Is there a PIV that is flush with the ground?

Is there a PIV that is flush with the ground?

Is there a PIV that is flush with the ground?

(OP)
I've rerouted an existing fire loop around a new building on a manufacturing plant site.  The owner wants a PIV at every valve location.  These are surrounded by 4 bollards.  The 2 valves I need to make the connection to existing fire main are in very awkward locations to have an above ground PIV with 4 bollards around them.  Is there such thing as a PIV that is flush with the ground?  (It must also be FM approved)

RE: Is there a PIV that is flush with the ground?

Don't think a valve can be called a PIV if it is not above ground.

Try to reroute your piping to accomodate your layout.

RE: Is there a PIV that is flush with the ground?

There are wall-mounted PIV available.

Thanks, guys.  I did find one that is flush.  But it wasn't FM approved.  So, I rerouted a little, so that I could group 3 together.  Then put bollards around the group.
