Racer Gate Valves
What are Racer Gate Valves?
Racer Gate Valves are heavy-duty isolation valves designed to offer a straight-line fluid flow with minimal restriction. Ideal for fully open or closed applications, these valves are widely used in industrial and utility systems. Manufactured under the Racer brand by Asiad Steel Industries, they provide high reliability, long service life, and zero leakage when properly installed.
Asiad Steel Industries is a leading supplier of Racer Gate Valves, delivering solutions tailored for high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.

Do you have questions?
Can Racer Gate Valves be used for throttling?
No. Gate valves are meant for full open/close operation and are not suitable for throttling as it can cause disc erosion.
Are Racer Gate Valves available with actuators?
Yes, we offer manual, electric, and pneumatic actuation options.
What’s the difference between WCB and CF8M material?
WCB is a carbon steel body, CF8M is stainless steel with improved corrosion resistance—ideal for aggressive media.
Are pressure test certificates provided?
Yes. Hydrostatic and air test reports are issued as per customer or API requirements.
