ABSTRACT:
A swing gate valve for closing a lateral discharge opening in an elongated conduit includes a swing gate shaped to fit around the exterior of the conduit in an open position adjacent the lateral opening. A pair of pivotable swing arms are connected to the swing gate on opposite sides of the conduit, and are operated by an air ram to swing the gate to move it to a closed position over the discharge opening to an open position.
