S-6000 Cast Slide Gates
S-6000 Cast Slide Gates
Waterman Cast Sluice Gates are used in applications where safety and reliable performance are essential (dams, tidal environments, water treatment plants) and where outstanding product longevity is desired. Waterman cast gates are preferred for high-head and high debris environments as well as for critical gateways in treatment plants.
Key Features:
- Thick, highly rigid frame and cover designed to handle high heads and floating debris, fully tested with finite element analysis to meet or exceed design specifications while ensuring maximum reliability and minimal leakage.
- Proven design from one of the industry’s oldest manufacturers of cast iron sluice gates, with thousands of installations operating worldwide.
- Low-leakage machined metallic seating surfaces provide a tight, reliable seal. Corrosion-resistant seats are mechanically locked into full-width dovetail grooves, preventing leakage between seat material and castings.
- High-performance adjustable wedge system ensures reliable closure at the top, bottom, and sides while allowing easier maintenance. Bottom wedges are not required when using the Q-Seal Flushbottom Seal.
- Available in ductile iron, with additional material options offered upon request.
- Exceptional design flexibility with the industry’s largest selection of sizes and mounting configurations, including square and rectangular gates with square, rectangular, or round openings.
- Supports a full range of mounting options including submerged service, wall-mounted, flange-mounted, and other installation requirements.
