A deluge valve is a critical component of the deluge system used in fire protection services. During fire events, deluge valves are activated quickly and deliver a large volume of water over the protected area to extinguish the fire for protecting life and property. Because of this, deluge valves are known as the heart of a deluge system.
What are Deluge Valves? Deluge systems deliver large quantities of water, over a large area, in a relatively short period of time. They are commonly used in fixed fire protection systems whose pipe system is empty until the deluge valve distributes pressurised water from open nozzles or sprinklers.
A Deluge system (automatic High Velocity Water Spray System) is a fixed fire protection system, which totally floods an area with pressurized water through a system of piping with open nozzles & sprinklers.
Consisting of unpressurized dry piping and open sprinkler heads, the deluge system is directly connected to a water supply and upon activation, a deluge valve releases the water to all the open sprinkler heads simultaneously.

Deluge valve is a quick release, hydraulically operated diaphragm valve. It has three chambers, isolated from each other by the diaphragm operated clapper and seat seal.
Deluge and preaction valves are for systems designed to protect an area with extra hazards or with contents highly sensitive to water exposure. Benefits. External Reset. Save time and effort with no need to remove the diaphragm cover. Higher Pressure Rating and Lower Pressure Drop.
