Unidirectional Knife Gate Valve

Series 943/953

Metal-to-Metal and Resilient Seats for Zero Leakage and Durability

KGV 943 953 KGV 943 953 -2

Replaceable Deflection Cone for Extended Valve Lifespan

Advanced Sealing Solutions for Abrasive and Corrosive Media

Bray’s Series 943 Knife Gate Valve features a full lug design, and the Bray’s Series 953 Knife Gate Valve features a semi-lug, single piece cast body available in CF8, CF8M, CF3M and SS2507 for demanding applications. The semi-lug Series 953 Knife Gate Valve is engineered to reduce the weight of a full lugged body and provides a cost-effective solution with the same reliability and high performance of the Series 943 full lug design. The standard metal-to-metal seating with optional unique self-locking PTFE seat or soft seat is engineered for high performance unidirectional sealing for general purpose on/off service and isolation of clean, dirty, corrosive, abrasive, viscous, and high temperature media. Designed for maximum performance, options for both the Series 943 Knife Gate Valves and Series 953 Knife Gate Valves include replaceable deflection cone and zero leakage resilient seats.
