Mannheim [S2]

Evidence scope

The retained official product route documents: VAG is a valve manufacturer providing water, wastewater and water-control solutions. This dossier uses that cited route as the editorial scope. [S7]

The retained research coverage separates company identity from the named product evidence. It does not turn one model or series into a claim about unlisted company-wide operations. [S10]

Procurement fit

For the knife gate category, VAG describes the ZETA as a shut-off valve suited to wastewater applications, dams, power plants and industrial service, with bidirectional sealing and an unrestricted flow passage. The procurement note explicitly states that selected valve, standards, availability and lead time must be confirmed directly with VAG. For the plug valve category, the B517 ECO-Centric fits where buried service, mechanical-joint or flanged connections, and quarter-turn operation via 2-inch nut or worm gear match the line. Final size, materials, pressure rating and configuration must be confirmed with VAG before release.

Technical capabilities

The VAG ZETA is a resilient-seated, fully flanged knife gate valve operated by a hand lever, with a pressure class of PN 10 and a size range of DN 50 to 150. Bidirectional sealing and unrestricted flow passage are documented features. The Figure B517 ECO-Centric is an eccentric plug valve constructed of stainless steel, designed for buried service with mechanical-joint or flanged connections, and operated as a quarter-turn device using a 2-inch nut or worm gear. No additional technical parameters, test pressures, face-to-face dimensions, materials beyond stainless steel for the B517, or actuator variants are documented in the source material.

Markets and applications

The ZETA knife gate valve is documented by VAG as a shut-off valve for wastewater applications, dams, power plants and industrial service. A separate VAG application list covering water distribution, water treatment, wastewater, dams, power plants and industrial uses is attributed to double-offset butterfly valves, which fall outside the categories documented for this profile. For plug valves, the documented installation context is buried service with mechanical-joint or flanged connections, served by the Figure B517 ECO-Centric. No additional end-market sectors, regional concentration, reference installations, or customer segments are documented in the source material.

Evidence limitations

Several common procurement fields are not publicly documented in the source material, including certification and approval status, lead times, current stock availability, factory test certificates, material certificates, size range beyond the documented DN 50 to 150, actuator options and torque data, face-to-face dimensions, pressure-temperature ratings, list pricing, regional distributor coverage, and warranty terms. The only documented technical boundaries are the ZETA PN 10 rating, DN 50 to 150 size range with hand lever actuation, and the B517 stainless steel construction, buried-service context, mechanical-joint or flanged connection, and quarter-turn operation via 2-inch nut or worm gear.

Editorial summary

VAG GmbH is documented as a Germany-based manufacturer located in Mannheim. The product coverage documented for this profile is limited to two categories: knife gate valves and plug valves. Knife gate coverage is represented by the VAG ZETA resilient-seated, fully flanged knife gate valve with hand lever, rated PN 10 in DN 50 to 150. Plug valve coverage is represented by the VAG/GA Industries Figure B517 ECO-Centric eccentric plug valve in stainless steel. No additional corporate history, group structure, size, employee count, or certification status is documented in the source material.

Frequently asked questions

What Knife Gate Valve product is documented for VAG GmbH?

The retained product material names VAG ZETA resilient-seated, fully flanged knife gate valve with hand lever, PN 10 and DN 50 to 150. The dossier keeps this as a product-level statement rather than using it as a claim about the company's entire catalogue. [S4]

Which common buying fields are not published in the retained sources?

The retained source packet does not publish Annual sales, Certifications, Availability or stock. Those fields are intentionally left out of the procurement snapshot rather than inferred from a related series, a product image or the company identity. [S10][S16]

Research notes

The retained first-party packet supports a richer product-level reading surface, but it does not yet contain 600 words of distinct cited content. This noindex dossier remains in reviewing status until additional source-backed facts are retained.
