Fire Hydrant Valve

Fire Hydrant Valve


Fire hydrant valve is a crucial component of a fire protection system used to control and distribute water during firefighting operations. Fire hydrant valves come in various designs, but they generally consist of a valve mechanism housed within a durable, weather-resistant casing.                        

Overview

How Does the Fire Fydrant Valve Work?

Hydrants are considered the main tool for active fire prevention and are commonly used to supply water from pipes and water distribution systems. A fire hydrant consists of a joint connected to a hose and a branch pipe specifically designed to provide enough water as soon as possible. This fast, safe water supply is a key factor in the successful suppression of fires at fire sites. Even better, it's easy to use. Simply turn the landing valve handle of the wet riser counterclockwise to activate the hydrant system.

Difference between Marine Hydrant Valves and Land Hydrant Valves

Marine hydrant valves are usually designed to be more compact and lightweight to suit the special needs of the marine environment. Marine hydrant valves are usually waterproof, rustproof and resistant to seawater corrosion to ensure long and reliable operation in the marine environment. In addition, marine hydrant valves are usually more waterproof to cope with seawater immersion.

On the other hand, land hydrant valves are usually designed to be more durable and robust to suit the needs of the land-based environment. Land hydrant valves are typically used in fire protection systems in buildings, streets, and other land-based facilities, where they are subjected to increased pressure and frequency of use. As a result, land hydrant valves are typically larger in size and more durable to ensure a reliable supply of water in the event of an emergency.
