A CHOICE OF MATERIALS: In most municipal water and wastewater applications, stainless steel grades 304L and 316L will be an excellent choice of material to use for fabrication. These grades will provide very good durability and service life in these conditions. However, there are some cases where very aggressive conditions might be encountered. In such instances, Fontaine-Aquanox can provide much more corrosive resistent grades of stainless steel, such as Duplex 2205 or Super Duplex 2507. Our 2507 gates are also available with certification to the NSF 61 standard for use in drinking water.
