Wal-rich 1889 Blue Square Seat Gauge

Product Description

The WAL-RICH 1889 BLUE is a square seat gauge used to measure and verify the seating surface condition of valves during service and repair operations. Square seat gauges are essential for plumbing and valve maintenance work, allowing technicians to confirm proper seat geometry before lapping, grinding, or replacing valve components. This tool supports accurate diagnosis and helps reduce the risk of leaks caused by improper seating. It is used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on valve repair and reconditioning across residential and commercial systems.

The 1889 BLUE is suited for plumbing service environments where valve seat integrity must be confirmed before reassembly. It is appropriate for use on gate valves, globe valves, and similar configurations that rely on a machined square seat profile. This gauge fits into standard valve service workflows where components are inspected, measured, and reconditioned prior to returning the valve to service.
