Embodiments provide a gate valve including a first body half that defines a first process fluid aperture, a second body half that defines a second process fluid aperture aligned with the first process fluid aperture, a gate that is movable relative to the first body half and the second body, and a first port gate support that is arranged on the first body half and extends into the first process fluid aperture. The first port gate support defines a curved surface that is configured to be in contact with a process fluid.
