SS-250 SERIESSTAINLESS STEELSLIDE GATE• THE BEST OF TECHNOLOGY FOR STRENGTH ANDLONGEVITY IN CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERES• 304 OR 316 STAINLESS STEEL WITH UHMWPLASTIC SLIDING AND SEATING SURFACES• LEAKAGE IS GUARANTEED TO NO MORE THAN 0.05GPM/FT OF SEAL PERIMETER, WHICH IS ½ THATALLOWED BY AWWA STANDARDSADVANTAGES AND PERFORMANCE Corrosion Resistant Optimum Sealing Against Leakage Rugged Heavy Duty Design Low MaintenanceSS-250 Series Slide Gates are engineered for excellent sealing whileproviding maximum resistance to corrosion. Ultra High MolecularWeight Polyethylene (UHMW) sliding and seating surfaces, dissimilarfrom the gate slide material, provides low coefficient of friction whilemaintaining the superior resistance to corrosion. SS-250 Series gatesmay be specified with optional type 316L stainless steel for use inunusually corrosive environments such as hydrogen sulfides or saltwater.SS-251-1(shown)SS-250 Series Slide Gates are designed to maintain leakage at½ that allowed by AWWA. SS-250 gates are available innormal aperture configurations, channel (embedded or bolted)as well as weirs (downward opening). They may also beordered as self-contained gates or with extension stems andseparate operators. SS-250 Gates are custom designed tomeet seating and unseating heads per application,incorporating safety factors per AWWA standards.SS-250 Gates can also be designed to incorporate integral withthe frame. SS-250 Gate frames may be embedded in channelwalls, mounted to a wall with anchor bolts, mounted to pipeflange, or wall thimble (Waterman offers a complete line of wallthimbles, including “F”, “E”, Spigot-Style, as well as customthimbles).Also available: A-250 Series Aluminum Slide Gates.TYPE OFGATE(OPENING)RISINGSTEMMACHINEDFLANGECIRCULARFLANGEFULLYCONTAINEDSLIDE INGUIDE RAILSELF-CONTAINEDGATESS-250 STAINLESS STEEL SLIDE GATE CONFIGURATIONSAPERTURE END OF CHANNEL IN CHANNELSTANDARD DOWNWARDOPENINGDOWNWARDUPWARDOPENINGOPENING(WEIR)NonRestrictedFlowEMBEDDEDGUIDEWALLMTD.GUIDE251 252 253 254 255 256 257251-F 252-F251-CF252-CF251-L 252-L 253-L 254-L 255-L 256-L 257-L251-Y 252-Y 253-Y 254-Y 255-Y 256-Y 257-YNRS Cover 251-N 252-N 253-N 254-N 255-N 256-N 257-NSPECIAL ORMODIFIEDAPPLICATION251-X 252-X 253-X 254-X 255-X 256-X 257-X3

Submittals shall be in accordance with Sections ______ and as specified herein.Submittals shall include as a minimum:1. Shop Drawings2. Manufacturer’s operation and maintenance manuals and information.3. Manufacturer’s installation certificate.4. Manufacturer’s equipment warranty.5. Manufacturer’s performance affidavit in accordance with Section _____.1.03 QUALITY ASSURANCEA. Qualifications1. All of the equipment specified under this Section shall be furnished by a singlemanufacturer with a minimum of 20-years of experience designing andmanufacturing slide gates. The manufacturer shall have manufactured stainlesssteel slide gates for the type described herein for a minimum of 100 projects.2. The project design is based on the Waterman SS-250 Series Fabricated Slide Gate asmanufactured by Waterman Industries of Exeter, California. Proposed alternatesmust be pre-approved, per addendum, at least 14-days prior to close of bid.Requests for alternates must be supplemented with detailed drawings,specifications and references. Any/all additional costs for structure modifications orother changes associated with utilizing a brand other than Waterman are to beborne by the contractor.21

