CAST IRON SLUICE / SLIDE GATES Waterman Cast Sluice Gates are used in applications where safety and reliable performance are essential (dams, tidal environments, water treatment plants) and where outstanding product longevity is desired. Waterman cast gates are preferred for high-head (up to 200') and high debris environments as well as for critical gateways in treatment plants. Key Features: • Thick, highly rigid frame and cover to handle high heads and environments with floating debris. Cover and frame design fully tested to meet or exceed design specifications with finite element analysis....

Gate Designs Available: Most gate sizes are available as self-contained gates where the operating device is mounted on the top yoke of the gate. Operating loads are carried by the gate frame. The thrust required to open the gate is transmitted by the yoke and guides to the gate frame, unlike non-self-contained gates where these loads are carried by the structure above the gate where the floor stand is mounted. The self-contained design is used where the space above the gate is minimal and/or where structural supports limit the option of using a separate floor stand. SELF CONTAINED SELF CONTAINED...

Special Options: Q-Seal™ Flushbottom Seal is available for applications where a full, continuous opening area without obstructions to impede solids is desirable. Typical applications include wastewater settling tanks, aeration tanks, sedimentation and flocculation basis. The flushbottom closure features a continouous neoprene seal contained in the invert of the frame, providing a flat plane across the bottom of the gate without projections into the opening. The seal is firmly supported on three sides, exposing only the flat top side, minimizing the chance for damage. When a flushbottom seal is...
