Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MOON AMERICAN from 3G Electric.
What materials are available for MOON AMERICAN hydrant gate valves?
MOON AMERICAN offers hydrant gate valves in brass and aluminum. Brass models provide corrosion resistance and are suitable for permanent installations in outdoor or wet environments. Aluminum models are lighter, making them easier to handle for portable or temporary setups. Both materials are rated for water service at typical hydrant pressures.
What connection types do MOON AMERICAN hose valves use?
MOON AMERICAN hose valves commonly use NST (National Standard Thread) connections, available in male and female configurations, as well as NPT (National Pipe Thread) for certain models. NST is standard for fire hose connections in North America, while NPT is used for pipe threading. Verify the specific connection type per SKU to ensure compatibility with existing fittings.
What is the difference between straight-body and angle-body MOON AMERICAN valves?
Straight-body MOON AMERICAN valves have the inlet and outlet aligned in a straight line, suitable for inline installations where the valve body is parallel to the hose or pipe. Angle-body valves have a 90-degree turn between inlet and outlet, allowing flow direction change. Angle valves are useful when space is limited or when connecting to hydrants with vertical outlets.
What pipe sizes are available for MOON AMERICAN hydrant gate valves?
MOON AMERICAN hydrant gate valves are available in pipe sizes of 1 1/2 in and 2 1/2 in. The 2 1/2 in size is common for standard fire hydrant outlets, while the 1 1/2 in size is used for smaller hose connections or auxiliary outlets. Check the specific SKU for the exact pipe size and connection type.
Are MOON AMERICAN valves suitable for potable water applications?
MOON AMERICAN valves are typically designed for water service, but their suitability for potable water depends on the specific model and local regulations. Brass and aluminum materials are generally acceptable for water contact, but verify with the manufacturer or consult applicable standards (e.g., NSF/ANSI 61) if potable water certification is required.
