*Introduction to Gate Valves: Identifying Open/Closed Status from Afar*

Gate valves are essential components in various industries, including plumbing, oil and gas, and manufacturing. They are commonly used to control the flow of liquids or gases by raising or lowering a gate inside the valve body. One of the remarkable features of gate valves is their distinctive body shape, which allows for easy identification from a distance.

In this video, we explore gate valves based on shape and demonstrate how to identify their open or closed status without the need to approach them closely.
