Wedging Titeseal, the Tightest Sealing Slide Gate Available on the Market.
The Wedging Titeseal® Slide Gate is commonly used as an emergency shutoff gate. Developed and patented by John Vitas at Plasti-Fab, it is the tightest sealing slide gate available on the market today. The Wedging Titeseal® design is capable of reaching extremely low leakage rates: less than 100 cc/min/foot of wetted perimeter. This is 4 to 5 times lower leakage than permitted by AWWA C-501, and applies to both seating and unseating heads. In actual practice, the Wedging Titeseal Gates have been adjusted to the point of being nearly drip-tite. To avoid spillover, the size and placement of the gate must accomodate the highest expected containment level.
