Fire Hydrant Valve: Unwavering Control, Uncompromising Safety

Ensure immediate and reliable water access for fire suppression with our high-performance Fire Hydrant Valve. Engineered for the most demanding municipal and industrial applications, our valves provide the critical control needed to save lives and protect property.

💧 Product Overview

The Fire Hydrant Valve is a crucial component within any public or private fire protection system, acting as the primary shut-off and control mechanism between the main water supply line and the fire hydrant. Designed for ultimate reliability and durability, our valves guarantee seamless operation under pressure, even after long periods of inactivity, making them indispensable for rapid emergency response.

✨ Key Features

• Robust Ductile Iron Construction: Cast from premium ductile iron (ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12 or equivalent), ensuring exceptional strength, impact resistance, and a long service life in harsh environments.
• Fusion-Bonded Epoxy (FBE) Coating: Internally and externally coated with NSF/ANSI 61 certified fusion-bonded epoxy for superior corrosion resistance, protecting against water, chemicals, and soil contaminants.
• Resilient Wedge Design: Features an EPDM or NBR encapsulated ductile iron wedge that provides a bubble-tight, leak-proof seal, minimizing water loss and ensuring optimal system pressure.
• Full Port Design: Offers unrestricted flow, maximizing water delivery to the fire hydrant and enabling quicker, more effective fire suppression.
• AWWA C509/C515 Compliance: Manufactured to meet or exceed stringent American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards for resilient-seated gate valves, ensuring reliability and compatibility with existing infrastructure.
• Low Operating Torque: Designed for smooth and easy operation, allowing firefighters or utility personnel to quickly open and close the valve with minimal effort.
• Corrosion-Resistant Stem: Utilizes a high-strength stainless steel stem (e.g., SS304/SS316) with rolled threads, preventing corrosion and ensuring smooth, consistent operation.
• Multiple End Connections: Available with standard flanged (ANSI B16.1 Class 125/150, EN 1092-2 PN10/PN16) or mechanical joint (AWWA C111/C153) connections for versatile installation.
• Operating Nut/Handwheel Options: Standard square operating nut for wrench operation, with optional handwheel for manual control in specific applications.
