The Waterous drain valve provides a convenient means of draining your fire pump and related equipment after each operation. Design permits simultaneous draining of at least eight lines. Rated up to 600 PSI (41.4 bar), the Waterous Drain Valve can be fitted to drain high-pressure fire pumps.
The drain valve consists of a stainless-steel sliding plunger in a bronze body and are offered in Panel or Remote Mounted version.
Panel Mounted Drain Valve
The panel mounted valve is horizontally mounted on the pump operator’s panel.
Remote Mounted Valve
The remote mounted valve is vertically mounted on the pump transmission, or at a remote location and is operated by a flexible cable from the pump control panel.
This valve is designed so that discharge pressure will act on the plunger to keep the valve closed when the valve has been manually closed. The correct installation procedure and the correct drain connections must be made for the valve to function properly.
