Method for monitoring valves, in particular valves of a fire fighting system, comprising capturing first sensor signals at a valve in an intact state with a sensor, training the monitoring with the first sensor signals captured at the valve in the intact state, capturing second sensor signals at the valve in an unknown state with the sensor, comparing the trained first sensor signals with the second sensor signals and outputting a signal in case of a deviation of the second sensor signals from the first sensor signals above a limit value.

Method for monitoring fire-fighting system valve with sensor arranged outside the valve

A fire-fighting nozzle includes a tubular inlet having an inlet opening, the inlet extending along a longitudinal axis from the inlet opening toward a shut-off valve, a tubular outlet having at least one nozzle opening, the outlet extending along a transverse axis transverse to the longitudinal axis toward the nozzle opening, and a sealing valve being arranged between the inlet and the nozzle opening and sealing the outlet in a sealing region with respect to the inlet. A radial distance of the sealing region from the longitudinal axis is smaller than or equal to a smallest radial distance of the inner circumferential surface of the inlet opening from the longitudinal axis in a region between the inlet opening and the sealing region.
