Full NFPA 13 compliance and London Fire Brigade (LFB) acceptance under Approved Document B and BS 9990.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UNIVAL UVBG product range for London projects<\/h2>\n<p>UVBG-050 through UVBG-200 covers 2&#8243; through 8&#8243; grooved ends per AWWA C606 grooving dimensions. Body is ASTM B584 cast bronze (small sizes) or ASTM A536 ductile iron (large sizes) with red epoxy coating. Ball is hard-chrome plated brass with full-port bore. Seats are reinforced PTFE for bubble-tight shutoff.
