When would a gate valve be preferred to a ball valve?
Gate Valve is * Well sealed * Causes a low pressure drop * Don`t Cause hammering * serve Wide size Range * Wide range of temperature * Wide range of temperature Ball Valve is * Limited in usage for Temperature cautions * Needs a big Operating Torque for big Sizes

Hot water baseboard heating system?
Hot water heating systems must be free of air to operate properly. The art of purging air from one of these systems comes with experience. There are usually purge setups in the piping, if the system was installed properly. The purge setup will consist of one ball valve or gate valve and one boiler drain somewhere in the loop or zone. There should be a half inch copper line connected to the water in the house that's used to fill the boiler and to purge air. This line will have an auto feeder valve somewhere between the tie into the water lines and the boiler. There is a lever on top of the auto feed valve. This lever is to override the automatic setting that keeps the boiler at the right pressure. When lifted up the lever allows city water pressure to be fed into the boiler. When the lever is down the setting will be somewhere between 12 and 25 pounds. This safeguards the system in case of a leak somewhere. Water will be added automatically. The way we purge the system is by hooking a hose to the boiler drain in the purge setup. Close the ball or gate valve and feed water through the system and out the boiler drain. The ball valve is to make sure the water we're putting in goes through the entire system before exiting. After the hose is hooked up and opened and the ball valve is closed, lift the lever on the automatic feeder and force city water into the boiler, around the loop your purging and out the hose. Be sure to watch the pressure gauge on the boiler and never exceed twenty five pounds. You will set off the pressure relief valve at 30 pounds. This is why the hose must be opened before the lever is lifted on the auto feeder. Put the hose end into a five gallon bucket and watch for air bubbles. Once the air bubbles have subsided, allow the system to purge for a few more minutes. Close the lever on the auto feeder and then the boiler drain. Open the ball valve and you're done.
Is there a way to party view videos like on the Xbox?
Well, what you have to do is buy a cord that is exactly 12 centre meters long and is green with black spots. Then you plug it into the front of the console and then go out and by a disco ball about the size of a soccer ball. Attach the other end of the cord to the disco ball and the disco ball will work. Then insert Robby Williams and you have one party console. :)
Difference between butterfly valve and gate valve?
Butterfly valve refers to a kind of valve whose closing part (butterfly plate) is a disc, which rotates around the valve shaft to achieve opening and closing. It mainly plays a role of cutting off and throttling on the pipeline. The butterfly valve opening and closing part is a disc-shaped butterfly plate, which rotates around its own axis in the valve body to achieve the purpose of opening and closing or adjustment. The butterfly valve is usually 90° from fully open to fully closed. The butterfly valve is simple in structure, small in size and light in weight, and consists of only a few parts. Moreover, it can be opened and closed quickly by rotating 90°, and the operation is simple. The opening and closing part of the gate valve is a gate. The movement direction of the gate is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid. The gate valve can only be fully opened and fully closed, and cannot be adjusted or throttled. The gate has two sealing surfaces. The advantages of the gate valve: small fluid resistance, less effort to open and close, no restriction on the flow of the medium, no turbulence, no pressure reduction
