Common Types of Valves Used in Water Supply Systems
This article analyzes the five core valve types in water supply systems and their applications: ball valves (reliable sealing, fast opening and closing, suitable for shutting off small and medium-sized pipes); butterfly valves (lightweight and easy to operate, primarily used for regulating high flow rates); gate valves (durable, full-bore design, used for opening and closing main pipelines); check valves (prevent backflow of media, ensuring pump safety); and control valves (precise flow and pressure control, suitable for precision water supply scenarios). Proper valve selection can enhance system efficiency and water supply safety.
