Gate Valve

Gate Valve for Fire Protection Piping

A gate valve is commonly considered where a piping section needs full-open or full-closed isolation. The handwheel-operated design raises or lowers an internal gate, making this valve type suitable for controlled isolation duties in compatible water-supply and fire-protection networks. It should not be selected only by appearance; the complete valve specification must match the system design.

Key Benefits

• Designed for isolation service in the fully open or fully closed position.
• Handwheel operation gives the user a clear manual method of controlling the valve position.
• A suitable full-bore configuration may support an open flow path when the gate is fully raised.
• Model, material and connection options can be reviewed against the confirmed project schedule.

Where a Gate Valve May Be Used

Depending on the approved design, a gate valve may be considered at isolation points within compatible water-based fire-protection pipework. The valve location, accessibility, supervision requirements and maintenance clearance should be checked by the responsible designer or installer.

Information Required Before Ordering

Please provide the nominal size, body and trim materials, end connection, working pressure, operating temperature, stem arrangement, handwheel or gearbox requirement, installation orientation, required approvals and quantity. Specifications differ between models, so AJ Safety Solutions will quote only after the required configuration is confirmed.

Standards and Maintenance References

System designers and maintenance teams can refer to the official NFPA 14 standard-development page for standpipe and hose systems and the NFPA 25 standard-development page for inspection, testing and maintenance of water-based systems. Linking to these resources is informational and does not claim that an unspecified valve model is listed, approved or certified.
