These types of valves are generally preferred in pipelines carrying high-density or heavy fluids. The installation process requires care and technical knowledge, but it can be completed easily by following the correct steps. Proper valve selection directly affects the efficient operation of the system.   <\/p>\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Sayfa \u0130\u00e7eri\u011fi<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/unox.com.tr\/en\/knife-gate-valve-installation-how-to\/#Why_Is_Correct_Knife_Gate_Valve_Selection_Important\" >Why Is Correct Knife Gate Valve Selection Important?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/unox.com.tr\/en\/knife-gate-valve-installation-how-to\/#How_Are_Pre-Installation_Preparations_Carried_Out\" >How Are Pre-Installation Preparations Carried Out?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/unox.com.tr\/en\/knife-gate-valve-installation-how-to\/#In_Which_Direction_Should_a_Knife_Gate_Valve_Be_Installed\" >In Which Direction Should a Knife Gate Valve Be Installed?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/unox.com.tr\/en\/knife-gate-valve-installation-how-to\/#Why_Is_Bolt_Tightening_Sequence_Important\" >Why Is Bolt Tightening Sequence Important?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/unox.com.tr\/en\/knife-gate-valve-installation-how-to\/#Should_a_Leak_Test_Be_Performed_After_Installation\" >Should a Leak Test Be Performed After Installation?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/unox.com.tr\/en\/knife-gate-valve-installation-how-to\/#Why_Are_Periodic_Inspections_Necessary\" >Why Are Periodic Inspections Necessary?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dogru-bicakli-vana-secimi-neden-onemlidir\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_Correct_Knife_Gate_Valve_Selection_Important\"><\/span>Why Is Correct Knife Gate Valve Selection Important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Proper valve selection must be made before installation, as using an incorrect valve can put the entire system at risk. The product catalog on the official <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/unox.com.tr\/en\/\">UNOX website is very helpful in this regard<\/a>. Criteria such as material construction, diameter size, and actuation type should be taken into consideration. In addition, the pressure levels within the system must also be evaluated during the selection process.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-montaj-oncesi-hazirliklar-nasil-yapilir\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Are_Pre-Installation_Preparations_Carried_Out\"><\/span>How Are Pre-Installation Preparations Carried Out?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Before installation, the pipeline must be completely cleaned, as particles remaining inside the line may cause valve leakage. Flange connections should be inspected, and the gaskets should be prepared in advance. If necessary, detailed information can be obtained by contacting the <g id=\"gid_0\">UNOX Online technical support team<\/g>. Once the installation area is secured, the installation process can begin.    <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bicakli-vana-hangi-yonde-takilmalidir\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_Which_Direction_Should_a_Knife_Gate_Valve_Be_Installed\"><\/span>In Which Direction Should a Knife Gate Valve Be Installed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>During installation, the valve direction must be positioned correctly. The flow direction is indicated on the valve body, but some users tend to overlook this detail, which can lead to serious performance issues. For the correct orientation, the <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/unox.com.tr\/en\/\">UNOX product guide<\/a> can be reviewed. If the installation direction is incorrect, the valve cannot perform its function properly.    <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-civata-sikma-siralamasi-neden-onemlidir\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_Bolt_Tightening_Sequence_Important\"><\/span>Why Is Bolt Tightening Sequence Important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>During installation, bolts should be tightened in a crosswise sequence. Otherwise, gaps may form between the flanges, which negatively affects sealing performance. Tightening the bolts evenly extends the service life of the valve.

This test is used to check whether there are any leaks within the pipeline. Tests carried out with water or air are critical for safe operation. For more detailed test procedures, you can contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/unox.com.tr\/en\/knife-valves\/\">UNOX technical support team<\/a>.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-periyodik-kontroller-neden-gereklidir\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Are_Periodic_Inspections_Necessary\"><\/span>Why Are Periodic Inspections Necessary?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Knife gate valves should be inspected on a regular basis. Systems operating under high pressure require frequent inspections, yet many users tend to neglect this step. However, regular maintenance both improves performance and helps prevent failures.
