The differences between the rising stem and the descending stem types of gate valves

The core difference between rising stem gate valves and non-rising stem gate valves lies in whether the stem is exposed. In a rising stem gate valve, the stem is fully visible and moves up and down with the opening and closing operation, providing clear visual indication of the status. In a non-rising stem gate valve, the stem is concealed within the valve body, rotating without linear movement, thus saving space.metal seat gate valve-11

Rising Stem Gate Valve:

  • The stem is exposed and equipped with a yoke.

  • The stem and handwheel engage via threads to drive the gate vertically up and down. The open/closed status can be directly observed.

Non-Rising Stem Gate Valve:

  • The stem is hidden, and there is no external yoke.

  • The threaded end of the stem is fixed to the gate. When rotated, it moves the gate up or down while the stem itself only rotates.

Rising Stem Gate Valve:

  • The degree of opening/closing is visually intuitive, and maintenance is easier. However, the exposed stem is prone to corrosion and requires more installation space.

Non-Rising Stem Gate Valve:

  • The stem is protected, offering better corrosion resistance. However, an indicator is needed to determine the valve status, and maintenance is more challenging.f4 resilient gate valve-11
