 VALVES

Different types of valves are commonly used:

GLOBE VALVES

GATE VALVE

BALL VALVE

BUTTERFLY VALVE

DIAPHRAGH VALVE

PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE

ZONE VALVE

 GLOBE VALVE

It is used in pipe lines for convenience in manually closing the pipes to control the
flow of water. It should be installed with water pressure under the valve seat as
shown. The globe valve has advantage of quicker opening and closing, of longer life
and of being more easily repaired.

 Depending on the type of body there are three types of globe valves:

1. “Y” TYPE GLOBE

 GATE VALVE

Gate valve is used in

pipe lines for
convenience in manually
closing the pipe. The
gate valve has an
advantage over the
globe valve in that it
offers less resistance to
flow.it is therefore used
in preference to the
globe valve where
resistance to the flow of
water is to be kept at a
minimum.it also controls
the flow equally well
from either direction.

 BALL VALVE
• A ball valve is a form of quarter-turn
valve which uses a hollow, perforated
and pivoting ball to control flow
through it.

• In open position, hole in the sphere is

in line with the pipe.

• When closed, hole in the sphere is

perpendicular to pipe.  Lever handle
operates the valve and also serves as
an indicator for whether the valve is
open or closed.

• Ball valves do not allow for precise

flow control as they usually have
positive stops(0, 45, 90 degrees), but
they do provide a very good seal in
the closed position

 BUTTERFLY VALVE
• A butterfly valve is a valve which can be used
for isolating or regulating flow.

• The closing mechanism takes the form of a

disk. Operation is similar to that of a ball
valve, which allows for quick shut off.

• It is attached to a lever handle that rotates

the disc, which adjusts the flow of water.

• Main drawback : control disc is always

present within the flow of water(even when
fully open) so there will always be a pressure
drop when using them.

• Butterfly valves are generally favored because

they are lower in cost to other valve designs
as well as being lighter in weight, meaning
less support is required.

 DIAPHRAGM VALVE
• Diaphragm valves consists
of a valve body with two or
more ports, a diaphragm,
and a "weir or saddle" or
seat upon which the
diaphragm closes the valve.
Similar to gate valve.

• In a diaphragm valve, the

element is a diaphragm
that settles down over a
saddle, thus stopping
water flow.  The
diaphragm below is a weir-
type diaphragm valve,
where water passes over a
weir.

 CHECK VALVE
• A check valve, clack valve, non-return
valve or one-way valve is a valve that
normally allows to flow through it in
only one direction. Generally not
operational.

• Back-flow preventer is a type of check

valve. A ball-check valve uses a ball to
stop the flow of water in wrong
direction. A diaphragm-check valve has
a rotating disc or rubber flap that is
pushed to seal the opening in the event
of flow in the wrong direction.

• A stop-check valve is operational and

allows a user to completely stop all flow
– even flow in the correct direction. It
will not allow backward flow when
open.

 PUSH VALVE
• A pressure-balanced valve provides
water at nearly constant temperature
to a shower or bathtub, despite
pressure fluctuations in either the hot
or cold supply lines.

• Diaphragm within the valve allows the

operator to set mixing of hot and cold
water

• Many jurisdictions require pressure

balanced valves in domestic
bathrooms and showers to prevent
accidental scalding If,

• for example, someone flushes a toilet

while the shower is in use.

 PLUMBING FIXTURES
A plumbing fixture is an exchangeable device which can be connected to a plumbing
system to deliver and drain water.

 TAPS
Taps are provided at the end of the water pipe to draw-off water from the pipe. Taps
are normally a screw down type and opens in an anticlockwise direction. Tap water is
water supplied to a tap. Its uses include drinking, washing, cooking, and the flushing
of toilets.

Material use in manufacturing of water

taps:- Brass, an alloy of copper , steel and
zinc, is the most widely used material for
tap due to its resistance to soft-water
corrosion and hard-water calcification. It
usually contains some alloying elements—
like bismuth—to make it easier to process.

flow together, before pouring out of a single spout.

 SHOWERS

A shower is a place in
which a person bathes
under a spray of
typically warm or hot
water. Indoors, there is
a drain in the floor.
Most showers have
temperature, spray
pressure and
adjustable showerhead
nozzle.
