Confirm the Product Configuration

Nominal size

Match the product to the specified pipeline size.

Pressure rating

Confirm the design pressure and possible surge conditions.

Connection

Confirm flanged, wafer, lug or grooved connection, subject to product type.

Body and seat materials

Match the water quality, temperature, corrosion conditions and project specification.

Operation

Confirm handwheel, lever, gearbox or actuator requirements.

Installation space

Check accessibility, orientation and maintenance clearance.

Standards

Follow the contract, drawings and technical specification.

Approval

Verify required approval for the specific product and model.

Confirm Fire-Protection-Specific Requirements

Position Monitoring

Signal Butterfly Valves

A tamper or supervisory switch can monitor the valve position in fire-water systems.

  • Confirm the switch type and wiring requirements
  • Specify the valve size, connection and gearbox
  • Verify the required project approval
Gate Valve Design

OS&Y vs NRS Gate Valves

OS&Y:The rising stem provides a clear visual indication of the valve position.

NRS:The non-rising design is more compact where installation clearance is limited.

Confirm the required stem design and supervision method against the project specification.
Reverse-Flow Prevention

Fire Pump Check Valves

Check valves are normally installed on fire pump discharge lines to prevent reverse flow.

  • Swing:Low pressure loss and stable flow
  • Dual plate:Compact with faster closing
  • Silent:Suitable where surge control is important
Approval Verification

UL Listed and FM Approved

UL Listed and FM Approved are separate third-party certification systems.

Approval applies only to the specific model, size, pressure rating and configuration covered by the applicable listing or certificate.

Specify the required approval so availability and supporting documents can be confirmed before quotation.

Final selection must be confirmed against the project specification. Any required approval should be verified for the specific product type and model offered.

Request Fire Protection Valve Selection

Send your valve schedule, drawings or project requirements. Include the application, size, pressure rating, connection type, operating method and required approvals so we can review the appropriate configuration.

Fire Protection Valves FAQs

Which check valve is suitable for a fire pump discharge line?

Swing, dual-plate or silent check valves may be used. Selection depends on flow, pressure surge, installation orientation and approval requirements.

Do all fire protection valves require UL or FM approval?

No. Approval depends on project specifications and local requirements. If required, verify the exact valve model, size, pressure rating and configuration.

When is a supervisory or tamper switch required?

It is required when the system must monitor whether a control valve remains open. Follow the project specification and applicable fire code.

What is the difference between OS&Y and NRS gate valves?

An OS&Y valve has a rising stem that visibly indicates valve position. An NRS valve is more compact but does not provide the same direct visual indication.
