Description
The 2-1/2 inch (DN65), Model DV-3HP
Automatic Resetting Deluge Valve is a
quick opening, hydraulically operated
differential type valve designed for fire
protection system service. It is used as
an “automatic water control valve” in
deluge, preaction, and special types of
fire protection systems such as foam-
water and double interlock. The DV-
3HP Valve also provides for actuation
of fire alarms upon system operation.
The automatic resetting feature of the
DV-3HP provides for easy, external
resetting, without having to open a
valve handhole cover to manually re-
position a clapper and latch mecha-
nism.
Operation of a DV-3HP Valve is pro-
vided by an actuation (detection) sys-
tem that is separate from the normally
dry system piping. Trim configuration
options for automatic operation of the
DV-3HP include wet pilot actuation,
dry pilot actuation, and electric actua-
tion. Trim arrangements also provide
for local emergency (manual) release
of the DV-3HP Valves.
The compact and easily installed trim
arrangements have been designed so
that the DV-3HP Valve may be in-
stalled “flow left” or “flow right”
The Model DV-3HP Deluge Valve is a
redesignation for the Gem Model
F446.
WARNING
The Model DV-3HP Deluge Valve de-
scribed herein must be installed and
maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applica-
ble standards of the National Fire Pro-
tection Association, in addition to the
standards of any other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Failure to do so may
impair the integrity of these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and de-
vices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or manufac-
turer should be contacted relative to
any questions.

Wet Pilot
Actuation
The Wet Pilot Actuation Trim provides
for connection of a detection system
consisting of pilot sprinklers (heat de-
tectors) and manual control stations
interconnected with minimum 1/2 inch
(DN15) Schedule 40 steel pipe. The
pilot line is connected to the “Wet Pilot
Detection” connection shown in Fig-
ures 4 and 12. Nominal installation di-
mensions for the Wet Pilot Actuation
Trim are shown in Figure 4.
Pilot sprinklers are to be minimum 5.6
K-factor orifice listed or approved auto-
matic sprinklers. Manual Control Sta-
tions are to be the Model MC-1 de-
scribed in Technical Data Sheet
TD1382.
The maximum height of a wet pilot line
above the DV-3HP Valve must not ex-
ceed the limitations given in Graph B
as a function of the minimum water
supply pressure to the DV-3HP Valve
and the length of the pilot line to the
most remote pilot sprinkler.
Provision must be made for installing
a 5.6 K-factor orifice, Inspector’s Test
Connection at the most hydraulically
demanding location of a wet pilot line
(usually adjacent to the highest and
most remote wet pilot sprinkler or man-
ual control station).
Operation of a pilot sprinkler or open-
ing of a manual control station results
in a rapid pressure drop in the Dia-
phragm Chamber of the DV-3HP Valve,
and the force differential holding the
Center Valve Assembly down in the set
position is reduced to below the valve
trip point.
NOTES
Wet Pilot Lines must be maintained at
a minimum temperature of 40°F/4°C.
It is recommended that internally gal-
vanized pipe and cast iron fittings be
used for wet pilot lines.

Dry Pilot
Actuation
The Dry Pilot Actuation Trim provides
for installation of a detection system
consisting of pilot sprinklers (heat de-
tectors) and manual control stations
interconnected with minimum 1/2 inch
(DN15) steel pipe. The pilot line, which
is to be pressurized with air or nitro-
gen, is connected to the “Dry Pilot De-
tection” connection shown in Figures 7
and 12. Provision must be made for a
5.6 K-factor orifice, Inspector’s Test
Connection at the most remote loca-
tion from the DV-3HP Valve. Nominal
installation dimensions for Dry Pilot
Actuation Trim are shown in Figure 7.
The Dry Pilot Actuation Trim is pro-
vided with a listed and approved Model
DP-1 Dry Pilot Actuator, which is de-
scribed in Technical Data Sheet
TFP1380. The Actuator is rated for use
at a maximum pilot service pressure of
50 psi (3,4 bar) and a maximum water
supply service pressure of 250 psi
(17,2 bar).
