Deluge Valve

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 piping system remains empty until the deluge valve distributes pressurized water from open nozzles or sprinklers.

Deluge systems contain more components and equipment than wet and dry piping systems. Therefore, they are more complex. Detection systems can include heat, smoke, ultraviolet (UV) or infrared (IR) radiation.
