UNIVAL gate valves are UL 262 Listed and FM 1120 Approved. TFS accepts listed gate valves with factory submittal, OBC 3.2.5 compliance letter and NFPA 13 Chapter 16 documentation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I need OS&#038;Y or butterfly on my sprinkler riser?<\/strong> Both are listed alternatives per NFPA 13 Section 16.9.3. OS&#038;Y provides visual OPEN\/SHUT indication via rising stem; listed grooved butterfly with integral tamper provides position indication via lever. Toronto common practice uses OS&#038;Y on fire pump room and main risers; grooved butterfly on zone isolation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What working pressure do I need for high-rise standpipe?<\/strong> NFPA 14 requires 150 psi minimum at highest outlet with total system pressure often exceeding 250 psi in tall buildings. UVG-OSY-6F-HP 300 psi satisfies lower-zone high-rise standpipe isolation in Toronto tall buildings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resilient wedge vs metal-seated?<\/strong> AWWA C515 resilient wedge provides tighter seal, easier operation and longer service life for buried potable\/fire service applications. AWWA C509 metal-seated is legacy standard. UVG-NRS series defaults to C515 resilient wedge; C509 available on request.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the delivery time to Toronto?<\/strong> Stock UVG-OSY-4F, UVG-OSY-6F and UVG-OSY-8F ship 1 to 2 weeks.
