Fire suppression & PDV

Fire system valve actuation you can prove

Quarter-turn valves on suppression, sprinkler and priority demand valve systems — where proof that the valve will move, and evidence of how it moved last time, supports compliance and confidence.

A valve that must work on the one day it matters

Fire system valves can sit unused for years. Seized seats and unknown condition are unacceptable when life safety depends on a single movement.

Typical applications

Priority demand valves (PDV)
Sprinkler isolation
Deluge systems
Fire mains
Domestic & fire water separation

How RIFT helps: Fire suppression & PDV

Priority demand valves

RAS and RAM SMART actuators provide compact, reliable PDV actuation for multi-level buildings.

Movement evidence

Cycle history and movement data show how the valve behaved on its last operation.

Integrated manual override

Every unit can be operated manually during power loss.

Exercise without disruption

Wiggle routines keep valves free without interrupting normal control.

Fire suppression: the RAT platform for this market

Reliable quarter-turn actuation for fire system valves where knowing the valve will move — and how it moved last time — matters.

Frequently asked questions

What is a PDV?

A priority demand valve shuts off domestic water supply when the sprinkler system calls for water, ensuring fire flow takes priority. RIFT actuators automate that valve.
