US Series Stopgates
The US series stopgate is a high quality engineered to order product designed to suit heads no greater than the gate depth. They are suitable for water and wastewater applications where flow isolation or diversion is required by way of manually lifted operation.
The US series stopgate consists of a special channel section frame designed to withstand specified maximum on and off-seating pressures and operating forces. The frame section encapsulates the self-adjusting, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene side seals and a resilient neoprene flush invert seal. All seals are easily replaceable. The board is designed and suitably stiffened to withstand the specified pressures and can be segmented with intermediate neoprene seals to reduce lifting loads. The US series stopgate is fabricated using either marine grade aluminium (USAA), grade 316/316L stainless steel (USSS) or a combination of both (USSA) providing excellent corrosion resistance and lightweight operation. The self adjusting UHMWPE seals provide optimum sealing and a low co-efficient of sliding friction during board placement and removal.
The US series stopgate is designed for operation by hand being deployed and removed using lifting handles or lifting ladders for segmented gates. Lifting lugs for crane lift are supplied on larger gates. The stopgate frame is available in all mounting options including embedded, wall and side wall mounted.
For a complete stopgate solution, storage racks are also available. Storage racks provide a safe and effective way of storing and identifying multiple boards and reduces risk of hazard or loss associated with board handling and storage.
