I.C. Gate Valve Screw End

An inside screw gate valve has the stem thread inside the valve body, meaning the stem does not rise above the handwheel when the valve opens. This provides a more compact design but hides the stem condition from external inspection. They are used for water, steam, and oil service where the valve is not expected to need frequent inspection.

Screwed end gate valves are used in smaller pipe sizes (typically DN15-DN80) for isolation duties where the valve needs to be removed for maintenance. They are common in utility piping, HVAC systems, and instrument air lines. For larger sizes or higher pressures, flanged connections are preferred for easier maintenance.
