Gate Valves – Precision Flow Control for Industrial and Plumbing Systems
At Afritech General Supplies Ltd, we provide reliable and efficient gate valves engineered to meet a wide range of fluid control needs. Whether you’re handling water, oil, steam, or gas, our valves offer tight shutoff, minimal pressure drop, and long-term durability under high-pressure conditions.
These valves operate by lifting a gate out of the flow path, making them ideal for on/off control rather than throttling. With robust construction, easy installation, and compatibility with various pipe systems, our gate valves are a favorite among engineers, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals across Kenya.

- Rising Stem Gate Valves – Easy to identify position; perfect for above-ground systems