Operation of a pilot sprinkler or open-
ing of a manual control station re-
leases pneumatic pressure from the
pilot line. In turn, the Dry Pilot Actuator
opens resulting in a rapid pressure
drop in the Diaphragm Chamber of the
DV-3HP Valve, and the force differen-
tial holding the Center Valve Assembly
down in the set position is reduced
below the valve trip point.
Dry pilot sprinklers are to be minimum
5.6 K-factor orifice listed or approved
automatic sprinklers. Manual Control
Stations are to be the Model MC-1
described in Technical Data Sheet
TFP1382.
Graph C shows the “minimum pilot line
service pressure” as a function of the
water supply pressure. The pressure in
the dry pilot actuation system must be
automatically maintained using one of
the following maintenance devices, as
appropriate.
•Model AMD-1 Air Maintenance De-
vice (pressure reducing type), refer
to Technical Data Sheet TFP1221.
•Model AMD-2 Air Maintenance De-
vice (compressor control type), refer
to Technical Data Sheet TFP1231.
•Model AMD-3 Nitrogen Mainte-
nance Device (high pressure reduc-
ing type), refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP1241.
NOTES
The dew point of the pilot line air pres-
sure must be maintained below the
lowest ambient temperature to which
the dry pilot actuation system will be
exposed. Accumulation of water in the
pilot line connection to the Actuator will
lower the air pressure at which the
Actuator will open and possibly pre-
vent proper operation. Also, introduc-
tion of moisture into the pilot lines ex-
posed to freezing temperatures can
create an ice buildup which could pre-
vent proper operation of the Actuator.
An air dryer must be installed where
the moisture content of the air supply
is not properly controlled at less than
the required value.
It is recommended that an AMD-3 Ni-
trogen Maintenance Device be utilized
in dry pilot actuation system applica-
tions where the dew point must be
maintained below -20°F/-29°C. See
Technical Data Sheet TFP1241.
It is recommended that internally gal-

vanized pipe and cast iron fittings be

Supervision of the pressure in the dry
pilot actuation system and/or alarm
that separately indicates operation of
the detection system is recommended
and may be required by the authority
having jurisdiction. A dual setting low
pressure alarm switch, such as the
Potter Electric PS40-2A, is suitable for
the service. The recommended pres-
sure settings are as follows:
•Low pressure alarm setting at ap-
proximately 6 psi (0,4 bar) below the
minimum pilot line service pressure
requirement shown in Graph C.
•Fire alarm setting at approximately
15 psi (1,0 bar) below the minimum
pilot line service pressure require-
ment shown in Graph C.
The Pressure Relief Valve (Ref. Item
D6 - Fig. 6) is factory set to relieve at
a pressure of approximately 45 psi (3,1
bar); however, it may be field adjusted
to a lower pressure, if required.

Electric
Actuation
The Electric Actuation Trim is required
for electric operation of the DV-3HP
Valve by a detection system consisting
of electrical devices such as heat sen-
sitive thermostats, smoke detectors,
and/or electric manual pull stations.
Information on the various types of
separately ordered Solenoid Valves
that may be used with this trim pack-
age is given in Technical Data Sheet
TFP2180. Nominal installation dimen-
sions for the Electric Actuation Trim
are shown in Figure 10.
NOTE
Approval by Factory Mutual is contin-
gent on the use of an FM Approved
24VDC Solenoid Valve. FM only ap-
proves solenoid valves for use in non-
hazardous locations.
The Electric Actuation Trim is only to
be used in conjunction with an electric
deluge valve releasing panel (auto-
matic control unit) that is listed or ap-
proved (as appropriate) for fire protec-
tion system releasing service. In
addition, the deluge valve releasing
panel is only to be operated by listed
or approved (as appropriate) fire de-
tectors.
