Valves and
Appurtenances
Types of Valves
Air Valves
Control Valves
Pressure Relief Valves
Pressure Reducing Valves
Air Valves
Slide Gate
Used to let water
into gravity pipeline,
usually from
irrigation canal.
Control mechanism
is disk or plate
sliding over pipe
opening.
Check Valves
In-line back flow
prevention valve.
Generally used to
prevent surge at
pumps and to
maintain water
column in pipelines.

Butterfly Valve
In-line distribution
valve
Control mechanism is
a rotating disk inside
of valve housing.
Ball Valve
In-line distribution
valve
Control mechanism
is a rotating hollow
ball inside of valve
housing.
Gate Valve
In-line distribution
valve
Control mechanism
is a sliding plate
inside of valve
housing.
Globe Valve
In-line distribution
valve
Control mechanism
is plunger inside of
valve housing.
Alfalfa Valve
Outlet distribution
valve
Control mechanism
is a threaded plate
or cap on outside of
valve body.
Requires hydrant to
open and close.
A valve used to
relieve excess
pressure that
develops in the
pipeline.
Flow Meter
In-line device used to
measure flow.
In NRCS we generally
require meters that give
both instantaneous
flow rates and
cumulative volumes.
Riser Assembly
Pipe attached to underground pipeline to deliver
water to surface outlets or system valves.
A chamber may be required at base for certain
installations.
Drain Assembly
Valve and pipe assembly used to
empty a pipeline.
Generally either gravity or pump out
configurations are used.
