      "If the handle is perpendicular it is closed."

      Amanda's Feedback

      You're correct. When the gate valve handle is parallel to the valve, it is closed, and when it is perpendicular to the valve, it is open. Confirming that you can tell if a gate valve is open or closed shows the interviewer that you have an understanding of the basics that can be built upon through the apprenticeship process.
