1'' Gate Valve in a fire fighting system is primarily used to control and isolate the water flow within the pipeline network. It operates by raising or lowering a gate (wedge) inside the valve body, providing full flow when open and tight shut-off when closed. Gate valves are ideal for applications where the valve remains either fully open or fully closed, rather than for throttling.
