Brass Gate Valve, Female NPT x Female NPT, Full Port\u003c\/strong\u003e is a full-port brass gate valve in female NPT × female NPT thread configuration. Gate valves use a multi-turn wedge mechanism to open or close the flow path — they are designed for infrequent, fully-open or fully-closed isolation duty in water mains, building supply lines, irrigation systems, and HVAC applications.

Ball valves are preferred for frequent on\/off operation. Gate valves excel in permanently-open isolation positions that are rarely actuated.
