What is a Bonneted Knife Gate Valve?

Standard knife gate valves often have an "open yoke" design where the gate is visible. A Bonneted KGV features a pressure-tight housing (the bonnet) that encloses the gate and the packing gland.  

Why the "Bonnet" Matters: 3 Key Reasons

For industries dealing with more than just basic water, the bonneted design is a strategic necessity

News 
  1. Zero Fugitive Emissions: In the Chemical and Pharmaceutical sectors, preventing the escape of toxic or hazardous vapors is mandatory.
  2. Handling High Pressures & Vacuums: In Pneumatic Conveying, maintaining a vacuum or high-pressure seal is difficult with standard packing. The bonneted design provides a robust enclosure that prevents air ingress or product leakage.  
  3. Protection from External Contaminants: In Steel Plants or Mining (Ash Handling) , external dust and grit can settle on an exposed gate, causing it to jam or score the seals. The bonnet keeps the internal mechanics pristine, drastically reducing maintenance intervals.
