Medium-Duty Cast Iron Sluice Gates

Armtec’s medium-duty cast iron sluice gate is a high-quality, economic gate for a variety of low head applications including irrigation turnout structures, water and wastewater treatment plants, flood control and retention ponds, storm and sanitary sewers and pump stations.

The gate consists of a flat-back, cast iron seat, slide and crossbar, which is attached to a yoke. The yoke supports the lift system, forming a self-contained unit. Its flat back configuration makes it suitable for mounting to pipes, thimbles and concrete headwalls and manholes.
