Butterfly Valve (Manual Type)
A manually operated butterfly valve for isolating sections of a fire hydrant or sprinkler main. A quarter-turn of the handle rotates the internal disc from fully open to fully closed, which allows a section to be shut down quickly for maintenance or repair without draining the entire network. Compact in comparison with gate valves of the same bore, making it practical in tight pipe runs and pump house manifolds.
