Operating Method
Choose manual handwheel, gear operator, or electric drive based on line torque and accessibility.
Compliance
Ensure design, face-to-face dimensions, and pressure tests align with local project codes.
Supply Planning
Provide project volumes and delivery locations to optimize lead times and freight routing.

Select from proven industrial body materials tailored to your piping media:
Ductile / Cast Iron: Cost-effective solutions for water supply and municipal systems.
Carbon Steel (WCB): High-strength construction for medium-to-high pressure industrial service.
Stainless Steel (CF8/CF8M): Corrosion-resistant alloys for demanding chemicals and pure fluids.
Engineering & Supply Capabilities
Complete Flow Control Range: Supply spans gate, butterfly, globe, check, ball, and balance valves, alongside expansion joints and repair clamps.
Engineering Review: Technical team reviews project drawings, valve data sheets, and tender requirements for exact mechanical compatibility.
Quality Assurance: Every batch includes Mill Test Certificates (MTC), hydrostatic shell/seat test reports, and coating inspection data.
OEM Customization: Private labeling, custom valve colors, private nameplates, and custom actuation packaging available.
Seaworthy Packaging: Sturdy wooden crates, moisture barrier packaging, and flange protectors protect shipments during transit.
