problem with a section, the whole valve has to be scrapped, which is more
expensive than just replacing a single bad section of a sectional valve. Most sectional
valves are targeted for lower to medium flows and pressures, which helps keep
cost, weight, and size down but also limits the applications they can be used
in. A sectional
valve is the most cost-effective, compact, and lightweight option when it comes
