Territory Restriction: Territory Restriction: Red Valve appointed Lesman as its exclusive industrial representative effective July 1, 2021. Lesman's Red Valve territory includes the entire state of Illinois, Eastern Missouri, select counties in Northwest Indiana, and select western counties in Kentucky. Red Valve customers outside the Lesman territory can find their local representative at RedValve.com.

The Series DX design features a full-port opening, which minimizes turbulence and wear. The seats isolate and protect all metal parts of the valve from coming in contact with the process. When closed, the sleeves provide a drop-tight seal in both directions.

The valve discharges a small amount of slurry on each stroke, which keeps the gate path and seat area clear of entrapped particulates. The DX prevents slurry build-up in the seat area unlike traditional knife gate valves. The wiper blade at the top of the valve prevents the gate lubricant and process from leaking through the top and external grit from entering the valve body.
