SERIES 15 STANDARD FLOW CONTROL SLIDE GATES / PENSTOCKS

General description

Fontaine’s SERIES 15 (see FIG 1) is a highly STANDARD versatile flow control slide gate. Adaptable to different applications, the SERIES 15 is designed to withstand maximum heads both upstream and downstream with the following performance:

• 30’ (9.0m) for 6” to 12” (150mm to 300mm): 0.04 USGPM/ft1 (0.5L/min) 2

• 25’ (7.5m) for 16” to 24” (400mm to 600mm): 0.05 USGPM/ft • (0.6 L/min) • 20’ (6.0m) for 28” to 40” (700mm to 1000mm): 0.06 USGPM/ft

(0.7L/min) The leakage rate is maintained inside boundaries of maximum allowable leakage recommended by AWWA C561 and BS7775 (2005). The SERIES 15 is available in eleven standard sizes from 6” up to 40” (150 mm up to 1000 mm). The design is suitable for square or round applications. The SERIES 15 is made of 316L stainless steel providing high corrosion and erosion resistance, and can be operated for many years with a minimum of maintenance. Stainless steel provides virtually limitless design flexibility. The result is a lighter weight and easier-to-install gate. In accordance with our high standards of quality, the slide gates are completely factory assembled as well as tested for operation and leakage before being shipped. It eliminates the needs for any on-site assembly and adjustments. The SERIES 15 is designed for concrete wall (CW). AWWA

SERIES 15 slide gates are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed the AWWA C561and the main European standards for leakage, design safety factors, stem guide positioning, and buckling on lifting mechanisms. Leakage and operation tests are performed on all Fontaine SERIES 15 before shipping. SERIES 15 seals are made of an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) allowing no metal-to-metal contact. Its low coefficient of friction makes the gate easier to open even when not operated for long periods of time. The self-adjusting feature is obtained by a continuous compression cord that ensures a tight seal between the gate and the frame in both seating and unseating conditions. This system guarantees a perfect seal between the gate and the frame for water pressure conditions upstream or downstream. The continuous wedging action of the compression cord on the slide seals enables the SERIES 15 slide gates to control flow by allowing water only through the open portion of the gate. The neoprene seal on the bottom is a flat type and does not obstruct water flow. 1 Leakage rate per U.S. gallon per minute per foot of seal of perimeter 2 Leakage rate per liter per minute per meter of seal of perimeter

The stainless steel frame on the SERIES 15 is a flange back type (see FIG 2) available in open or self- contained configurations, providing a solid one-piece slide gate. Welded in a single piece, the rigidity provided by the flange back frame makes it easier to handle in transportation and installation with less risk of distortion. The seal bolts are completely separated from the flange anchoring. This feature also allows the slide gate to be completely factory assembled before being shipped. It also eliminates any on-site assembly and adjustments. The gate is a stainless steel plate reinforced with members welded to the plate, making it a solid single piece.
