Description Page
1. Introduction
The Reliable Model DDX PrePaK™is a completely self-contained, supervised system that can be readily installed within a floor
space (not including door swing) of 4.7 ft2(0.43 m2) for 2” through 4” systems, and 6.5 ft2(0.60 m2) for 6” and 8” systems and
those systems incorporating a nitrogen generator.
Installation of the PrePaK™requires three piping connections: the water supply, the sprinkler system, and the drain. Reference
locations of these piping connections, along with general PrePaK™ dimensions are shown on gures 1 and 2 of this document.
Individual power circuits are required for the releasing control panel, air compressor, and nitrogen generator, where so
equipped. Depending on the type of system and requirements of the project, eld wiring of detection devices and noticaiton
devices may be required. When equipped with an integral releasing conrol panel, connection of the panel to the main building
re alarm system may also be required.
2. Scope

Product: Model DDX Type D Single/Double Interlock Preaction System
The Reliable Model DDX Type D preaction system is an electric release system that incorporates a 24VDC normally closed so-
lenoid valve on the deluge valve releasing trim. The solenoid valve is energized by a listed release control panel and detection
system when the appropriate type and number of events have occurred to satisfy the panel program.
For single interlock preaction systems, the activation of a supplemental electric detection system, either on a single zone or
two zones (cross zoned) will energize the solenoid, releasing water into the system and initiating a water flow alarm.
For double interlock preaction systems, the activation of a supplemental electric detection system in conjunction with activation
of the low-pressure switch due to loss of system pneumatic pressure (presumed due to a re sprinkler opening) will energize
the solenoid, releasing water into the system and initiating a water flow alarm.
In the event of pneumatic pressure loss on the system with no active electric detection, the pressure switch will operate inde-
pendently, and a supervisory signal will report to the re alarm system, however, water will not be released into the system.
This system, in sizes 2” through 6” (50 mm to 150 mm), is also available with an integral SouthTek Systems FPS-900 N2-
Blast® nitrogen generator, FM Approved to Standard 1035, Nitrogen Generators for Corrosion Mitigation.

Product: Model DDX Type F Double Interlock Preaction System
The Reliable Model DDX Type F double interlock preaction system is an electric/pneumatic release system that incorporates a
24VDC normally closed solenoid valve in series with a Model LP low-pressure dry pilot actuator on the deluge valve releasing
trim.
The activation of a supplemental electric detection system, either on a single zone or two zones (cross zoned) will energize the
solenoid valve. Subsequent operation of the low-pressure dry pilot actuator due to loss of system pneumatic pressure (pre-
sumed due to a re sprinkler opening) releases water into the system and initiates a water flow alarm.
In the event of pneumatic pressure loss on the system with no active electric detection, the pressure switch will operate inde-
pendently, and a supervisory signal will report to the re alarm system, however, water will not be released into the system.
This system, in sizes 2” through 6” (50 mm to 150 mm), is also available with an integral SouthTek Systems FPS-900 N2-

Product: Model DDX-LP Low Pressure Dry Pipe System
The Reliable Model DDX-LP is a dry pipe system that incorporates a low-pressure dry pilot actuator on the deluge valve releas-
ing trim.
The Model LP dry pilot actuator is diaphragm operated valve that is normally held closed using the same air or nitrogen pres-
sure contained in the dry pipe system. Loss of pneumatic pressure in the system (presumed due to a re sprinkler operating)
results in the opening of the dry pilot actuator, releasing water into the system and initiating a water flow alarm.
In the event of a slow loss of pneumatic pressure (such as a leak), the pressure switch will operate, and a supervisory signal
will report to the re alarm system.
Note: Failure to address a low-pressure condition may result in operation of the dry pipe system.
This system, in sizes 2” through 6” (50 mm to 150 mm), is also available with an integral SouthTek Systems FPS-900 N2-
Blast® nitrogen generator, FM Approved to Standard 1035, Nitrogen Generators for Corrosion Mitigation.

Product: Model DDX Type PL Double Interlock Preaction System
The Reliable Model DDX Type PL double interlock preaction system is a mechanical release system that incorporates a dual-
chamber low-pressure dry pilot actuator on the deluge valve releasing trim. Both chambers of the dry pilot actuator must
depressurize for the device to operate. The Model PL dry pilot actuator serves to separate the dry pilot piping and system
piping from the hydraulic pressure in the deluge valve releasing trim.
Sudden loss of pneumatic pressure on the dry pilot line (presumed due to operation of a thermal detector or manual station)
will report to the re alarm system, however, water will not be released into the system. Subsequent loss of pneumatic pressure
on the system (presumed due to a re sprinkler opening) will operate the Model PL dry pilot actuator, releasing water into the
system and initiating a water flow alarm.
In the event of pneumatic pressure loss on the system and normal dry pilot line pressure, the system pressure switch will
operate and report to the re alarm system, however, water will not be released into the system. Failure to address a system
low-pressure condition may result in unwanted discharge of water should the deluge valve subsequently operate due to a
detection event.
In the event of pneumatic pressure loss on the dry pilot line and normal system pressure, the dry pilot line pressure switch will
operate and report to the re alarm system, however, water will not be released into the system. Failure to respond to a dry
pilot line low-pressure condition may result in operation of the deluge valve should the system experience a sudden loss of
pressure.

