Gate valves are available in two different stem types. There is the rising stem and a non-rising stem. A rising stem will physically rise when the valve handle is turned to the open position. This gives an easy indication of the valve position, but it’s not always feasible in close quarters. Our brass gate valves feature a non-rising stem. This means the handle stays at the same height in both the on and off positions. For applications that require a compact valve this is best.
