Right Angle Type Fire Hydrant Valve
Right angle type fire hydrant valve is designed to be installed at a right angle to the fire hydrant outlet. This allows for easier access to the valve and makes it more convenient to operate. The right angle design also helps to prevent damage to the valve and makes it easier to connect hoses and other firefighting equipment. These valves are commonly used in firefighting systems to control the flow of water from the hydrant to the hoses and other firefighting equipment.
Overview
Overview
Constructed from high-grade corrosion-resistant materials, the valve features a robust integral elbow that withstands high pressure and mechanical stress. The flow path is optimized to minimize turbulence. A clearly marked open/close direction on the handwheel ensures quick and unambiguous operation during emergencies. All internal seals are designed for long-term durability and tight shut-off.
Design Features
This valve has a right-angle configuration, which enables easy connection of the fire hose at a 90-degree angle to the hydrant outlet. This design facilitates efficient hose deployment during firefighting operations, especially in confined spaces or areas with limited access.
Benefits of the Integrated 90-Degree Design
Space Optimization: Reduces the overall installation footprint by combining valve and elbow functions, crucial in tight machinery spaces or along bulkheads.
Simplified Installation: Requires only one connection point to the main, reducing labor time and potential leak points compared to a valve + separate elbow assembly.
Improved Hose Management: The angled outlet naturally directs the hose away from the wall or equipment, preventing kinks and allowing for a smoother hose bed.
Reduced Pressure Loss: A single, smooth 90-degree bend engineered into the valve body typically creates less flow resistance than two sharp turns created by separate fittings.
