gate-valve

For shutting down the plant, a gate-valve is incorporated in the penstock above the turbine inlet, and another valve at the bottom of the forebay is needed to empty it for maintenance work and to flush out sediment.

This cylinder is set on its side, in concrete collars, directly over the pipe beneath, to which it is connected by a 12-in. tee, in which a 12-in. gate-valve is set.

As the differences of elevations are very great on the gravity sections of the line, and as any one valve might inadvertently become closed tight when other valves above would be open, the bursting of the pipe under such conditions is prevented either by a pressure relief valve attached to and immediately above the gate-valve, or by an open stand-pipe erected on some suitable elevation between the valves.

After the motor has been stopped and the slight amount of air partly compressed in the blower has leaked back into the system, and the whole system is momentarily at equal tension, a process occupying some 3 or 4 seconds, the gate-valve H is closed.
