Gated Wye Quarter Turn Valve

We know that fireground water distribution can be a challenge. That’s why our Gated Wye Valves are designed to help you quickly and efficiently split a single hose line into two, giving your crew the flexibility to direct water exactly where it’s needed. Whether you’re setting up attack lines or defensive streams, our Wyes make it easy to control water flow to multiple locations from a single source. With options like quarter-turn folding handles for quick operation or slow-close handles to prevent water hammer, these valves are built to handle the pressures of your firefighting operations.
