Frequently Asked Questions
What is the GKZF-1 grooved solenoid control gate valve used for?
The GKZF-1 is a ductile iron gate valve with an integrated solenoid pilot control, designed for automatic water flow control in municipal water supply and firefighting networks.
What sizes and pressure ratings are available for the GKZF-1?
The GKZF-1 covers DN50 to DN300 (2 inch to 12 inch) with a working pressure of 300 PSI (2.0 MPa). The body is ductile iron QT450 with a fully EPDM-encapsulated wedge.
What solenoid voltage options does the GKZF-1 support?
The solenoid pilot is available in AC220V or DC24V, allowing direct integration with building, municipal or firefighting control systems.
Why choose grooved connections for the GKZF-1?
Grooved ends enable fast, flexible and cost-saving installation compared with flanged joints. The valve is also available with flanged ends for projects that require them.
