3/4" Gate Valve Gray PVC Socket (VLV-GV-007-SK)

The 3/4" Gray PVC Gate Valve (VLV-GV-007-SK) is a full port, non-rising stem gate valve built for on/off isolation service in water, chemical, and industrial fluid systems at the 3/4" pipe size. Socket (slip) ends on both sides solvent cement directly onto 3/4" Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC pipe for a permanent, leak-free connection — no threading, flanges, or union adapters required.

The 3/4" size is one of the most frequently encountered pipe sizes in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and water treatment applications — appearing on well system pressure lines, irrigation zone headers, water treatment equipment connections, and countless branch and service line installations. A gate valve at this size gives installers a full port isolation option where a ball valve's quarter-turn action would be too abrupt, where gradual flow changes are needed to prevent water hammer, or where the absolute minimum flow restriction is a system requirement.

Unlike ball valves or butterfly valves, a gate valve lifts its internal wedge gate completely clear of the flow path when fully open — leaving a straight, unobstructed bore with zero turbulence, zero restriction, and virtually no measurable pressure drop across the valve. On 3/4" gravity-fed irrigation systems, low-pressure distribution lines, and pump suction piping where preserving every available PSI of system pressure matters, this full port performance is a meaningful operational advantage over valve types that partially obstruct the flow path even when open.

The gray PVC body provides excellent resistance to acids, bases, salts, chlorine, and a broad range of industrial chemicals — making the VLV-GV-007-SK the right choice wherever metal gate valves would corrode, leach contaminants, or fail prematurely in aggressive service environments. NSF 61 certification confirms safe contact with potable water, meeting the listed-material requirements for drinking water distribution, well systems, and water treatment infrastructure. The multi-turn handwheel allows slow, controlled opening and closing, and the non-rising stem design keeps the installed height compact — an important advantage in underground valve box installations and tight mechanical spaces where headroom is limited.

Key Features:

• Gray PVC body — lightweight, corrosion-proof, and chemically resistant

• Multi-turn handwheel for gradual, controlled flow isolation
• NSF 61 certified for potable water contact
• 150 PSI cold working pressure rating
• Resistant to acids, bases, salts, chlorine, and industrial chemicals

Industries & Applications:

• Residential & Commercial Well Systems — One of the most common applications for this size; used as primary isolation on 3/4" well pressure lines, pump discharge connections, and point-of-entry filter and treatment equipment where corrosion-resistant, lead-free, NSF-listed valves are preferred or required
• Irrigation & Agriculture — Full port design preserves system pressure on 3/4" zone headers, lateral supply lines, and drip irrigation mainlines; commonly installed in valve boxes for below-grade zone isolation on residential and light commercial irrigation systems
• Water Treatment & Distribution — NSF 61 listed for potable water contact; appropriate for isolation service on water treatment plant distribution headers, softener bypass lines, and service connections at the 3/4" size
• Pool & Spa Systems — PVC body resists chlorine, salt water, and pool treatment chemicals; used for equipment pad isolation, recirculation system service valves, and chemical feed line shut-off where corrosion resistance is essential
• Chemical Processing & Industrial Piping — Gray PVC resists a broad range of acids, bases, caustics, and industrial chemicals where brass or iron gate valves would corrode or contaminate process fluids; the full port design preserves flow efficiency on low-pressure chemical transfer lines
• Residential Plumbing & Mechanical Systems — Used on water heater supply lines, whole-house pre-filter inlets and outlets, and branch line isolation where a low-restriction, corrosion-proof valve is preferred over metal alternatives
• Aquaculture, Ponds & Water Features — Full port, low-restriction design and PVC chemical resistance make this valve a practical isolation and drain valve on pond recirculation systems, aquaculture grow-out tanks, and decorative water feature plumbing
