Water Valves Installation in Malaysia
Gate valves are one of the most common types of water valves, specifically designed to control the flow of liquid by raising or lowering a gate-like barrier inside the valve. Known for their simplicity and effectiveness, gate valves are widely used across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
How Gate Valves Work: This simple mechanism makes gate valves ideal for full open or full close operations but less suitable for precise flow control.
- A gate valve operates by using a threaded stem connected to a gate (disc).
- When the stem is turned clockwise (closing), the gate lowers into the valve body, blocking water flow.
- When the stem is turned counterclockwise (opening), the gate lifts, allowing water to flow freely through the pipe.
Butterfly valves are a popular choice for systems requiring flow control in a compact, lightweight, and cost-effective design. Unlike gate valves or ball valves, butterfly valves operate using a rotating disc that pivots within the flow path to regulate fluid passage. Their design allows for precise throttling, making them ideal for applications where controlling water flow is crucial.
How Butterfly Valves Work : This efficient mechanism is why butterfly valves are often used in applications requiring rapid response times.
- The core mechanism of a butterfly valve is a disc mounted on a rotating shaft.
- When the valve is fully open, the disc aligns with the flow, allowing water to pass with minimal resistance.
- To reduce or stop flow, the disc rotates perpendicular to the flow, creating an obstruction.
- This quarter-turn operation (90-degree rotation) ensures quick opening or closing.
Check valves are essential components in plumbing and industrial systems, designed to prevent backflow and ensure that fluids flow in one direction only. Their simple, automatic operation makes them indispensable for safeguarding water quality and preventing damage to pumps, pipelines, and equipment.
How Check Valves Work : This design ensures that the system remains protected from contamination, pressure surges, and other operational issues.
- Opening Mechanism: When fluid flows in the correct direction, the internal disc, ball, or swing mechanism moves out of the way, allowing passage.
- Closing Mechanism: When the flow reverses, gravity or the system’s pressure causes the mechanism to block the passage, stopping backflow.
Introducing the First SPAN Approved 2" Ferrule Valve in Malaysia
In the dynamic landscape of the Malaysian ferrules market, the conventional offerings were limited to the sizes of 20mm (3/4″) and 25mm (1″).
