Butterfly valves are widely used in fire protection systems due to their compact design, quick operation, and reliability. Common installation locations include:
Main Water Supply Lines – Installed at the system inlet to control water flow into the fire protection network.
Fire Sprinkler Systems – Used as alarm valves or zone control valves to isolate sections for maintenance or testing.
Fire Pumps & Risers – Positioned near pumps and risers to regulate pressure and flow.
Standpipe Systems – Installed at key points to manage water distribution in high-rise buildings.
Underground & Storage Tank Connections – Controls water supply from tanks or municipal lines.
