Can not be ignored in the field of construction valve selection

In building plumbing systems, valves serve as critical control components that manage the flow of fluids. Due to variations in design, materials, and application, valves are manufactured in different types and configurations. Selecting the right valve is essential for ensuring the piping system operates at maximum efficiency, with minimal cost and extended service life. Valves perform four primary functions: starting and stopping fluid flow, regulating flow rate, preventing backflow, and controlling or relieving pressure. When choosing valves for a building's plumbing system, several factors must be considered, including temperature, type of media being transported, and system requirements. For example, in high-rise buildings, signal valves are often used for fire hydrant control. These valves are specifically designed to interface with the fire alarm system, allowing the status of the valve—whether it is open or closed—to be monitored remotely from the fire control center. Although this may increase initial costs, the added safety and reliability make it a worthwhile investment. The enhanced monitoring capability significantly improves the overall safety and performance of the fire hydrant system. The selection of valve types must always align with the specific characteristics and needs of the building. If the chosen valves do not match the system’s design and operational requirements, it can lead to inefficiencies, increased maintenance, and even potential failures. Therefore, careful planning and professional guidance are crucial in ensuring that the right valves are installed, contributing to the long-term success and safety of the entire plumbing system.
