are the most common. In this system the sprinkler piping is constantly filled with water.

• Wet pipe sprinkler systems

• dry pipe sprinkler systems

• Preaction Systems

are very similar to wet pipe systems with one major difference. The pipe is not constantly filled with water. Instead, the water is held behind a dry pipe valve usually some distance away from where the sprinklers are located.

• Wet Pipe Systems

Predominantly equipped with quick-acting 90-degree turn handles, these valves use a ball to control flow to provide easy on-off control. Generally accepted by operators to be faster and easier to operate than gate valves.

• BALL VALVE

• BUTTERFLY VALVE

• CHECK VALVE

Using a compact design, the butterfly valve is a quick-acting rotary motion valve ideal for tight spaces thanks to its wafer type design. Butterfly valve bodies are offered in many different configurations.

• BUTTERFLY VALVE

• BALL VALVE

• CHECK VALVE

Used to prevent backflow, these valves are typically self-activated allowing the valve automatically opens when media passes through the valve in the intended direction and close should flow reverse.

• CHECK VALVE

• GATE VALVE

• BUTTERFLY VALVE

As one of the most common valve types, gate valves use linear motion to start and stop the flow. These are typically not used for flow regulation. Instead, they used in the fully open or closed positions.

• GATE VALVE

• CHECK VALVE

• BUTTERFLY VALVE

a valves are typically applied in modulating control operations. Typically avaialable in three body types, T-body (as shown above), Y-Pattern, and Angle body.

• GLOBE VALVE

• GATE VALVE

• BUTTERFLY VALVE

Using a quick-acting quarter-turn valve handle, these valves control flow using tapered or cylindrical plugs. They provide some of the best ratings when tight shutoff is essential and are reliable in high-pressure or high-temperature environments.

• PLUG VALVE

• PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

• GLOBE VALVE

Used to help improve safety, these valves are spring-automated and will help to return a system to the desired pressure during over-pressure events.
