As a type of automatic control valve, many customers are puzzled when to choose electric gate valves. How to choose. Let's all take a look at its selection criteria together.

Selection specifications for electric gate valves:

Usually, when choosing an electric gate valve, the diameter is relatively large. For example, DN250 or above. Why do you say that?

1: It is not recommended to manually operate large diameter gate valves whether they are used underground or on the ground, as it is really difficult to roll the handwheel if operated manually.

2: Due to the consideration of the overall cost-effectiveness advantage of valves, if you compare general manual gate valves with electric gate valves, you will find that the price difference between them will be significant. The price difference is only due to the electric actuator.

3: If the diameter is not very large, why choose an electric gate valve. That is because there is an automation requirement for gate valves on the engineering pipelines required by the unit in order to meet the specific needs of customers regarding working conditions. Electric operation is simple and user-friendly, without the need to manually open and close valves. It only requires the power switch to complete long-distance operation, which is convenient. However, the cost of electric actuators is relatively high, which many customers cannot accept.

Here, Yili Valve also introduces another convenient and increasingly cost-effective method to everyone. I suggest you use the Z541H umbrella gear gate valve. Compared to manual operation, using umbrella gear operation is much easier. Our frontline operators can roll alone, so even large diameters can be operated with umbrella gear.
