Series 145: UL/FM Gate Valve for Fire Protection 2.5”- 8”
Series 145 is AVK’s gate valve designed specifically for indoor fire protection applications. By focusing their design effort on meeting stringent UL/ULC and FM requirements, AVK engineers have created a gate valve with lighter weight and unique features for fire protection. Series 145 Gate Valves are made of ductile iron and have a 250 PSI rated working pressure. They are available in both NRS and OS&Y configurations, with flanged, grooved, and flanged x grooved ends, in sizes 2½" - 8"
