Model T5 API 6A Gate Valve 3,000/5,000 PSI
Model T5 API 6A gate valves have been developed as on-off valves to cover a wide range of applications in oil and gas services up to a maximum operating pressure of 5,000 PSI.
They are manufactured with flanged and threaded ends in sizes from 2-1/16" up to 7-1/16", meeting the requirements of materials per API 6A classes AA to FF, and in PSL 1 to 3G specification levels, and performance requirement level PR2.
Their simple and robust design provides service with the following features:

Their simple and robust design provides service with the following features:
Metal to Metal Seal:
Metal-metal seal between gate and seat.
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.
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.
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 excessive torque by a stem shear pin. The pin can be readily replaced without disassembling the valve bonnet.
Replaceable Seats:
The floating seats can be easily replaced in the field.
Valves with Actuator:
Model T5 API 6A gate valves can be converted into safety valves by adding pneumatic or hydraulic actuators.
