Gilmore V-Seal Shuttle Valve
Improving subsea corrosion resistance and extending cycle life through new technology.
The GEN2 V-Seal Shuttle Valve design exceeds new offshore industry requirements. An increase in cycle life was proven through extreme testing to meet the demand of 5 year service life under normal operating conditions. This valve replaces the legacy shuttle valves in your existing equipment as they have the same footprint and do not require re-piping
Significant engineering enhancements
• New V-seal and hydraulic damping technology prevent seal failure and improve cycle life
• Corrosion resistant material selection throughout for subsea applications including Nitronic 60 shuttle, sleeves, and caps.

Damping Stage 3
Damping Stage 2
Damping Stage 1
At end of shift volume change between shuttle and 2nd cage further reduces shuttle velocity as V-Seal is energized
Near end of shift volume change between shuttle and 2nd cage reduces shuttle velocity prior to engaging V-Seal
At beginning of shift volume change between shuttle and 1st cage reduces shuttle velocity
Nitronic® shuttle, cages, and guides prevent galling during shuttle transition
Proprietary Dynamic V-seal technology extends seal retention
A-286 cap screws with Nord-Lock® washers for better flange security
Assembly 1-1/2” Cutaway
