17 Jan Product Showcase: What is the 500 Series Stop Gates?
Whipps, Inc.’s 500 Series Stop Gates Breakdown
The 500 Series feature various stop gates designed to maintain precision when managing water levels throughout facilities. Stop gates consist of slides designed to be lifted manually and a metal frame utilizing UHMW seals to ensure flush closure. When installed, the stop gate will not deflect more than 1/360 of its width and stress resilient up to 7600 psi. Whipps, Inc.’s 500 Series Stop Gates exemplify the reliability, longevity, and high performance that customers have come to expect from our equipment.
Aluminum Stop Gates
The Model 501 and Model 503 Stop Gates are aluminum slide gates equipped with UHMW seals, ideal for stopping water flow in low pressure conditions. Crafted from lightweight material, these aluminum slide gates allow for manual insertion and removal with ease. Additionally, we offer custom-engineered solutions tailored to fit across large openings and around corners as an example or Whipps, Inc.’s flexibility in custom water control solutions.
Stainless Steel Stop Gates
For installations requiring greater strength, we recommend our Model 523 Stainless Steel Stop Gates or Model 521 Embedded Stop Gates. These models are built to handle higher pressures than their aluminum counterparts. This is possible without sacrificing manual maneuverability. The lightweight construction is perfect for applications where installation or removal is infrequent, for example, flood control situations in emergencies. Handling the stainless steel slides remains easy and efficient for personnel.
High Head Conditions
For projects that demand solutions capable of withstanding high head conditions, Whipps, Inc. offers the Model 519 and Model 529 Bulkhead Gates. These gates are an innovative blend of stop log and stop gate designs, tailored to cover large openings under substantial pressure. The Model 519 features an extruded aluminum slide (Alloy 6061-T6) capable of enduring bending stresses up to 7,600 psi. Meanwhile, the Model 529 is crafted from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, equipped with resilient lip-type seals to ensure a watertight fit, even in demanding conditions.
