Valves for residential developments: what the developer buys

Developers buy valves for several different systems, often from different suppliers against different schedules. One supplier for site networks and plant rooms saves time and money.

Site networks

Water and sewer networks for the development and heating mains from the connection point to the buildings: resilient-seated gate valves, butterfly valves and welded ball valves for heating.

Plant rooms

Heat substations, booster pump stations and water meter assemblies: ball valves, butterfly valves, check valves and strainers.

Fire water

Fire mains and fire pump stations need valves with documents that meet fire safety rules.

One schedule

Send the network and plant room sections of the design and TAZ will merge them into one schedule, suggest size standardisation and deliver in batches to the construction programme.
