Hydrant Valve - Reliable & Robust Water Control for Emergency & Industrial Applications

Overview

The Hydrant Valve is a critical component in fire protection systems, municipal water networks, and industrial facilities, designed to provide immediate and controlled access to a high-pressure water supply. Engineered for durability and flawless performance under demanding conditions, our Hydrant Valves ensure a reliable water source for firefighting, flushing, and other critical operations.

Whether for public safety, industrial process control, or utility maintenance, our valves deliver unparalleled reliability and ease of operation, making them an indispensable asset for any comprehensive water management strategy.

Key Features

• Robust Construction:
  • Body constructed from high-grade Ductile Iron (GGG50) or Cast Iron, ensuring exceptional strength and resistance to mechanical stress.
  • Internal components (stem, seat, disc) made from corrosion-resistant materials like Brass, Bronze, or Stainless Steel for longevity and consistent performance.
• Corrosion Protection:
  • Internally and externally coated with Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE), minimum 250 microns, for superior protection against rust, chemicals, and environmental degradation.
  • UV-resistant coating ensures long-term color stability and material integrity when exposed to sunlight.
• Precision Sealing:
  • Equipped with high-quality EPDM or NBR rubber seals for a bubble-tight closure, preventing leaks and ensuring efficient water control.
  • Robust gland packing or O-ring seals on the stem prevent external leakage.
• Smooth & Reliable Operation:
  • Designed for low operating torque, allowing for quick and effortless opening and closing via a handwheel or operating wrench.
  • Non-rising stem design (for specific models) ensures compact installation and protection of the stem.
• High-Pressure Capability:
  • Engineered to withstand high working pressures (PN10, PN16, PN25) typical of fire mains and industrial water systems.
• Standardized Connections:
  • Available with flanged (e.g., EN 1092-2, ANSI B16.5, AS/NZS 4087) or screwed outlets (e.g., BS 336, Storz) to ensure compatibility with a wide range of piping systems and firefighting equipment.
• Drainage System (for Dry Barrel Hydrants):
  • Automatic drain valve feature for dry barrel types, preventing water from standing in the hydrant barrel, thus eliminating the risk of freezing in cold climates.
• Anti-Vandalism & Security:
  • Options for tamper-proof features and protective caps to prevent unauthorized access or interference.
• Ease of Maintenance:
  • Designed for straightforward servicing and replacement of components, minimizing downtime and extending service life.
