When is Low-Suction Valve Req'd for Fire Pump? - MeyerFire
2022年12月8日 · When the pump could cause cavitation on the main by pulling too much water out of it and reducing the residual pressure below 20 psi, you need low suction control. Or some jurisdictions, like Arkansas, require low suction control on every fire pump.
50B-5KG - Cla-Val
The Model 50B-5KG Pump Suction Control Valve is designed specifically for Fire Pump Suction Control Service in onshore industrial applications such as refineries and manufacturing facilities. Sizes 3-inch through 10-inch with standard disc guides are FM approved.
Fire protection pumps: Updates to NFPA 20 | Consulting
2013年6月25日 · Low suction throttling (pump suction control) valves: Low suction throttling valves are installed in the primary water path to prevent the suction pressure from falling below a preset pressure. These valves are pilot operated and have a sensing line connected from the fire pump suction to the back side of the diaphragm.

2024年4月17日 · Pressure Regulating Valves: The use of direct and indirect acting PRV’s allow the regulation of pressure at specific points within the system or systemwide with a master piloted valve. Pumps: Fire pumps increase the system pressure and the use of pumps with specifically designated curves, variable speed pumps or multiple pumps allowing for ...
Fire Protection Pressure Reducing & Pressure Relief Valves General representation This valve prevents the fire pump from outdrawing the available supply. It protects the pump suction supply from damage associated with low pressure and assures adequate supply pressure to the fire system components. OCV.108FPS.FP.CAT.EN.0823 Description Features ...
Fire Pump Suction Control Valve - Zurn
The ZW215FP Fire Pump Suction Control Valve, with grooved connections, is used to control suction pressure for Fire Suppression Systems to prevent fire pumps from over-drawing from the water supply, causing damage to the pump or supply network due to low or negative pressures on the fire pump suction side.
FP-42T-20 Fire Pump Control and Check Valve - BERMAD
The BERMAD model 42T-20 is an elastomeric, hydraulically operated, self actuated Non Return Fire Pump Pressure Control Valve, designed for advanced fire protection systems meeting the NFPA-20 guidelines. The 42T-20 is used for controlling the flow and pressure at the pump discharge, performing also as a non return check valve.