Operation of an electrical device such
as a heat sensitive thermostat, smoke
detector, or electrical manual control
station signals the deluge valve releas-
ing panel to energize the Solenoid
Valve. In turn, the energized Solenoid
Valve opens resulting in a rapid pres-
sure drop in the Diaphragm Chamber
of the DV-3 Valve, and the force differ-
ential holding the Center Valve Assem-
bly down in the set position is reduced
to below the valve trip point.
NOTES
Consult with the Authority Having Ju-
risdiction regarding installation criteria
pertaining to electric actuation cir-
cuitry.
When a Solenoid Valve is energized to
operate the DV-3HP Valve, the Sole-
noid Valve must remain energized in
order for the DV-3HP Valve to remain
open.

Operating
Principles
The Model DV-3HP Deluge Valve is a
differential valve that depends upon
water pressure in the Diaphragm
Chamber (Ref. Figure 11A) to hold the
Center Valve Assembly closed against
the water supply pressure. The nomi-
nal trip ratio is 2.5 to 1, i.e., the DV-3HP
Valve operates (opens) when the pres-
sure in the Diaphragm Chamber is re-
duced to approximately 40 percent of
the water supply pressure.
When the DV-3HP Valve is set for serv-
ice, the Diaphragm Chamber is pres-
surized through the trim connections
from the inlet side of the system’s main
control valve, for example an O.S.&Y.
gate valve or butterfly valve (Ref. Fig-
ure 4, 7, and 10). Opening of an actua-
tion device, for example the solenoid
valve in the Electric Actuation Trim
(Ref. Fig. 10), releases water from the
Diaphragm Chamber faster than it can
be replenished through the 1/8 inch
(3,2 mm) Restriction in the Diaphragm
Chamber Supply Connection. This re-
sults in a rapid pressure drop in the
Diaphragm Chamber and the force dif-
ferential holding the Center Valve As-
sembly down in the set position is re-
duced to below the valve trip point. The
water supply pressure then forces the
Center Valve Assembly open permit-
ting water to flow into the system pip-
ing, as well as through the Alarm Port
to actuate the system alarms (Ref. Fig-
ure 11B).
NOTE
When an actuation device is opened to
operate the DV-3HP Valve (e.g., a so-
lenoid valve or manual control station),
the actuation device most remain open
in order for the DV-3HP to remain
open.

Installation
NOTES
Proper operation of the Model DV-3HP
Deluge Valve depends upon its trim
being installed in accordance with the
instructions given in this Technical
Data Sheet. Failure to follow the ap-
propriate trim diagram may prevent
the DV-3HP Valve from functioning
properly, as well as void listings, ap-
provals, and the manufacturer’s war-
ranties.
The DV-3HP Valve must be installed
in a readily visible and accessible lo-
cation.
The DV-3HP Valve, associated trim,
and wet pilot lines must be maintained
at a minimum temperature of
40°F/4°C.
Heat tracing of the DV-3HP Valve or its
associated trim is not permitted. Heat
tracing can result in the formation of
hardened mineral deposits which are
capable of preventing proper opera-
tion.
The Model DV-3HP Deluge Valve is to
be installed in accordance with the fol-
lowing criteria:
Step 1. All nipples, fittings, and de-
vices must be clean and free of scale
and burrs before installation. Use pipe
thread sealant sparingly on male pipe
threads only.
NOTE
It is recommended that internally gal-
vanized pipe and cast iron fittings be
used for wet or dry pilot lines.
Step 2. The DV-3HP Valve must be
trimmed in accordance with Figures 3
and 12.
Step 3. Care must be taken to ensure
that check valves, strainers, globe
valves, etc. are installed with the flow
arrows in the proper direction.
Step 4. Drain tubing to the drip funnel
must be installed with smooth bends
that will not restrict flow.
Step 5. The main drain and drip funnel
drain may be interconnected provided
a check valve is located at least 12
inches (300 mm) below the drip funnel.
Step 6. Suitable provision must be
made for disposal of drain water.
Drainage water must be directed such
that it will not cause accidental dam-
age to property or danger to persons.
