Types of NAFFCO Firefighting Valves
NAFFCO offers a complete portfolio of firefighting valves designed for different functions within fire protection networks:
Gate Valves
Gate valves are primarily used for on/off isolation in firefighting pipelines. They provide a straight flow path with minimal pressure loss when fully open.
Applications:
Main isolation valves in sprinkler systems, hydrant networks, and fire pump rooms.
Butterfly Valves
Butterfly valves use a compact, quarter-turn mechanism that allows for fast operation and space-saving installation.
Applications:
Zonal isolation in sprinkler systems, fire pump discharge lines, and indoor riser systems.
Check Valves (Non-Return Valves)
Check valves ensure unidirectional flow and prevent reverse water movement, protecting fire pumps and system components.
Applications:
Fire pump outlets, vertical risers, and system connections where backflow prevention is required.
Alarm Valves
Alarm valves are essential components of wet pipe sprinkler systems. They activate visual or audible alarms when water flow is initiated due to sprinkler head operation.
Applications:
Wet pipe sprinkler installations in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings.
Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV)
Pressure reducing valves are designed to maintain controlled downstream pressure, especially in high-rise buildings with multiple pressure zones.
Applications:
High-rise fire protection systems and networks with variable pressure conditions.
Materials and Technical Standards
NAFFCO firefighting valves are manufactured using high-quality materials such as ductile iron and cast iron, with corrosion-resistant epoxy coatings. Sealing components are selected to withstand firefighting operating pressures and temperatures.
These valves are designed and tested in accordance with international standards, including compliance with requirements commonly referenced in NFPA-based fire protection systems, ensuring safety, reliability, and long service life.
Applications of NAFFCO Valves
NAFFCO firefighting valves are widely used in:
- Commercial and high-rise buildings
- Industrial facilities and warehouses
- Airports, hospitals, and public infrastructure
- Residential complexes and mixed-use developments
Their reliability and compliance make them suitable for projects that require approval from authorities having jurisdiction.