PART 2EQUIPMENT2.01 GENERALA. The gates shall be either self-contained with yoke and bench stand operators, or non-selfcontainedwith separate stem guides and operator, in accordance with the requirements ofthese specifications.B. This gate is in compliance with the latest version of AWWA C 561.C. Specific configurations shall be as noted on the gate schedule or as shown on the plans.D. Materials:ComponentsFrame, Cover Slides, YokesStemsMaterialsStainless steel: ASTM A 276 and/orASTM A 240, AISI Type 304, 316, or2205 Duplex, as specifiedStainless Steel: ASTM A 276, AISI Type304, 316, or 2205 Duplex, as specifiedFasteners and Anchor Bolts Stainless Steel: ASTM A 593 and 594,Type 304 CW, 316 CW, or UNS-S32205Duplex 2205, as specifiedFlushbottom Seals Rubber: ASTM D 2000 BC 615/625Grade BE 625Seat/SealsUltra High Molecular WeightPolyethylene (UHMW)FinishMill finish on all stainless steel surfaces.2.02 FRAME AND GUIDESA. The gate frame shall be composed of stainless steel guide rails with UHMW seat/sealsupstream and downstream. The seat/seals shall form a tight seal between the frame andthe slide (disc). The weir gate invert seal shall be a wiper type seal equal to the WatermanGuardian Seal TM .1. The UHMW seats will impinge on the slide (disc) by way of a continuous loopneoprene seal. Seal designs incorporating neoprene or other resilient side and topseals in direct contact with the slide are not acceptable.2. The neoprene seal will perform the function of a seal between the frame and theUHMW as well as a spring force to maintain contact between the UHMW and theslide (disc).3. This tight seal shall provide an allowable leakage rate of no more than .05 gallonsper minute (GPM) per peripheral foot of perimeter opening for seating head andunseating heads.22

B. Stainless steel retainer bars, cross bars and head rails (for self-contained gates only) shall beprovided.1. The clear opening shall be the same size as the waterway, unless otherwisespecified.2. The guides will be of sufficient length to support ½ of the height of the slide when inthe full open position.2.03 SLIDE COVER (DISC)A. The slide cover (disc) shall be stainless steel plate reinforced with structural shapes weldedto the plate.1. The slide cover shall not deflect more than 1/720th of the span, or 1/16” at thesealing surface of the gate under maximum specified head.2. The stem connection shall be either the clevis type, with structural members weldedto the slide and a bolt or bolts to act as a pivot pin, or a threaded and bolted (orkeyed) thrust nut supported in a welded nut pocket.3. The clevis or pocket and yoke of the gate shall be capable of taking, withoutdamage, at least twice the rated thrust output of the operator at 40 pounds of pullon a hand wheel or hand crank.2.04 FLUSHBOTTOM CLOSUREA. Gates shall be furnished with a flush seal arrangement. A resilient seal with a minimumwidth of exposed face of 1-3/8” shall be securely attached to the frame along the invert, andshall extend to the depth of the guide groove. The resilient seal extrusion shall beconstructed to be ribbed and self-retaining. Invert seal designs that require mechanicalretention are not allowed.2.05 ANCHOR BOLTSA. Anchor hardware shall be provided by the slide gate manufacturer.1. The size, quantity and location of the anchor hardware will be determined by theslide gate manufacturer.2. Anchor hardware consisting of studs, nuts and washers shall be provided by themanufacturer.23

PART 3EXECUTION3.01 INSTALLATIONA. Installation of the slide gates shall be done in a workmanlike manner. It shall be theresponsibility of the CONTRACTOR to handle, store, and install the equipment specified inthis Section in strict accordance with the Manufacturer’s recommendations.B. The CONTRACTOR shall review the installation drawings and installation instructions prior toinstalling the slide gates.C. The slide gate frames shall be installed in a true vertical plane, square and plumb, with notwist, convergence or divergence between the vertical legs of the guide frame.D. The CONTRACTOR shall fill any void between the guide frames and the structure with nonshrinkgrout as shown on the installation drawing and in accordance with the groutmanufacturer’s recommendations.3.02 FIELD TESTINGA. After installation, all slide gates will be field tested in the presence of the ENGINEER andOWNER to ensure that all items of equipment are in full compliance with this Section. Eachslide gate assembly shall be water tested by the CONTRACTOR at the discretion of theENGINEER and OWNER, to confirm that leakage does not exceed the specified allowedleakage.END OF SECTIONNOTHING FOLLOWS• GNI Waterman LLC • P.O.
