Our Hydrant Valves are the critical link between your water main and the fire hydrant, meticulously engineered to deliver rapid, reliable, and secure water flow for emergency fire suppression. Designed for municipal water systems, industrial complexes, and commercial properties, these valves ensure that firefighters have immediate access to high-pressure water when every second counts.
Built to withstand the most demanding conditions, our hydrant valves combine robust construction with advanced sealing technology, guaranteeing unparalleled durability, minimal maintenance, and consistent performance over decades of service.
Key Features & Benefits
Robust Construction:
Feature: Heavy-duty ductile iron body (ASTM A536) for superior strength and impact resistance.
Benefit: Ensures long service life in harsh underground environments, resisting external pressures and ground shifts.
Corrosion Resistance:
Feature: Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coating, applied both internally and externally, meets AWWA C550 standards. Bronze or stainless steel trim components.
Benefit: Provides exceptional protection against corrosion, electrolysis, and tuberculation, maintaining flow efficiency and extending valve lifespan.
Reliable Sealing Mechanism:
Feature: Resilient wedge/disc design with EPDM or NBR rubber encapsulation. Positive seating action.
Benefit: Delivers bubble-tight shut-off, preventing leaks and water loss, ensuring maximum pressure is available for firefighting operations.
Smooth & Efficient Operation:
Feature: Non-rising stem design with low-torque operation and self-lubricating stem nut.
Benefit: Allows for quick and easy valve operation by a single person, even under high pressure, minimizing response times during emergencies. Reduces wear and tear on operating mechanisms.
Benefit: Maximizes flow capacity and minimizes pressure loss, ensuring fire pumps receive adequate water volume without hindrance.
