Rapidrop Valve is a manually operated, outside screw & yoke resilient seat gate valve designed for use in fire protection systems for on/off operation only. The lightweight ductile iron body allows for easier handling and reduced shipping costs. Valves are suitable for both vertical and horizontal installation. Valve components are corrosion resistant or coated with a thermally applied fusion-bonded epoxy. The EPDM encapsulated ductile iron wedge with a compression mechanism is designed to achieve water tight sealing and low torque operation. The stem is pre notched to accommodate OSY2 limit switch.
