A bidirectional knife gate valve is designed to seal effectively from both sides and operates under back pressure, providing better water tightness. This type of valve is less prone to leakage from solid accumulation and is more versatile in applications where flow can occur in either direction. Though typically more expensive, bidirectional valves offer lower torque and thrust requirements and are ideal for installations at the end of pipelines.
