Flanged Resilient OS&Y Gate Valve - UL/FM

Purpose: Used to control water flow in fire sprinkler systems within commercial, industrial, and residential buildings.

Reason: The OS&Y design allows building managers or inspectors to easily see whether the valve is open or closed, which is crucial for ensuring the system is operational. The flanged connections ensure a strong, leak-proof seal, and the UL/FM certification guarantees reliability in fire safety systems.

Benefit: Provides reliable control over the water supply to sprinklers, ensuring the system is always ready for emergencies and making it easy to perform inspections and maintenance.

• Purpose: Used to isolate fire pumps or specific sections of a fire protection system for maintenance or testing.
• Reason: The OS&Y mechanism gives clear visual feedback on whether the valve is open or closed, and the resilient seat provides a tight seal when closed. Flanged connections offer a sturdy attachment to the piping, and the UL/FM certification ensures compliance with fire safety standards.
• Benefit: Improves maintenance efficiency and safety by allowing isolation of critical equipment, such as fire pumps, without affecting the rest of the fire protection system.

Purpose: Installed in standpipe systems in multi-story buildings to control the water flow to hose connections for firefighting purposes.

Reason: The OS&Y gate valve provides a clear visual indication of whether water can flow to the standpipes, ensuring readiness in emergency situations. The flanged design offers secure installation, and UL/FM certification ensures that the valve can handle the pressures and safety requirements of fire protection.

Benefit: Ensures dependable water supply control to standpipe systems, enabling effective firefighting efforts within the building and simplifying inspections by providing visible valve status.
