Waterman Industries specializes in water management gates, including sluice, slide, canal, and radial gates. The document details specifications for heavy-duty sluice gates (Series 7000, 5000, and 4000), medium and light-duty sluice gates, fabricated gates, and drainage gates, with specific model numbers and descriptions.
The Series 7000, 5000, and 4000 sluice gates meet AWWA Specifications C-501, used in municipal water works, flood control, and reservoirs. Features include corrosion-resistant materials, adjustable side wedges, and optional non-rising stem adaptors, available in square, rectangular, and circular shapes.
Frames are made of cast iron with integrated guide rails. The slide has reinforcing ribs and a machined guide tongue. Seating faces are corrosion-resistant and secured in dovetail grooves. The gates are designed for both seating and unseating heads, with top and bottom wedges used for unseating heads.
Proper handling and installation are crucial for optimal operation. Gates are inspected before shipment, and a hydrostatic test is available upon request. Detailed installation instructions are provided in the Waterman Heavy Duty Sluice Gate Installation Manual.
These gates are used where space or structural support is limited. They can be equipped with rising or non-rising stems and are available with hydraulic or motorized lifts.
Waterman offers two wedge systems: Type "B" and "B-1". Type "B-1" is used for gates up to 48" in width, while Type "B" is available for all heavy-duty gates. Both systems ensure optimal sealing and are easily adjustable.
The "Q-Seal" flushbottom seal is designed for smooth openings without obstructions, ideal for wastewater applications. The seal is neoprene and easily replaceable.
The document outlines specifications for heavy-duty sluice gates, including materials for frames, guide rails, and covers. Gates must meet AWWA C-501 standards and are designed with a minimum safety factor of five.
The document outlines the construction and specifications for heavy-duty sluice gates. The cover is a one-piece cast construction with reinforced features for durability and functionality. It includes machined tongues for proper engagement with guide rail grooves and a thrust nut for attaching the slide to the stem. Seating faces are made from corrosion-resistant materials and machined to a high finish.
Wedges are made from solid corrosion-resistant materials, designed for watertightness, and are fully adjustable. Fasteners and adjustment screws are also corrosion-resistant.
These gates feature a heavy yoke mounted on guide rails, with specific designs for rising and non-rising stems. The operation involves a T-handle wrench or floor stand.
These gates include a resilient seal attached to the frame, supported by a cast iron bracket. The cover is designed to depress the seal, with adjustable sealing pressure.
Wall thimbles are cast iron with integrally cast water stops. They are machined for proper alignment and include grout holes for air escape. Anchor bolts are corrosion-resistant.
Stems are made from durable materials to withstand stress without distortion. They are joined by strong couplings and include adjustable limit nuts for rising stems.
These are adjustable and designed to maintain stem alignment while allowing easy operation. They are mounted on cast brackets.
Lifts are operated by handwheel or crank, with specific gear reductions for ease of use. The mechanism is enclosed and includes position indicators.
Non-contact parts are painted according to specified standards, except those in contact with concrete.
Gates and hoists are shop-tested for proper assembly and operation, with adjustments made to meet leakage standards.
Gates are stored and installed per manufacturer instructions, with operational tests conducted post-installation.
Materials vary based on operating conditions, with options including cast iron, stainless steel, and bronze. ASTM standards are referenced for material quality.
This model offers a leakage rate significantly better than standard, designed for heads up to 25 feet. It features a tapered seat for reduced wear and enhanced performance.
The thrust nut is used to attach the slide to the stem. For rising stems, it should be threaded and equipped with keys or set screws to prevent rotation. Non-rising stems should rotate freely in the thrust nut to operate the slides.
Seats must be made of resilient, abrasion, and corrosion-resistant material, permanently attached to both the frame and the cover.
Wedges and wedge blocks should be made of solid corrosion-resistant material, ensuring watertightness. They must be adjustable and remain fixed once set. All fasteners and adjustment screws should be corrosion-resistant.
Shop Testing: The gate should be adjusted to ensure no clearance between frame and cover seating surfaces.
Field Testing: Follow AWWA C-501-80, Sec. 6.3, with specific leakage requirements.
Refer to pages 10 and 11 for additional specifications on wall thimbles, anchor bolts, stem guides, painting, and more.
The document lists various parts of the sluice gates, including frames, covers, thrust nuts, and wedges, along with detailed dimensions for different gate sizes.
