Spanish term or phrase: órganos de cierre
"En las válvulas de retención deberán desmontarse los órganos de cierre (clapetas, pistones, etc) a cargo del Contratista." In a technical document about tanks for a biodiesel plant. I think it could be either gate valves or stop taps according to my research, any thoughts please?

agree  eski: I think you're right about it being used more generically here, Margaret,since the text implies that it encompasses several elements.
