AWWA C563-14 Fabricated Composite Slide Gates (PDF)

This standard describes vertically mounted, fabricated, composite, resilient-seated slide gates with full-aperture closure, designed for either seating or unseating head, or both, in ordinary water supply and wastewater service. The gates are primarily used to shut off or throttle water and wastewater flow through a rectangular or round orifice, end of channel, or in-channel opening. They may be either of conventional-closure or flush-bottom closure type and may be opened either upward or downward.
