NORMALLY OPEN VALVE (NO)
• Normally Open Valve design: Stays open without applied pressure.
• Requires air pressure for closure.
• Loss of air pressure triggers automatic opening of the valve.
• Automatically releases any stored water pressure for safety purposes.
THE ADVANTAGESS OF THE NORMALLY CLOSED VALVE (NC)
• Normally Closed Valve design: Remains closed without applied pressure.
• Requires air pressure to initiate opening.
• Holds water pressure within the system if air pressure is lost.
• Ensures containment of water pressure for safety in the absence of air pressure.
