Description
THREE WAY GAUGE VALVES
This 1/4 in. NPT durable Bronze Three Way Valve streamlines air and water pressure monitoring for water-based fire protection systems. Rotating the Cast Iron Handwheel closes and/or opens the valve, allowing for speedy installation and use of pressure gauges for pressure testing and monitoring in dry-pipe and wet-pipe fire sprinkler systems. This valve is suitable as a trim valve for inspection and monitoring of static or residual pressure, where quick identification of unusual levels of pressure aids in preventing costly or dangerous false alarms or failed sprinkler activation. It features three 1/4 in. NPT (National Pipe Thread) connections, with a Cast Iron Handwheel and a Water Oil Gas pressure of 300 WOG.
The 1/4” three-way NPT female threaded valve is used to simplify the installation of sprinkler system pressure gauges. With the valve having the design of one inlet and two outlets, this allows for replacement of the system gauge without shutting down the water supply to the sprinkler system. This arrangement allows an inspector to test system pressure with another gauge through the second outlet. The second outlet is typically plugged during installation with a 1/4” NPT pipe plug.
