ABSTRACT:
A gate valve assembly for controlling fluid flow is provided with wireline-cutting inserts loose-fitted in either of, or both of, the gate opening and at least one of the seats. Each insert has a length that prohibits it from extending beyond the opening in which it is received so that the contact surface between the gate and an adjacent seat forms a continuous seal and the inserts serve only a wireline-cutting function, thus eliminating the possibility of sealing surfaces being damaged by wireline-cutting.
