Dry Pipe Valve

Dry pipe valves keep sprinkler pipes filled with pressurized air or nitrogen until activated by fire. They ensure rapid water delivery upon sprinkler activation while protecting pipes from freezing conditions in fire protection systems.

What is a Dry Pipe Valve?

Reliable Protection for Dry Sprinkler Systems

A dry pipe valve is a specialized control valve used in fire protection systems, particularly in dry pipe sprinkler systems.
Unlike wet pipe systems, where pipes are constantly filled with water, dry pipe systems are filled with pressurized air or nitrogen.
When a fire occurs and a sprinkler activates, the air or nitrogen pressure is relieved, causing the valve to open and water to flow into the system piping and any opened sprinklers.
This design is ideal for environments where freezing temperatures could cause water-filled pipes to burst.

 

Applications:

  • Building & Construction: Installed in warehouses, parking garages, and unheated buildings where freezing is a risk.
  • Industrial Facilities: Used in cold storage warehouses, loading docks, and other facilities prone to low temperatures.
  • High-Rise Buildings: Employed in exposed areas and non-climate-controlled spaces requiring fire protection.

Benefits:

  • Freeze Protection: Prevents pipe bursts by keeping pipes dry until activation.
  • Fast Response: Quickly delivers water to sprinklers once activated, minimizing fire spread.
  • System Reliability: Ensures dependable fire protection in cold or temperature-variable environments.
  • Reduced Maintenance Risks: Limits water exposure inside pipes, lowering corrosion risks over time.
