water shut off gate valve

There are a few things you should take into account whether you want to replace a gate valve or are just learning to maintain and repair your water shut off gate valve. Water shutoff valves come in a variety of designs, including Straight and Shark Bit shutoff valves, as well as Ball, Globe, and Wedge gate valves.

Globe valve

Globe valves frequently experience pressure loss, depending on the valve's design. Usually, the pressure drop is much higher than with a traditional shut-off valve.


The flow direction, velocity, and friction factor all affect pressure loss. When it comes to globe valves, the turbulence brought on by changes in flow direction accounts for a significant portion of the pressure loss.


Great throttling valves are regarded as globe valves. This occurs as a result of the media having to change its direction inside the valve. Compared to gate valves, they also produce less leakage.


Globe valves have a sizable, spherical body with an internal baffle that is horizontal. This creates a secure seal. They work best in applications requiring significant pressure changes and isolation. They are also effective for throttling media when it is partially open.

Shark Bit

It makes sense to use the Shark Bit to attach a 1" ball valve to your water supply. The simplest and quickest way to guarantee that your water flow is as unrestricted and abundant as possible is to do this. It can even be used by people who aren't plumbers. Depending on the pipe you select, the installation time for the Shark Bit is around 10 minutes.


A ball valve can be connected to your water supply using the Shark Bit without the hassle of soldering or welding. Even without glue, it can be made to work. Disassembling the fittings is simple.


If you want to join a 3/4" copper pipe to a 1" ball valve, the Shark Bit is a good option. To complete the task, the appropriate tube cutting tools are required.
