How it applies to the water system
Gate valves commonly serve isolation duty; butterfly valves offer compact quarter-turn operation. Confirm throttling capability, seat compatibility and pressure rating for the actual product.
Selection and operating considerations
Consider available space, frequency of operation and maintenance access. Existing flange standards and actuator requirements can determine whether a replacement is practical.
Planning the requirement in Sabah
For a Kota Kinabalu building, plant room or water-transfer installation elsewhere in Sabah, send the valve nameplate and photographs of its pipework. Include the intended function, operating records and the connection standard so a replacement or new component can be reviewed properly.
Information to prepare
- Valve function, model and connection standard
- Normal and extreme operating flow/pressure
- Control supply, installation orientation and service access
What should I send SWFI for this requirement in Sabah?
Send the site location, source-water information, operating flow and pressure, and the equipment model or photographs where available. SWFI is based in Kota Kinabalu and can review the requested supply or service scope against the site duty.
