Landing Valve

Landing Valve for Riser and Fire Hose Connections

A landing valve provides a dedicated point from which firefighting personnel can connect a hose and control water discharge. It is installed as part of a compatible riser or hydrant arrangement and is operated manually through its handwheel.

Controlled Fire Hose Outlet

The valve receives water through its inlet and directs it toward the hose outlet when opened. A cap can protect the outlet when it is not connected, while the handwheel gives the operator a deliberate means of starting, controlling, and stopping discharge.

Key Functional Features

• Provides a defined connection point for a firefighting hose.
• Manual handwheel operation supports controlled water delivery.
• The outlet remains identifiable and accessible for operational use.
• The valve can be incorporated into wet-riser, dry-riser, or hydrant layouts where specified.

Typical Applications

Landing valves are associated with building risers, internal hydrant points, fire cabinets, and other fixed water-supply locations intended for hose connection. Their placement, orientation, accessibility, and protective cabinet arrangement must follow the approved system drawings.

Project Specification Notes

Landing valve geometry, inlet style, outlet coupling, nominal size, pressure class, body material, cap arrangement, finish, and required approvals differ between models. This listing does not assign unverified values. The final product should be checked against the project specification, fire strategy, and authority requirements.

Standards and Maintenance References

For system-level information, refer to NFPA 14 for standpipe and hose systems and NFPA 25 for inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems. The adopted local code and approved design govern the final installation.
