In water supply pipeline systems, both butterfly valves and gate valves have their respective advantages: butterfly valves are easy to operate and cost-effective, making them suitable for flow regulation and frequent opening and closing; gate valves offer superior sealing performance and high reliability, but they require more effort to operate and are more expensive. When making a selection, one should consider flow control requirements, operating frequency, budget, and long-term maintenance costs comprehensively.
