What is a Stop valve?

A stop valve is a type of valve used to completely shut off the flow of fluids in a pipeline. It is commonly installed in pipelines to control the flow and can be used to stop the flow when necessary. Stop valves are typically used for on/off operation, ensuring safety during system shutdowns or maintenance by completely stopping the flow. For example, in a water supply system or hydraulic machinery, closing the stop valve temporarily halts the operation of the system or equipment.

Application of Stop valve

✅ Water Supply Systems

✅ Hydraulic Systems
In hydraulic equipment maintenance, a stop valve is closed to block the flow of fluid, allowing safe repairs or adjustments.
✅ Building Fire Protection Systems
In a building's fire protection system, a stop valve is used to control the water supply during an emergency or to temporarily stop the flow during maintenance.
