Industrial organizations often use plumbing fittings in their practice. This system is designed to regulate the pressure and flow of water, the pressure in which is created by the action of a pump driven by an electric motor. Plumbing fittings are classified according to three types of purpose: mixing, safety and shut-off.
Pipeline valves are designed to shut off the water supply system, gas flow and create full or partial tightness in it. The most common types of such fittings can be found in water supply, drainage and heating systems. Pipeline shut-off valves consist of the following main parts: valves, gate valves, taps.
Valves are mechanisms that are installed on shut-off valves that allow you to regulate and create the required pressure in the pipeline. According to their functions, valves can be divided into shut-off, check, control, safety. For precise regulation of the water flow, the pipeline shut-off valves have valves with an electric motor, which are controlled by intelligent automation.
Cocks, unlike valves, have mainly a regulating function. They are arranged from the body, a spherical, conical valve is placed in it, by rotating the handle on the body, the water pressure decreases, the water pressure increases, and its flow is completely blocked. By the nature of their work, they are divided into manual or automated drives.
Pipeline valves are subdivided into one more type of device, its name is a gate valve. The essential difference of this mechanism is that it does not carry the regulating function of water pressure, and its main purpose is to open or shut off the flow of water in the system. It consists of a valve, which is operated by a manual, electric, mechanical drive. The main advantage of this device is its simplicity and low price.
