Abstract

The present invention provides a gate valve assembly having a valve body with a channel extending from a distal end to a proximal end, a gate configured to be moved from a first position to a second position, the second position being when the gate is positioned in the channel of the valve body between the distal end and the proximal end of the valve body. A seat insert is also provided to be threaded into a pocked of the valve body and a seat is configured to be positioned within the seat insert. A seal is adapted within a groove of the seat insert positioned between the valve body and the seat insert, wherein the seal is a fixed static seal providing no gaps and/or spaces between the seal insert and the valve body allowing no debris to corrupt the seals.

Claims (21)

1 . A gate valve assembly comprising:

a valve body having a channel extending from a distal end to a proximal end;

a gate configured to be moved from a first position to a second position, the second position being when the gate is positioned in the channel of the valve body between the distal end and the proximal end of the valve body;

at least one seat insert configured to be threaded into a pocket of the valve body;

a seat configured to be positioned within the seat insert; and

a seal adapted within a groove of the seat insert positioned between the valve body and the seat insert,

wherein the seal is a fixed static seal providing no gaps and/or spaces between the seal insert and the valve body allowing no debris to corrupt the seals.

2 . A gate valve assembly comprising:

a valve body having a channel extending from a distal end to a proximal end;

a gate configured to be moved from a first position to a second position, the second position being when the gate is positioned in the channel of the valve body between the distal end and the proximal end of the valve body;

at least one seat insert configured to be threaded into a pocket of the valve body;

a seat configured to be positioned within the seat insert; and

a seal adapted within a groove of the seat insert positioned between the valve body and the seat insert,

wherein the seal is a fixed static seal providing no gaps and/or spaces between the seal insert and the valve body allowing no debris to corrupt the seals.

3 . A gate valve assembly comprising:

a valve body having a channel extending from a distal end to a proximal end;

a gate configured to be moved from a first position to a second position, the second position being when the gate is positioned in the channel of the valve body between the distal end and the proximal end of the valve body;

at least one seat insert configured to be press-fit into a pocket of the valve body;

a seat configured to be positioned within the seat insert; and

a seal adapted within a groove of the seat insert positioned between the valve body and the seat insert,

wherein the seal is a fixed static seal providing no gaps and/or spaces between the seal insert and the valve body allowing no debris to corrupt the seals.
