Pre-action valves offer several advantages when used in fire protection systems, including:

Minimizing water damage

Pre-action valves help minimize water damage in areas where water damage can be as dangerous as fire damage. They activate only when a fire is detected, preventing accidental activation and water damage.

Early detection

Pre-action valves require two triggers to activate, which means they provide early detection of fires. The first trigger is the detection of smoke or heat, and the second trigger is the activation of the sprinkler head. This provides an additional layer of protection and can help prevent fires from spreading.

Increased safety

Pre-action valves increase safety by preventing the accidental activation of the sprinkler system. This can be especially important in areas where water damage can be dangerous or in areas where the activation of the sprinkler system can cause panic.

Customizable activation

Pre-action valves can be customized to activate in different ways, depending on the needs of the system. For example, Gate Valve fire protection manufacturer can be set to activate only in specific areas or at specific times of the day.

Compliance with regulations

In some cases, pre-action valves may be required by local or national regulations. Using pre-action valves can help ensure compliance with these regulations and avoid potential fines or penalties.

Overall, pre-action valves provide an additional layer of protection and can help minimize water damage, increase safety, and comply with regulations.