4. Placement & Anchoring
The Reliable PrePaK™and all interconnected wet piping must be in a readily accessible location that is maintained at a
minimum temperature of 40°F (4°C). Heat tracing is not permitted as an alternative to locating the unit in a conditioned space.
Position the PrePaK™on a hard surface such that full 180° opening of the main door is provided for access. The units are also
provided with access panels on each side. For service and maintenance purposes, consideration should be given to keeping
the sides clear for access.
Where required, the unit can be anchored to the floor using the holes provided. Alternate methods of anchoring the PrePaK™
are acceptable when approved by the authority having jurisdiction.
Optional Seismic Kit: Reliable part number 6501200041 (25” x 28” cabinet for 2” -4” systems without nitrogen generator)
and part number 6501200042 (30” x 33” cabinet for 6” and 8” systems and ALL units with nitrogen generator) are seismic
upgrade kits required to make the Reliable PrePaK compliant with OSHPD Special Seismic Certication Preapproval (SDS(g) =
2.5 and z/h = 1). One kit is required for each PrePaK™; please reference Reliable Caution Sheet 331 for full details.
5. Piping Connections (Refer to Figures 1 & 2)
Verify compatibility of the water supply with the Model DDV valve materials prior to installation. Three pipe connections
(possibly four if units are side by side) are required for each unit:
Water supply—Lower front side (right or left) of unit
Drain—Lower rear side (right or left) of unit
System—Top of unit
Where necessary for the water supply and drain, reverse the outlet access panel (with rubber grommets) and the solid access
panel.
Note that the manifold size supplying the system may not match the system size. It is the customer’s responsibility to conrm
the size of the system supply pipe and provide appropriate transition ttings if necessary.
The drain should be routed to a safe discharge either outside of the building or other location acceptable to the owner and/
or authority having jurisdiction. Closed drain systems must be capable of handling the discharge of a fully opened main drain
valve under full system pressure.
6. Power Supply Connections
For convenience, separate Type SO power cables are provided for the release control panel, air compressor, and nitrogen
generator, where so equipped. These cables are extended through the floor of the unit for eld connection to an approved
permanent power source. A separate circuit is required for each device.
When required by a local electrical code or other authority having jurisdiction, these cables may be removed to the point
of connection on the appropriate device and replaced with approved wiring. Replacement of SO power cords with other
approved power wiring does not affect listing or warranty of the product.

8. Field Wiring: Units with Releasing Control Panel
This section provides basic information regarding low voltage eld wiring. For PrePaK™units provided with an integral
Potter PFC-4410 Releasing Control Panel, all input and output functions are factory wired (mapped) to a watertight junction
box located in the interior upper left corner of the unit. All eld wiring occurs within the watertight junction box. Field wiring
requirements will differ depending on the type of system and whether Class B (two-wire) or Class A (four-wire) circuitry is used.
Please refer to Figures 19 through 22 on the following pages.
A. Detection
For electric release units (Type D, Type F, and electric release deluge), listed and approved electrical detectors must be
connected to the terminal block.
Connect Class B wires for detection zone 1 on terminals 10 and 13 of the terminal strip (see Figure 19). Relocate EOL resistor
currently installed between terminals 10 and 13 to the end of the detection circuit.
Connect Class A wires for detection zone 1 on terminals 10, 11, 12, and 13 of the terminal strip (see Figure 20). Remove and
store the EOL resistor currently installed between terminals 10 and 13 (EOL resistor is not used on Class A circuits).
Where two zones of detection are used (cross zoning), connect Class B wires for detection zone 2 on terminals 14 and 17 (see
Figure19). Relocate EOL resistor currently installed between terminals 14 and 17 to the end of the detection circuit.
Where two zones of detection are used (cross zoning), connect Class A wires for detection zone 2 on terminals 14, 15, 16, and
17 of the terminal strip (see Figure 20). Remove and store the EOL resistor currently installed between terminals 14 and 17
(EOL resistor is not used on Class A circuits).
B. Release
For electric release units (Type D, Type F, and electric release deluge), all necessary release devices are factory wired and no
additional eld wiring is necessary.
All electric release units incorporate a Releasing Circuit Disable Switch (RCDS) to facilitate testing and maintenance of the
system. This device is factory wired and no additional eld wiring is necessary.
