ValveAtlas supplies UL Listed and FM Approved grooved-end ball valves (UVBG-050, UVBG-065, UVBG-080, UVBG-100, UVBG-150 and UVBG-200) in DN50 through DN200 (2″ through 8″) with bronze or ductile iron body, hard-chrome plated brass ball, PTFE seats and lever or gear-operator to fire protection contractors and mechanical subs across London. 300 psi working pressure. Full NFPA 13 compliance and London Fire Brigade (LFB) acceptance under Approved Document B and BS 9990.
Technical reference for London sprinkler contractors and fire pump installers at Heathrow (LHR), The Shard, Canary Wharf and Imperial College London. Grooved-end ball valve is the preferred isolation valve for fire pump test header, sprinkler branch isolation and small-line standpipe drain where full-port flow and bubble-tight shutoff are required. Faster installation than flanged ball valves with matching performance.
