Fire protection systems require carefully selected components that can perform reliably when they are needed most. Valves are an essential part of these systems, controlling, isolating and directing the flow of water throughout fire protection networks.

At LEOCO Group, we offer a range of Fire Protection Valves designed for different fire protection piping configurations and project requirements.

Our Fire Protection Valve Range

Our fire protection valve portfolio includes several commonly required valve types for fire protection systems, including:

Fire Butterfly Valve

Fire Butterfly Valves are used for flow isolation in fire protection piping systems. Their compact design makes them suitable for various installation environments where space and accessibility are important.

Fire Grooved Check Valve

Grooved Check Valves are designed to help prevent reverse flow within fire protection piping systems. The grooved connection provides a practical installation solution for compatible piping systems.

Flanged Check Valve

Flanged Check Valves provide a flanged connection and are used where prevention of reverse flow is required within the fire protection network.

Fire OS&Y Gate Valve – Flanged

OS&Y (Outside Screw & Yoke) Gate Valves are commonly used for isolation applications. The flanged version provides a traditional flanged connection for compatible fire protection piping systems.

Fire OS&Y Gate Valve – Grooved

The grooved OS&Y Gate Valve provides the same general isolation function while using a grooved connection, offering installation flexibility for grooved fire protection piping systems.

NRS Gate Valve – Flanged

NRS, or Non-Rising Stem, Gate Valves provide a compact valve configuration for fire protection applications where a rising stem arrangement may not be preferred.

Grooved Alarm Check Valve

Alarm Check Valves are an important component in wet-pipe fire sprinkler systems. They help control water flow and support the operation of the alarm arrangement when water begins flowing through the sprinkler system.

Deluge Valve

Deluge Valves are used in specialized fire protection systems where rapid delivery of water is required across multiple open sprinklers or nozzles.

Pressure Ratings for Fire Protection Projects

Fire protection systems can have different design and pressure requirements depending on the application, piping network and project specifications.

LEOCO Group offers fire protection valve solutions across different nominal pressure requirements, helping customers source suitable valve configurations for their specific projects.

The required pressure rating, connection type, valve size and applicable approval/specification should always be confirmed against the project requirements before ordering.

Choosing the Right Fire Protection Valve

When preparing a fire protection valve enquiry, it is useful to provide:

Valve Type + Size + Connection + Pressure Rating + Quantity + Required Specification

For example, a project enquiry might specify a Fire Butterfly Valve, Grooved Check Valve, Flanged OS&Y Gate Valve or Deluge Valve, together with its required size and pressure rating.

Providing complete information helps make the procurement process faster and more accurate.

Fire Protection Valve Solutions from LEOCO Group

From Fire Butterfly Valves and Grooved Check Valves to OS&Y Gate Valves, NRS Gate Valves, Alarm Check Valves and Deluge Valves, LEOCO Group provides a broad selection of fire protection valve solutions for industrial and building fire protection applications.

Our focus is to help contractors, EPC companies, consultants and procurement teams source the valve configurations required for their projects.

Protecting What Matters

A fire protection system is only as effective as the components selected for it. Proper valve selection, correct installation and compliance with the applicable project requirements are essential to building a dependable fire protection network.
