Thank you very much for your questions and your effort to build Sluice Gates.

Yaxing Valve contains other products and information you need, so please check it out.

Please follow the guidelines below:

1. Click on the following video link to understand how to set up a Sluice gate based on time series.

2. If you are using EE 11.7 / 11.8&#; I would like to show you some maps below. Please follow the steps outlined.
   
   Figure 1: RMC on Hydraulic Structures and set up as displayed (this step is for configuring hydraulic parameters)
   
   Figure 2: RMC on Control Time Series as displayed (this step is for setting up the Boundary Data series for the sluice gate).
   
   Figure 3: This figure illustrates how to add a sluice gate to your model grid. Please follow the steps from 1 to 9 for easy comprehension.

Regarding your question (I have tried to set it up many times without success), I&#;m not sure about your specific intention. Are you looking to set up a sluice gate for testing purposes or some other use? If it&#;s for testing, the guidelines provided above should be helpful.

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit sluice gate manufacturer.

I hope this guide proves to be useful for you. Please don&#;t hesitate to reach out if you require any further assistance. Thank you very much

I don't think you would want to contact Waterman...I just finished a job where we submitted their products. We had ordered 12 sluice gates from them last year, after recieving the thimbles, they went out of business. They seem to have a wonderful web site, but TRUST ME! We even sent people to their manufacturing facility to see what the problems were with our shipments...THEY ARE CLOSED! Anyway, we then contracted Hydro Gate to custom manufacture gates to fit the Waterman thimbles we had already installed. They did a great job and so far everything has been working great. NOW, on to your question about sluice gates vs. slide gates. Sluice gates only seal on one side, typically a cast iron gate with brass "wedges" that force the face of the gate against the frame where a brass face on the frame and gate seal against eachother. On a slide gate typically made of stainless steel, a flat plate "gate" slides inside two channels in the frame. Slide gates can be flush mounted - that is, against a wall, they can also be channel mounted where the frame is cast into or bolted to the channel walls. Usually, a sluice gate is only mountable flush to a wall. This can be done by bolting it to a thimble that is cast into the concrete or by using a type of threaded anchor into the wall. As far as leakage, slide gates seem to seal much better, that is my opinion. I have installed sluice gates and slide gates in many water and waste water treatment facilities, it seems that with large heads, the best option is a sluice gate, but for low heads and corrosive enviroments, the stainless slide gate is the best option. Fontaine is a pretty good manufacture, they are out of Canada, but their service techs are very knowledgeable and their product is pretty reliable. One more note, the AWWA alowable leakage for slide gates is .1 gpm per linear foot of sealing surface. The same calculation for sluice gates when the head pressure is helping to seal the gate, however if the head pressure is trying to break the seal on a sluice gate, expect more leakage, they raise the alowable to .2 gpm per linear foot.
