Description
A fire hydrant valve is a crucial component used to distribute water from a water main to a fire hose, facilitating effective firefighting operations. This essential device enables the control of water flow from a fire hydrant, allowing fire and emergency services, as well as industrial fire departments, to access the water supply required for extinguishing fires. Fixed fire protection devices, known as active fire protection equipment, can be promptly activated in emergencies to mitigate fire hazards.
Hydrant valves, also known as landing valves, play a pivotal role in drawing water for firefighting from the fire water piping network. Typically mounted onto stand posts and integrated into the fire water network, they provide a reliable means of accessing water during fire incidents.
There are two main types of fire hydrant valves:
Single Headed Fire Hydrant Valve: This type of hydrant valve, exemplified by the Armor Fire Single Headed Landing Valve Onlique Type-A, boasts a single outlet for connecting firefighting hoses. Crafted from durable stainless steel and compliant with IS:5290 standards, this valve ensures optimal performance and reliability. With a flanged 63MM inlet size and a body test rating of 23Kg/cm2, it can handle pressures effectively. Capable of delivering a flow rate of 900 LPM, this valve provides firefighters with the necessary water supply. Backed by a 12-month warranty and duly ISI marked, it guarantees quality and peace of mind.
Double Headed Fire Hydrant Valve: Conversely, a double headed fire hydrant valve, with its two outlets for connecting firefighting hoses, offers enhanced versatility and efficiency in larger firefighting scenarios. However, for applications where a single hose connection suffices, the single headed variant, exemplified by the Armor Fire Single Headed Landing Valve Onlique Type-A, proves to be an ideal choice. Weighing approximately 8.5 Kgs, it strikes the perfect balance between durability and ease of handling, ensuring firefighters are equipped to tackle fires effectively.
