APC Valves, a leading manufacturer and exporter of gate valves, recently launched outside screw and yoke (OS&Y) gate valves for meeting municipal and industrial water plant needs. The outside screw and yoke valves, commonly referred as OS&Y gate valve, is a type of gate valve that the company has launched to increase its annual export volume.
An APC executive has said that the screw nut is propped up by a yoke which is outside the valve body, the valve wheel is joined to the nut and the nut makes the shaft rise or turn down, which is designed to help in opening and closing of the valve.
“We launched the OS&Y gate valves as our market experts predicted a steep growth in demand for gate valves of all sorts in Asia and Europe this year. We have already active partnerships with various dealers and retailers in North America and Europe and we believe that the OS&Y valves would boost our sales in the coming financial quarter”, added the executive.
