AWWA C515 Gate Valve

An AWWA C515 gate valve is a full-bore, resilient-seated linear isolation valve manufactured in strict compliance with the American Water Works Association (AWWA) C515 standard for reduced wall thickness ductile iron valves. It utilizes a wedge-shaped gate fully encapsulated in high-grade EPDM or NBR rubber that compresses against a groove-free, flat-bottom valve body, creating a bubble-tight seal that allows fine sediment to pass without trapping impurities. Cast from high-strength ductile iron, it provides equivalent pressure ratings to older C509 designs but with a lighter, compact profile that minimizes installation fatigue and shipping costs. Municipal water utility distributors and civil infrastructure contractors can eliminate pipeline sediment build-up and secure zero-leakage water lines by importing certified AWWA C515 gate valves directly from premier manufacturers in China via our advanced B2B digital marketplace.
