Details :
A 1.5-inch UL-listed right-angle valve is a critical component primarily used in fire protection and standpipe systems to control water flow to fire hoses. Built under strict UL 668 safety standards, these heavy-duty valves are engineered to withstand extreme pressures and prevent water leakage or component failure during emergency operations.
Key Specifications & Features
Material: Built almost exclusively from heavy-duty cast or forged brass (or DZR brass) to provide excellent corrosion resistance against stagnant water.
Pressure Ratings: Standard models support working pressures up to 300 PSI, though specialized Pressure Restricting Valves (PRV) are rated up to 175 PSI to safely lower downstream pressure according to NFPA regulations.
Connection Types:
Female NPT x Male NST: The inlet connects to the building’s rigid water supply piping via a Female National Pipe Thread (FNPT), while the outlet features a Male National Standard Thread (MNST) to connect directly to standard fire hoses.
Female NPT x Female NPT (Double Female): Used when connecting inline or transitioning to specific pipe fittings.
