Golden Harvest - Model GH-30, 31, 36 -Diversion Stop Gates for Water Flow Control
Golden Harvest Inc. specializes in the design and fabrication of diversion stop gates used to block water flow in open channels. These gates are typically constructed from lightweight aluminum, although stainless steel options are available for increased durability. The design includes reinforced structures to minimize deflection under pressure from the water head. Stop gates are equipped with guide frames to fit specific channel structures, and can include neoprene seals to ensure tight closure. Options are available for fixed handles or hand-placed slot grips. Lifters can be included for the installation and removal of individual stop logs. The company's stop logs, designed for incremental water flow control, feature replaceable neoprene seals held by a retainer bar. Additionally, they provide guide rails for various mounting configurations, catering to diverse structural requirements.- Water Diversion Gates

Stop Gates
Golden Harvest Inc. Stop Gates are designed to block water flow in open channels. They are generally fabricated from aluminum to save weight, but can be provided in stainless steel. Design includes reinforcements to limit deflection of the gate under the designed head condition.
Guide frames are designed to fit into the channel structures and can include neoprene seals. Golden Harvest stop gates can be fitted with either fixed handles or a slot grip for hand placing. Lifters, (when provided), are designed to install and remove individual stop logs, and to travel in the frame guides.
Models:
- GH-31 Stainless Steel
- GH-30 Aluminum (UHMW Seats)
- GH-36 Aluminum (UHMW Seats & P-Seals)
Stop Logs
Golden Harvest Inc. Stop Logs are designed for incremental control of water flow in open channels, similar to weir gates, but made in separate sections. They are generally fabricated from aluminum to save weight, but can be provided in stainless steel. Design includes reinforcements to limit deflection of the gate under the designed head condition, and each log can have an extruded neoprene seal on its invert. Seals are held in place by a bolted retainer bar and are field replaceable. Heavier logs can be provided with lifters for mechanical `hoisting` of the sections.
Guide frames are designed to fit into the channel structures and can include neoprene seals. Golden Harvest stop logs can be fitted with either fixed handles or a slot grip for hand placing. Lifters, (when provided), are designed to install and remove individual stop logs, and to travel in the frame guides.
Guide rails for embedded, flat back or channel mounting are available. These gates are designed for a maximum head of one foot over the slide, unless otherwise specified.
Model GH-36 Aluminum Stop Gates
Other Models: Model GH-30 Aluminum
This section covers Aluminum Stop Gates. The equipment provided under this section shall be fabricated, assembled, erected, and placed in proper operating condition in full conformity with the drawings, specifications, engineering data, instructions and recommendations of the equipment manufacturer.
Gates and operators shall be supplied with all the necessary parts and accessories indicated on the drawings, specified, or otherwise required for a complete, properly operating installation, and shall be the latest standard product of a manufacturer regularly engaged in the production of fabricated gates.
Approved Manufacturers
Gates supplied under this section shall be Model GH-36 Stop Gates as manufactured by Golden Harvest Inc. or engineer approved equal.
Governing Standards
Except as modified or supplemented herein, all gates and operators shall conform to the applicable requirements of AWWA standards.
Quality Assurance
The manufacturer shall have 5 years experience in the production of substantially similar equipment, and shall show evidence of satisfactory operation in at least 10 installations. The manufacturer?s shop welds, welding procedures and welders shall be qualified and certified in accordance with the requirement of the latest edition of AWS Sections D1.1, 1.2 and 1.6.
The fully assembled gates shall be shop inspected, tested for operation and leakage, and adjusted before shipping. There shall be no assembling or adjusting on the job sites other than for the lifting mechanism.
Submittals
1. The manufacturer shall submit for approval by the purchaser, drawings showing the principal dimensions, general construction and materials used in the gate.
Performance
Leakage: Gates shall be substantially watertight under the design head conditions. Under the design seating head, the leakage shall not exceed 0.1 US gallons per minute per foot of seating perimeter. Under the design unseating head, the leakage shall not exceed 0.1 US gallons per minute per foot of perimeter.
Materials and Construction
General Design
All parts of the gate shall have a minimum thickness of 1/4 inch. Gates shall be designed for embed, surface, or in-channel mounting as shown on drawings.
Frame
The gate frame shall be extruded aluminum weighing not less then 4-1/4 pounds per foot. The guide grooves in which the head guide angle travel shall contain ultra high molecular weight polyethylene bearing bars in dovetail slots.
The frame configuration shall be of the flush-bottom type and shall allow the replacement of the side seals without removing the gate frame from the wall.
Slide
The slide shall consist of aluminum plate reinforced with `U` shaped aluminum extrusion welded to the plate to limit its deflection to 1/360 of the gate`s span under the design head.
Guides and Seals
The guide groves shall contain UHMW bearing bars in dovetail slots.
Side and top seals shall be field adjustable resilient J-bulb seals attached to the spigot and held in place by a bolted retainer bar.
The flush bottom resilient neoprene seal shall be mounted to bottom of disc or frame.
Lifting Assemblies
A single handle shall be provided for gates up to 3 feet in width. Duals handle shall be provided for gates over three feet in width.
