Grooved OS&Y Gate Valve

End Connection

Bolted flange connection

Mechanical grooved coupling

Piping Interface

Matching pipe flanges

Compatible grooved pipe ends and couplings

Connection Verification

Flange dimensions, bolt pattern, facing, and pressure class

Groove dimensions, coupling compatibility, and pressure rating

Installation Requirements

Flange alignment, gasket selection, and bolt assembly

Groove preparation, gasket selection, and coupling assembly

Typical Selection Basis

Piping systems designed for flanged connections

Piping systems designed for grooved connections

Final valve selection should follow the approved piping design and the connection requirements of adjoining components.

NONFIR fire protection gate valves undergo hydrostatic testing before shipment. The valve body and sealing performance are verified under the specified test pressure with a minimum 2-minute holding time according to the applicable standards.
Operation Testing
Each valve is checked for opening and closing operation to verify smooth movement of the stem, gate, and operating mechanism.
Leakage Inspection
Valve sealing performance is inspected to identify leakage issues before shipment.
Traceability and Inspection Records
Applicable production and inspection records can be provided according to project requirements, including product identification, test information, and quality documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

Q: Can NONFIR OS&Y gate valves be fitted with supervisory switches?

A: A supervisory switch must be compatible with the selected NONFIR valve's stem and yoke arrangement. Confirm the mounting dimensions and switch model before installation.

Q: How much installation clearance does an OS&Y gate valve require?

A: Allow sufficient space above the handwheel for the stem to rise fully, with access for operation and maintenance. Required clearance depends on the selected valve's dimensions.

Q: Can OS&Y gate valves be installed vertically or horizontally?

A: Installation orientation depends on the valve design and piping arrangement. The stem position, pipe support, and operating access must be checked against the selected model's installation instructions.

Q: Can NONFIR OS&Y gate valves replace valves from other manufacturers?

A: Replacement requires matching face-to-face dimensions, connection geometry, pressure rating, and project approval requirements. Identical nominal sizes do not guarantee a direct fit.

Q: Are NONFIR OS&Y gate valves suitable for underground installation?

A: Underground service requires a valve configuration designed for burial and accessible operation. Our standard OS&Y configurations should not be assumed suitable for direct burial without model-specific confirmation.

Q: Can OS&Y gate valves be used in seawater or corrosive environments?

A: Suitability depends on the valve's body material, protective coating, stem, and seals. Standard fire-water configurations should not be specified for corrosive service without checking material compatibility.

Q: Can an OS&Y gate valve regulate water flow?

A: OS&Y gate valves are intended primarily for fully open or fully closed isolation service. Continuous throttling is not recommended unless the specific valve is designed and rated for it.

Q: How can operators identify the position of an OS&Y gate valve?

A: The rising stem provides a visible indication of valve position. A raised stem generally indicates an open valve, while a lowered stem generally indicates a closed valve.

Q: What should be checked before returning an OS&Y gate valve to service after maintenance?

A: Confirm that the valve operates freely, is restored to its required normal position, and that any supervisory switch functions correctly. Follow the approved fire protection system inspection and restoration procedures.
