Golvval

Golvval is a term that does not have a single, universally accepted definition in Swedish technical vocabulary. Depending on the source and context, it may refer to a valve associated with the floor or to a concept related to floor-level piping. Because the term is not unambiguous, its precise meaning is usually inferred from surrounding text.

In building services, plumbing and drainage, a floor-level valve can refer to a device used to isolate a section of piping or to enable maintenance of floor drains. Such valves are often installed in floor voids, service chases, or beneath tiled floors and are designed to resist moisture and corrosion. Common forms are small shut-off valves or drain valves that are operated manually, sometimes with a handle or key. In practice, Swedish installers may prefer terms like golvkran or golvventil for these devices, with golvval as a less precise or regional variant.

Notes on terminology and usage: the components “golv” (floor) and a root related to valve may suggest a floor-installed valve, but “ventil” is the standard Swedish word for valve, and precise meaning is best determined from context. The term golvval may appear in informal, regional, or legacy texts and can be a misspelling or shorthand for related terms.

If you have a specific context, such as a product manual, architectural drawing, or regional usage, providing that source can clarify the intended meaning. In general, golvval should be interpreted with attention to accompanying terms like golvkran, golvventil, or description of installation location.
