2.11 Valves for Water Distribution

Practical Experience Part 1 by Engr. Roger De Dios 109

VALVES
Valves up to and including 51 mm in size shall be brass or other
approved materials. Sizes over 51 mm may have cast iron or brass
bodies. Each gate valve shall be a full way type with working parts of
non-corrosive materials

Common Valves can be categorized into the following application:

Ball valve - for on/off control without pressure drop, and ideal for quick
shut-off, since a 90° turn offers complete shut-off angle, compared to
multiple turns required on most manual valves.
Butterfly valve- for flow regulation in large pipe diameters.
Check valve- or non-return valve, allows the fluid to pass in one
direction only.
Gate valve - mainly for on/off control, with low pressure drop.
Globe valve - good for regulating flow.

Practical Experience Part 1 by Engr. Roger De Dios 110

The two principal types of valves used to stop the flow of water in water
supply systems are gate valves and globe valves. A gate valve is
operated by raising and lowering the double-faced wedge-shaped gate.
When the valve is closed, the two faces of the gate are tightly pressed
against the seats, thus effecting a double seal.

The chief advantages of a gate valve are its tight seal and
full size straightway opening, which offers no greater resistance to the
flow of water than would an ordinary pipe coupling or other fitting of
equal length.

Globe Valves
The type of valve most commonly used for water supply systems is the
globe valve This type of valve has an inlet and outlet end, and a valve
disk, a, that closes against the pressure.

The principal objections to the use of globe valves are, that the opening,
through the seat of the valve is never the full area of the corresponding
size of pipe, and therefore not only restricts the flow but offers
considerable frictional resistance; furthermore, the opening is not
straightway, consequently it offers additional frictional resistance to the
flow of water.

Check Valves
A check valve is an automatic valve that opens to the pressure of
water on one side but closes tightly when pressure is applied to the
opposite end of the valve. Where it is necessary that water should
always flow in one direction and there is a possibility of a reverse flow, a
check valve should be used. There are two common types of check
valves; lift check valves, and swing check valves.

Practical Experience Part 1 by Engr. Roger De Dios 116

 LIFT CHECK VALVE
Practical Experience Part 1 by Engr. Roger De Dios 117
Swing Check Valve
It derives its name from the fact that the metal flap, a, yielding to the
pressure of water, swings on the pivot, b, and thus presents a
straightway opening for the flow of water. This type of check valve
compares with the lift check valve about as a gate valve compares with
a globe valve. The swing check valve offers less resistance to the flow of
water through it and has a straightway opening of almost the full size of
the valve. In the lift check valve, on the contrary, the water must pass
through a reduced opening in the valve seat and must make two right
angle turns while doing so.

 SWING CHECK VALVE

Practical Experience Part 1 by Engr. Roger De Dios 119

Angle Valves
A type of valve much used for controlling the water supply to separate
fixtures .It is known as an angle valve and is a modification of the globe
valve. The openings to an angle valve are at right angles to each other so
that the valve can serve the dual purpose of controlling the water and
changing the direction of the pipe. Angle valves are made with metal
seats and with seats of soft materials, the latter being the better kind for
use on water supplies.
