Guarantee
Elite Valve warranties its products against manufacturing defects, and failure as a result
of manufacturing defects, for a period of one year from the date of purchase unless
otherwise specified on the original Sales Order Acknowledgement.
This warranty is limited to the performance of the valve and valve components where
assembled by Elite Valve. The company will repair, replace or refund the purchaser for
those components at its discretion provided that no modifications or alternations have
been made to these components. Furthermore, this warranty is limited to the
components in question and will not cover any other damages, either directly or
indirectly caused by the failure of said components.
Elite Valve’s warranty is void where any modifications have been made to the product or
product’s components, and thereby releases Elite Valve, its agents, and employees from
all obligations.
Disclaimer
Elite Valve reserves the right to incorporate the latest design and material changes
without notice or obligation. Design features and materials of construction as described
in this manual are for informational purposes only. Certified engineering drawings are

Description
Elite Valve’s knife gate valves can be made from almost any metal, but their typical
constructions are with stainless steel components. Elite Valve’s model E5600 knife gate
is available in sizes 3” to 48".
The E5600 knife gate valve features a split body design with a captured, removable and
replaceable perimeter seat. It is ideal for abrasive applications where the seat surface is
expected to wear quickly. Replacement becomes an economical means of maintaining
the valve and minimizing your process downtime. A guideline for replacing your seat can
be found later in this manual.
Injectable horizontal transverse seals and scrapers act to wipe process fluid, while
providing a liquid-tight seal against the gate. The full port design permits maximum flow,
while supporting the gate along the edges through the entire travel length. The
contoured seat design provides a flushing action during closing, eliminating solids build-
up while also providing metal-to-metal seating.
