This black-and-white technical illustration shows a vertical cross-section of a rising-stem gate valve, with clearly labeled structural elements including the handwheel, stem, gate disc, bonnet, and body. The diagram demonstrates the open position, where the gate is fully lifted, allowing unobstructed flow from left to right through the pipe. Hatching indicates solid metal parts, while wavy lines represent fluid media.

Used in engineering manuals, plumbing guides, HVAC training materials, and industrial equipment documentation to explain valve function, maintenance, or failure analysis. Matches user intent for visual learning, troubleshooting, or design reference.
