A durable Free Fall Fire Valve makes all the difference – learn why now
Landon Kingsway fire valves have a lower lifecycle cost
In fire safety, reliability shouldn’t just be a benefit; it should be the bare minimum. At Landon Kingsway, we understand how difficult it can be to know the difference between a standard, reliable run-of-the-mill valve and a truly dependable and durable Free Fall Fire Valve.
That is why we don’t just engineer for compliance. We engineer for the long haul.
Our durable Free Fall Fire Valve is designed to endure the full lifecycle of the systems they safeguard, from generator backup lines to oil-fired heating installations. Built from corrosion-resistant materials and tested to globally recognised standards, they’re not just safe when you first install them, they’re safe ten years from now.
Durability is a combination of smart engineering, material choice, and real-world testing. Here’s what makes our durable Free Fall Fire Valve stand out:
Corrosion-resistant components
Stainless steel drop weights. Brass hooks. IP65-rated enclosures. Every element is built to resist moisture, dust, heat and time.
ISO 10497 & API 607 fire-tested
Our valves are fire-tested under internationally recognised protocols to ensure they exceed all standards. These tests simulate extreme conditions to confirm performance when it matters most.
Minimal maintenance required
With annual testing and basic re-lubrication, our valves stay operational year after year without the need for frequent replacement or costly downtime.
Manual reset, gravity-close mechanism
Simple, mechanical fail-safe operation that doesn’t rely on electronics or external power. This means there is less that can go wrong, more peace of mind.
When specifiers or engineers look at fire safety valves, the initial cost often draws focus, and the price in five to ten years becomes an afterthought.
However, we know that a cheaper, untested valve that corrodes or fails early could mean expensive replacements, unexpected downtime, and even non-compliance. Landon Kingsway free fall fire valves are designed to be installed once, maintained properly, and relied upon for the life of the asset, making them a smarter long-term investment.
Why does testing matter for a durable Free Fall Fire Valve?
Real durability only counts if it’s proven. That’s why we put our valves through rigorous, internationally recognised tests:
ISO 10497 Simulates fire exposure to verify the valve’s ability to remain leak-tight and operational in fire conditions.
API 607 Ensures the valve can withstand direct flame, internal pressure, and rapid depressurisation.
Internal lifecycle testing Confirms long-term mechanical integrity, especially under repetitive use and in harsh environments.
These tests are not just certifications, they are proof that your system will be protected at all times, especially when it’s needed most.
The true cost of valve failure
A failed fire valve leaves your systems unprotected. It sets off a chain reaction of risk. Uninterrupted fuel flow can escalate fire damage in seconds, leading to a full plant or generator shutdown, voided insurance claims, and even legal liability due to non-compliance. On top of that, there’s the unexpected cost of urgent replacements and labour.
When so much is at stake, durability shouldn’t be a nice-to-have tick box. It should be the foundation of both safety and cost-efficiency.
Durability isn’t just about safety or compliance, it’s about durability and cost-efficiency too. Our durable Free Fall Fire Valve is engineered to withstand extreme conditions and operate reliably over time, which means fewer unexpected failures, replacements, and emergency maintenance interventions. The result is a measurable reduction in maintenance costs and operational downtime. Investing in long-lasting, high-performance valves ensures that your systems remain protected while keeping your maintenance budgets under control.
Final word: performance that lasts
At Landon Kingsway, our durable Free Fall Fire Valve is engineered to go the distance. They’re not just compliant today, they are compliant 10 years from now.
So, if you’re looking for a valve that won’t need replacing every few years, or one that won’t fail under pressure, you’re in the right place. Talk to us or explore the LK Free Fall Fire Valve range.
