Fire butterfly valves serve as crucial control valves in fire fighting systems, efficiently starting and shutting off water flow to pipeline networks. Their operation centers on a simple yet effective internal disc that rotates a quarter-turn to regulate water movement. A key safety feature is the integrated position indicator, providing firefighters with immediate visual confirmation of the valve's status (open or closed). This robust design, typically comprising just four main parts—body, seat, stem, and disc—ensures reliable performance and ease of maintenance. These butterfly valves are fundamental for managing water supply in fire protection systems, offering excellent flow control for life safety applications.
To meet diverse project requirements, fire butterfly valves are manufactured in a wide spectrum of sizes, typically ranging from 1 inch to 12 inches in diameter, with common pressure ratings up to 300 PSI. They are available in various end configurations to suit different piping designs, with wafer butterfly valves, threaded butterfly valves, and grooved butterfly valves being the most prevalent types used in the industry. This versatility in size and connection type makes them suitable for a broad array of applications, from commercial building risers to industrial fire water mains, ensuring optimal water flow control and system integrity.
Built for durability and reliability, our Joepai's butterfly valves are engineered to meet stringent industry standards for fire protection. The simple design translates to dependable operation over the long term, which is critical for emergency systems. Their compact profile makes them easy to install in space-constrained areas. We supply high-quality lug butterfly valves and wafer type valves that provide a tight seal and minimal pressure drop, contributing to the overall efficiency of the fire sprinkler system and helping safeguard properties and lives.
