Manual Operated FC Type Gate Valve – 2-1/16" 5M (5,000 PSI)

The 2-1/16" 5M (5,000 PSI) Manual Operated FC Type Gate Valve is a highly dependable, industry-standard flow control asset engineered for severe-service upstream environments. Based on the proven "FC" style slab gate design, this high-integrity valve is an essential component for surface wellheads, Christmas trees, and high-pressure production manifolds. Designed to safely regulate and isolate fluid flow up to 5,000 PSI, it provides field personnel with reliable, bubble-tight shut-off capabilities in both directions.

The defining characteristic of the FC type gate valve is its single-piece, solid slab gate paired with floating seat assemblies. This configuration relies on internal line pressure to force the gate against the downstream seat, creating a highly effective, metal-to-metal seal that actually improves as internal pressure increases. Because it utilizes a true metal-to-metal sealing mechanism rather than relying solely on elastomers, this valve offers superior resistance to abrasive wellbore fluids, harsh chemicals, and extreme temperatures.

Operated via a heavy-duty manual handwheel, this valve features a non-rising stemIn-Line Maintenance architecture. This means the stem does not elevate out of the handwheel during operation, keeping the valve's footprint compact and protecting the stem threads from dirt, debris, and physical damage. Manufactured from premium forged alloy steel in strict accordance with API Specification 6A, it is built to endure the mechanical stress, vibration, and cyclical fatigue of standard oilfield production.

Features & Benefits

• Proven FC Slab Gate Design: Features a solid slab gate and floating seats to deliver consistent, bi-directional sealing and maximum flow-through efficiency.

• 5,000 PSI API 6A Rating: Engineered specifically to manage high-pressure upstream environments, safely handling a continuous 5,000 PSI (5M) working pressure.

• Metal-to-Metal Sealing: Gate-to-seat and seat-to-body seals are purely metal-to-metal, offering exceptional longevity and blowout resistance compared to elastomeric designs.

• Non-Rising Stem: The enclosed stem mechanism reduces the overall vertical footprint and shields critical operating threads from harsh environmental exposure.

• In-Line Maintenance: The heavy-duty bolted bonnet design allows the internal gate and seat assemblies to be quickly inspected or replaced while the valve body remains securely installed in the pipeline.

• Grease Injection Fittings: Equipped with external fittings on the bonnet and body to allow for safe, routine lubrication and the injection of emergency sealant.

Specifications & Technical Details

Applications

This 2-1/16" 5M manual FC gate valve is a critical flow control component for upstream surface arrays. Typical applications include serving as the primary master or wing valve on standard 5,000 PSI wellhead Christmas trees, regulating flow within choke and kill manifolds, isolating production lines, and acting as a dependable shut-off barrier in heavy-duty well testing configurations.

Quality Assurance

All our API 6A FC style gate valves are manufactured from premium forged steel and subjected to meticulous quality control and testing procedures. Each valve undergoes high-pressure hydrostatic shell and seat testing to guarantee absolute bubble-tight containment in both directions under maximum working loads. The valve bodies are subjected to rigorous non-destructive testing (NDT), including magnetic particle and ultrasonic inspections. Full material test reports (MTRs) and API compliance certifications are provided.