Step 7. Connect the Diaphragm
Chamber Supply Control Valve to the
inlet side of the system’s main control
valve in order to facilitate setting of the
DV-3 Valve (Ref. Figures 4, 7, and 10).
Step 8. An Inspector’s Test Connec-
tion, as described in the Wet Pilot Ac-
tuation or Dry Pilot Actuation sections,
must be provided for Wet or Dry Pilot
Actuation systems.
Step 9. An Air Maintenance Device, as
described in the Dry Pilot Actuation
section, must be provided for Dry Pilot
Actuation.
Step 10. A desiccant dryer, when
specified for Dry Pilot Actuation, is to
be installed between a drip leg and the
Air Maintenance Device.
Step 11. The Low Pressure Alarm
Switch for Dry Pilot Actuation is to be
adjusted as follows:
•Low pressure alarm setting at ap-
proximately 6 psi (0,4 bar) below the
minimum pilot line service pressure
requirement shown in Graph C.
•Fire alarm setting at approximately
15 psi (1,0 bar) below the minimum
pilot line service pressure require-
ment shown in Graph C.
Step 12. Unused pressure alarm
switch connections must be plugged.
Step 13. The Pressure Relief Valve
provided with the Dry Pilot Actuation
Trim is factory set to relieve at a pres-
sure of approximately 45 psi (3,1 bar),
which can typically be used for a maxi-
mum normal dry pilot actuation system
pressure of 40 psi (2,8 bar). The Pres-
sure Relief Valve may be reset; how-
ever, it must be be reset to relieve at a
pressure that is in accordance with the
requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction.
To reset the Pressure Relief Valve, first
loosen the jam nut and then adjust the
cap accordingly — clockwise for a
higher pressure setting or counter-
clockwise for a lower pressure setting.
After verifying the desired pressure
setting, tighten the jam nut.
Step 14. Conduit and electrical con-
nections are to be made in accordance
with the requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction and/or the National
Electric Code.
Step 15. Before a system hydrostatic
test is performed in accordance with
NFPA 13 system acceptance test re-
quirements, the Automatic Drain Valve
(Item6,Fig.3,6,or9)istobetempo-
rarily replaced with a 1/2 inch NPT
plug, the 3/32 inch Vent Fitting (16 -
Fig. 3, 6, or 9) is to be temporarily
replaced with a 1/4 inch NPT plug, and
the Handhole Cover Bolts are to be
tightened using a cross-draw se-
quence.
Valve Setting
Procedure
Steps 1 through 10 are to be per-
formed when initially setting the Model
DV-3HP Deluge Valve; after an opera-
tional test of the fire protection system;
or, after system operation due to a fire.
Step 1. Close the Diaphragm Cham-
ber Supply Control Valve.
Step 2. Close the Main Control Valve,
and if the system is equipped with Dry
Pilot Actuation, close the Air Supply
Control Valve (Ref. Fig. 12).
Step 3. Open the Main Drain Valve and
all auxiliary drains in the system. Close
the auxiliary drain valves after water
ceases to discharge. Leave the Main
Drain Valve open.
Step 4. Depress the plunger of the
Automatic Drain Valve to verify that it
is open and that the DV-3HP Valve is
completely drained.
Step 6. Clean the Strainer in the Dia-
phragm Chamber Supply connection
by removing the clean-out plug and
strainer basket. The Strainer may be
flushed out by momentarily opening
the Diaphragm Chamber Supply Con-
trol Valve.
Step 7. Reset the actuation system.
Manual Actuation — Push the operat-
ing lever up; however, do not close the
hinged cover at this time.
Wet Pilot Actuation — Replace oper-
ated pilot sprinklers and/or reset the
manual control stations.
Dry Pilot Actuation — Replace oper-
ated pilot sprinklers and/or reset the
manual control stations. Re-establish
dry pilot pneumatic pressure.
Electric Actuation — Reset the electric
detection system in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions to de-
energize the solenoid valve.
