Which direction does the gate valve open?

Normally, the valve is opened to the right and closed to the left. The valve is usually closed clockwise and opened counterclockwise, that is, it is closed when the arrow points to the S direction and opened when the arrow points to the O direction. In this case, s means off, and o means on and off. If equipped with a handwheel, turning the thumb to the right hand means opening, and vice versa.

If the sign on the sluice is related to opening, it can be operated in the direction of the sign, and the operation in the direction of opening is opening. Because the sluice is not often used, it may rust after a long time. If the user can't open the gate clockwise, it needs to be derusted before opening the gate.
