Distribution pipes are provided with some
accessories so as to make the distribution of
water easy.

VALVES
LSAD
Diaphragm valves
Very simple
hand wheel often used to apply pressure to diaphragm to
form seal
operate pneumatically and electrically.
Often used for corrosive, slurry, and sanitary services
VIDEO 4
Types of valves
Isolation Valves
Float valves : VIDEO 5
Control liquid level
Prevent tank overfilling
Operated mechanically by a float that rests on top of the liquid; as the level
rises, it pushes the float up and closes the valve
LSAD
Gate valves : VIDEO 6
A sliding disk slides up and
down in and out off the fluid
Good for high pressure drop
and high temperature
applications where
operation is infrequent
Manual operation
Types of valves
Globe valves : VIDEO 7
A conical plug moves in and out of the fluid
Can be used for shutoff high pressure drop
LSAD
Types of valves
Switching Valves
Converge and divert flow in a piping system
Usually 3-way valves used because they can take the place of 2 2-way valves
3-way valves are usually ball, plug, or globe design
2 butterfly valves mounted on a pipe tee will also work and is cost-effective for
large pipes
