Date ‘August 1970 ‘The Model BH43 and BH44 straightway hose valves discussed in this report will appear in the Hydrants & Hose section of the FM Approval Guide under the heading “Hose Valves, Straightway” as shown below: Model BH43. 2 % inch (64 mm). 300 psi (2070 kPa). Model BH44. 2 ¥ inch (64 mm). 300 psi (2070 kPa). DESCRIPTION Design . ‘The Model BH43 and BH44 straightway hose valves discussed in this report are non-rising stem type gate valves. The Model BH43 is provided with a2 4 inch NPT female inlet connection and a 2 4% inch NH hose thread outlet connection. The Model BH44 is provided with a 2 % inch NH hose thread swivel inlet connection and a 2 ¥ inch NH hose thread outlet connection. Cross-sectional views of both valves are shown in Appendix I.22 23 312 32 321 322 33 331 UL/FM APPROVALS 3020792 Rated Working Pressure ‘The Model BH43 and BH44 straightway hose valves discussed in this report each have a rated ‘working pressure of 300 psi (2070 kPa). ‘Materials “Major components of the Model BH43 and BH44 straightway hose valves discussed in this report are constructed of the following materials: Description ‘Material Body ASTM B584 85700 Bonnet ‘ASTM B124 C3700 Dise ‘ASTM B584 85700 Stem ‘ASTM B21 48200 Packing Nut ‘ASTM BI6 C36000 Handle Wheel Dustile Iron Wheel Nut ASTM BI6 C36000 EXAMINATION AND TESTS ‘Hydrostatic Strength A sample Model BH43 straightway hose valve was subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of 1200 psi (8274 kPa) for 5 minutes. This pressure represents 4 times the rated working pressure. There was no evidence of leakage, rupture, or visible distortion asa result of this test. This result is considered satisfactory. ‘A sample Model BH44 straightway hose valve was subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of 1200 psi (8274 kPa) for 5 minutes. This pressure represents 4 times the rated working pressure. There was ‘no evidence of leakage, rupture, or visible distortion as a result of this test. This result is considered satisfactory. ‘Stem Seal ‘A sample Mode! BH43 straightway hose valve was tested for stem leakage by subjecting a partially ‘open valve to hydrostatic pressure of 300 psi (2070 kPa) for $ minutes. Visual observations did not reveal any apparent leakage around the stem during ths test. ‘This result is considered satisfactory ‘A sample Mode! BH44 straightway hose valve was tested for stem leakage by subjecting a partially ‘open valve to a hydrostatic pressure of 300 psi (2070 kPa) for S minutes. Visual observations did not reveal any apparent leakage around the stem during this test. This result is considered satisfactory avi ! ‘A sample Model BH43 straightway hose valve was environmentally tested by placing the valve in an environmental chamber with an ambient temperature set to 120°F for 72 hours. The valve was then removed from the environmental chamber and tested for stem leakage by subjecting a partially open332 34 341 342 61 62 UL/FM APPROVALS 3020792 valve to a hydrostatic pressure of 300 psi (2070 kPa) for 5 minutes.

Visual observations did not reveal any apparent leakage around the stem during this test. This result is considered satisfactory. ‘Stem Strength ‘A sample Model BH43 straightway hose valve was tested for stem strength by subjecting the valve to a torque of 100 Ib-ft (136 N-m). The torque was applied to the valve in the closed position and in a direction to further close the valve. Following this test the valve was opened and closed throughout its full range of travel and found to operate freely with no failure of parts. This result is A sample Model BH44 straightway hose valvé was tested for stem strength by subjecting the valve ‘to.a torque of 100 Ib-ft (136 N-m).
