Blaze Expanding Gate Valve | 2-9/16" | 5M | WKM-Type | 2-7/8" 8RD EUE
The Blaze Expanding Gate Valve, 2-9/16", 5,000 PSI (5M), WKM-Type with 2-7/8" 8RD EUE threaded ends, is designed for reliable mechanical shutoff in production and surface flowline operations. Its expanding gate mechanism applies positive mechanical force against both upstream and downstream seats, enabling dependable sealing even when line pressure is low — a key advantage in production and surface systems.
Built from forged alloy steel and produced to PSL-2 quality levels, this valve provides consistent performance, enhanced material control, and traceability for field operations. The DD trim option supports standard service applications, including hydrocarbons, water, CO₂, and other non-sour fluids. Threaded 2-7/8" 8RD EUE ends make this valve a practical choice for flowlines, surface piping, and production facilities that rely on threaded connections for quick installation and maintenance.
The manual handwheel (HW) configuration offers controlled and direct actuation, while the expanding gate design provides stable sealing performance across frequent cycles. With rugged construction and service-friendly access, the Blaze 2-9/16" 5M Expanding Gate Valve is a dependable solution for moderate-pressure upstream environments.
