A gate valve is designed to provide unobstructed flow through a pipeline when fully opened, making it suitable for high-flow applications. The gate, typically a rectangular or wedge-shaped disc, slides between two seats when the valve is opened or closed. The addition of a drain port to this design allows for the controlled release of any accumulated fluid within the valve or pipeline. This is particularly beneficial in systems where sediment or debris may settle over time.
