What Are Fire Protection Butterfly Valves?

1. Firstly, fire fighting butterfly valve namely the Fire Protection Grooved Butterfly Valve according to its features and functions.
2. Butterfly valves control water flow in fire protection systems through the operation of a rotating disc inside the valve body.
3. The circular disc pivots on its center axis, similar to the flapping motion of a butterfly’s wings.
4. When the disc is aligned parallel with the pipe, it allows full water flow through the open valve.
5. Rotating the disc 90 degrees causes the disc edge to seal against the valve body, stopping flow.
6. The disc can also be positioned at intermediate angles to throttle or restrict water flow.
7. This adjustable disc makes butterfly valves well-suited for both on-off and flow regulation applications in fire suppression pipelines and sprinkler systems.
8. The disc sealing action provides positive shutoff while still enabling quick, reliable control of water movement.

Fire Sprinkler Butterfly Valves Quitely Differ To The Fire Fighting Types

As warmly tips from Fluid Tech Group, we will explain you the difference between both of butterfly valves.

Fire sprinkler butterfly valves:

Specifically designed for use in automatic fire sprinkler systems within buildings.

• Typically rated for lower pressures suitable for sprinkler systems (175 psi).
• Located within the sprinkler piping network, often in overhead locations.
• Tend to be smaller sizes like 2-6 inches.
• Require actuation mechanisms for remote opening and control.
• Must meet NFPA 13 standards for sprinkler system valves.

Fire fighting butterfly valves:

• More broadly used in any water-based firefighting system including hydrants, standpipes, etc.
• Higher pressure ratings for municipal water pressures (250+ psi).
• Larger valve sizes like 6-12 inches are common.
• May be manually operated with a handwheel or lever rather than remote actuation.
• Must meet additional standards like NFPA 24 for fire service mains.
