Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Type P Gate Valve pressure by size | 150 psi @ 70°F (1-1/2"-8"); 110 psi (10"); 75 psi (12"-14") — three distinct pressure tiers | Asahi/America — Thermoplastic Valves: Direct Replacement for Metal Valves |
| Type P Gate Valve construction | High Impact PVC body, sliding cylindrical (tapered) plug design, no metal-to-media contact, full vacuum service rated | Asahi/America — Thermoplastic Valves: Direct Replacement for Metal Valves |
| Series 19 MAV pairing | Series 19 MAV MultiPack (1/2"-4") pairs with diaphragm AND gate valves — the only Series 19 sub-model rated for multi-turn valves | Asahi/America — General Catalog (Valves, Actuators, Piping Systems, Welding Equipment) |
The three size-dependent pressure tiers are the real quoting trap on this valve: a 12" Type P is rated to half the pressure of a 4" — using the smaller size's 150 psi rating against a 12" line is a real oversight risk.
Gate valves are multi-turn, so the quarter-turn CAV/SAV actuators in Asahi's own lineup don't fit — MAV is the only Series 19 sub-model rated for multi-turn service, which is a real compatibility check that has to happen before an automated gate valve quote goes out, not after.
