Brass Proportional Pressure Reducing Valve YB13X-16T

Common Types of Valves in Building Plumbing Systems

This article introduces six commonly used valves in building water supply systems and their functions: ball valves (easy to operate, quick to open and close, used in hot and cold water pipes), butterfly valves (compact in structure, suitable for high-flow main pipes), globe valves (low fluid resistance, capable of regulating flow), check valves (prevent backflow, protect pumps), control valves (precisely control flow), and pressure reducing valves (reduce pressure, ensure equipment safety). Engineers must select appropriate valves based on system requirements, operational characteristics, and environmental factors to ensure efficient and stable system operation.
