Valve Selection Guidelines for Modern Municipal Urban Water Supply Infrastructure

2026 08/03

Municipal water supply infrastructure is the core foundation of urban operation. With the continuous upgrading of urban pipe networks worldwide, the rational selection of water supply valves has become a key factor ensuring pipeline safety, stable water delivery and low maintenance costs.
In modern water supply projects, resilient seated gate valves and butterfly valves are the most widely used main products. Resilient gate valves provide zero leakage isolation and low flow resistance, ideal for buried water transmission pipelines. Butterfly valves feature a compact structure and lightweight design, suitable for large-diameter pipelines and pumping stations, and can be easily equipped with electric or pneumatic actuators for automatic control.
Supporting valves including check valves and air release valves also play an indispensable role. Check valves effectively prevent backflow and protect water pumps, while air release valves eliminate internal air pressure and avoid water hammer damage.
For municipal drinking water projects, ductile iron valve bodies with anti-corrosion treatment and food-grade EPDM sealing are the mainstream configuration, meeting international water supply safety standards and ensuring long-term stable service.
With the upgrading of smart water cities, automatic valves are increasingly applied in new urban projects, helping realize remote monitoring and precise pipeline management.
