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 Boston. 300 psi working pressure. Full NFPA 13 compliance and Boston Fire Department (BFD) acceptance under 780 CMR Massachusetts State Building Code.
Technical reference for Boston sprinkler contractors and fire pump installers at Logan Airport (BOS), Raytheon Waltham, Prudential Tower and MIT. 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.
