Model T10 API 6A Gate Valve 10,000 PSI
Model T10 API 6A gate valves are shutoff valves developed to meet a wide range of applications in oil and gas services up to 10,000 PSI operating pressure.
They are manufactured with flanged ends from 2-1/16" up to 7-1/16", meeting the requirements of materials per API 6A classes AA to FF, and in PSL 2 to 4 specification levels.
Their simple and robust design provides a long lasting and reliable service with minimal maintenance.

Metal to Metal Seal:
Metal-metal seal between gate and seat and between seat and body.
Bidirectional Sealing:
The gate and the seats seal in both directions. The gate and the seats can be reversed for increased life of the valve.
Back-Seating:
The stem is designed to make a metal-metal back-seat in the bonnet, which allows the stem packing to be replaced while the valve is in service.
Stem Packing:
The non-elastomeric stem packing is unaffected by H2S, CO2, amines or any other chemical substances commonly found in oil or gas wells. Its design favors low operating torque under any service condition.
Easy Operation:
The valve opens and closes without needing excessive torque. After the necessary number of turns required for closing the valve, the handwheel must be backed off ¼ turn. The valve is then fully closed.
Body without Penetrations:
The valve body has no penetrations. For safety, the grease fitting is located on the bonnet, downstream from the backseat.
Stem Shear Pin:
The stem is protected against over-torquing by a stem shear pin. The pin can readily be replaced without disassembling the bonnet.
Replaceable Seats:
The floating seats can be readily replaced in the field.
Seat Protector:
A protecting ring between seat and body protects the lip of the metal-metal seal.
Valves with Actuator:
Model T10 API 6A gate valves can be converted into safety valves by adding pneumatic or hydraulic actuators.
