Fire Protection System is an authorised Sant Valves distributor in Bhopal, supplying Sant's UL Listed and FM Approved ductile iron valves for fire water pipework: resilient seated gate valves, butterfly valves with tamper switch, swing and double door check valves and Y-type strainers. Every model in this range is rated PN16, with flanged or grooved ends from 50 mm to 600 mm.

Where to use UL Listed / FM Approved Valves

  • Sprinkler installation control and isolation valves
  • Fire hydrant ring mains and yard hydrant pipework
  • Fire pump suction and delivery headers in pump rooms
  • Non return duty on fire pump discharge lines
  • Wet risers and downcomers in high rise buildings
  • Grooved sprinkler and hydrant pipework
  • Strainer protection ahead of fire pumps and control valves
  • Projects where the consultant or insurer specifies UL or FM listed valves

How to choose

Start with the job the valve has to do. Gate and butterfly valves isolate a section of pipe, check valves stop water flowing back when a pump stops, and Y-type strainers catch debris before it reaches pumps and valves. All models on this page have a ductile iron body to grade EN-GJS-450-10, a working pressure of PN16 (the nominal pressure class, the number being the rating in bar), a 0°C to 100°C temperature range and fusion bonded epoxy coating to ANSI/AWWA C550.

For gate valves, decide between non rising stem (NRS) and outside screw and yoke (OS&Y). On an NRS valve the stem turns without rising, which keeps the valve compact for pits and tight spaces; the Z45XC-2 adds a post flange on top for an indicator post. On an OS&Y valve the stem rises as the valve opens, so anyone can see at a glance whether it is open or shut. Resilient seated means the wedge seals on a rubber face rather than a metal seat.

Next pick the end connection. Flanged gate valves, check valves and strainers have flanges to BS EN 1092-2:1997 and run up to 600 mm on some models. Grooved models have grooves to ISO 6182 and join with grooved couplings, from 50 mm to 300 mm. Butterfly valves come as wafer (clamped between flanges), lugged wafer or grooved, all to design standard BS EN 593 with an ISO 5211 top flange for gearboxes and actuators, and each carries a tamper switch: a supervisory switch that lets the fire alarm panel know when the valve is moved from its open position.

Approvals differ from model to model, so check the certificate line for each one. The gate valves, the H84X check valve and the XD371XL butterfly valve are UL Listed and FM Approved, the H44X2 check valve adds LPCB approval, the XD371X and XD381X butterfly valves add VdS approval, and the DH77X check valve and V4 and V8 strainers are UL Listed. FPS supplies and installs every model here in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh.

Frequently asked questions

What does UL Listed or FM Approved mean on a Sant valve?
It means the model has been tested and certified for fire protection service by UL or by FM Approvals. Sant states the certification for each model, for example UL Listed / FM Approved (EX 15973) on its NRS gate valves, and consultants and insurers often ask for it on sprinkler and hydrant systems.
Which Sant valves carry UL and FM approval together?
The Z45XC, Z45XC-2 and Z85X NRS gate valves, the XZ41X and XZ81X OS&Y gate valves, the H44X2 and H84X swing check valves and the XD371XL, XD371X and XD381X butterfly valves with tamper switch. The DH77X double door check valve and the V4 and V8 Y-type strainers are UL Listed.
Should I choose an NRS or an OS&Y gate valve?
An OS&Y valve shows its position by how far the stem has risen, which makes open or shut easy to check on an inspection round. An NRS valve is more compact, and the Z45XC-2 version has a post flange for fitting an indicator post.
Why do these butterfly valves have a tamper switch?
The tamper switch reports to the fire alarm panel when the valve is turned away from open, so a closed valve on a sprinkler or hydrant line does not go unnoticed. Sant offers it on wafer, lugged wafer and grooved butterfly valves from 50 mm to 300 mm.
Flanged or grooved: which end connection should I use?
Use flanged valves (BS EN 1092-2:1997) where the pipework is flanged, and grooved valves (ISO 6182) where the pipe is joined with grooved couplings. Grooved Sant models run from 50 mm to 300 mm, and several flanged models go larger.
How do I get a price for Sant UL and FM valves?
