Mining is named among the industries for Asahi's 5-family metal-replacement set. Real angle: the Type P's no-metal-to-media construction plus the body-bottom clean-out plug is a direct answer to acidic leach solution attacking a metal gate valve's wetted surfaces, and ISO 5752 short pattern lets it drop into the existing flange spacing when the metal valve fails.

The body-bottom clean-out/drain plug is a direct answer to sediment or precipitate settling in a mining leach-solution gate valve — a valve without that drain feature accumulates solids in the body over repeated cycles.
Acidic leach solution is exactly the chemistry that attacks a metal gate valve's wetted surfaces — the Type P's no-metal-to-media construction plus ISO 5752 short pattern means it drops into the existing flange spacing when the metal valve it's replacing finally fails.

FAQ
Is Gate Valve used in Mining?
Mining is named among the industries for Asahi's 5-family metal-replacement set. Real angle: the Type P's no-metal-to-media construction plus the body-bottom clean-out plug is a direct answer to acidic leach solution attacking a metal gate valve's wetted surfaces, and ISO 5752 short pattern lets it drop into the existing flange spacing when the metal valve fails. This is moderate evidence.
