Angle Hose Valve

EMACO Angle Hose Valve is a type of valve used in standpipe and hydrant systems. It provides an outlet for firefighters to connect fire hoses and use water from the standpipe during firefighting.

The valve is built in a 90° angle style. This allows the user to connect hose easily for quick use of fire hoses for firefighting. The valve is controlled using the hand wheel mounted on top of the valve. Turning the hand wheel lifts the internal stem and seat, allowing water to flow through the valve to the connected fire hose. The user can control the water flow simply by adjusting the valve opening.

Angle hose valves are a standard component of hyrdant and standpipe fire protection systems. They act as the outlet connection point for firefighters to connect hoses to a building or premises’s firefighting water system.

These valves are commonly used in places:

• Commercial and residential buildings
  
• High-rise buildings and stair landings
  
• Industrial premises
  
• Warehouses and storage buildings
  
• Parking areas
  
• Standpipe and wet riser systems
  
• Hydrant and hose rack assemblies

The valve body is made from brass. This provides durability and corrosion resistance, which is important to ensure it operates reliably during an emergency.
