What are the valves used in the water supply pipeline?

The water supply pipeline is the pipeline mainly used for water supply, and in order to allow the water supply pipeline to better meet the needs of users, the valve plays an important role in it. Next, I will introduce to you the main valves commonly used in water supply pipelines.

1. Butterfly valve: Butterfly valve is a kind of regulating valve with a relatively simple structure, and it is also a valve commonly used in water supply pipelines. The advantage of the butterfly valve is that it is small in size and light in weight, so it is easy to install and operate; this kind of valve also opens and closes very quickly and has low flow resistance.

2. Gate valve: The gate valve is mainly used to cut off the flow of water in the water supply pipeline, and is suitable for use in the water supply pipeline that needs to be normally open or normally closed. The gate valve can realize the bidirectional flow of water in the water supply pipeline; in the fully open state, the erosion it is subjected to is less than that of the stop valve. Gate valves can be divided into parallel gate valves, wedge gate valves, rising stem gate valves and other types.

3. Ball valve: This valve is a one-way valve. Compared with gate valve, its structure and maintenance are changed to simple. Due to the relatively short opening or closing stroke of the globe valve stem, the globe valve has a very reliable cut-off function; its wear resistance and high temperature resistance are outstanding; the globe valve valve is very suitable for cutting off in water supply pipelines and regulating water flow.

4. Check valve: Check valve is also known as one-way valve, check valve or back pressure valve. This kind of valve is an automatic valve, which usually relies on the flow of water itself in the water supply pipeline to generate force, so as to automatically open and close. In the water supply pipeline, the check valve is mainly used to prevent the backflow of water.

There are many valves used in water supply pipelines. The above are several commonly used valves in water supply pipelines. Hope that through the above introduction, you can improve your understanding of the content.