NOTE
In order to prevent the possibility of a
subsequent operation of an over-
heated solder type pilot sprinkler, any
solder type pilot sprinklers that were
possibly exposed to a temperature
greater than their maximum rated am-
bient must be replaced.
Step 8. Open the Diaphragm Chamber
Supply Control Valve and allow time for
full pressure to build up in the Dia-
phragm Chamber.
Step 9. Operate (open) the Manual
Control Station to vent trapped air from
the Diaphragm Chamber. If necessary,
first open the hinged cover, and then
fully pull down on the operating lever.
Page 17 of 20
TFP1355
OBSOLETE

SLOWLY close the operating lever, by
pushing it up, after aerated water
ceases to discharge from the Manual
Control Station drain tubing. Close the
hinged cover and insert a new break
rod in the small hole through the top of
the enclosing box.
If wet pilot actuation is being used,
crack open the Inspector’s Test Con-
nection and any other vent valves, to
relieve trapped air. After the discharge
of air has stopped, close the vent
valves and the Inspector’s Test Con-
nection.
Step 10. Inspect drain connections
from the Manual Control Station, Sole-
noid Valve, Dry Pilot Actuator, and
Alarm Devices, as applicable. Any
leaks must be corrected before pro-
ceeding to the next step.
Step 11. Slowly open the Main Control
Valve. Close the Main Drain Valve as
soon as water discharges from the
drain connection. Observe the Auto-
matic Drain Valve for leaks. If there are
leaks, determine/correct the cause of
the leakage problem. If there are no
leaks, the DV-3HP Valve is ready to be
placed in service and the Main Control
Valve must then be fully opened.
NOTE
After setting a fire protection system,
notify the proper authorities and ad-
vise those responsible for monitoring
proprietary and/or central station
alarms.
Care and
Maintenance
The following procedures and inspec-
tions must be performed as indicated,
in addition to any specific require-
ments of the NFPA, and any impair-
ment must be immediately corrected.
The owner is responsible for the in-
spection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and de-
vices in compliance with this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protec-
tion Association (e.g., NFPA 25), in
addition to the standards of any
authority having jurisdiction. The in-
stalling contractor or product manufac-
turer should be contacted relative to
any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected,
tested, and maintained by a qualified
Inspection Service.
NOTES
Some of the procedures outlined in
this section will result in operation of
the associated alarms. Consequently,
notification must first be given to the
owner and the fire department, central
station, or other signal station to which
the alarms are connected.
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system that
it controls, permission to shut down the
affected fire protection systems must
first be obtained from the proper
authorities and all personnel who may
be affected by this action must be no-
tified.
Drop In Water Supply Pressure Be-
low Normal Range
NOTE
If the water supply pressure is signifi-
cantly reduced below the normally ex-
pected static pressure range (as could
occur in the case of a water main break
or repair), and there is a subsequent
drop in the diaphragm chamber water
pressure below its normal range (due,
for example, to a leak in a piping con-
nection to or from the diaphragm
chamber or, a leak in the diaphragm
chamber check valve caused by dirt or
debris in the check valve seal area), a
deluge valve such as the Model DV-
3HP could inadvertently trip if its water
supply pressure is quickly restored.
A drop in the water supply pressure
below its normal range (as in the case
of an interrupted water supply condi-
tion) constitutes an emergency impair-
ment as defined by NFPA 25. Should
this condition occur, immediately
close the main control valve and util-
ize the following procedure to reset the
system:
Step 1. Prior to the water supply pres-
sure being restored to the closed main
control valve, note the pressure indi-
cated by the diaphragm chamber pres-
sure gauge and, whether the pressure
is within the normally expected range.
Step 2. If the diaphragm chamber
pressure is below the normal range,
check for and correct any source of
leakage from the diaphragm chamber,
prior to resetting the system.
Step 3. After the water supply pres-
sure is restored to the main control
valve, reset the Model DV-3HP Deluge
ValveinaccordancewiththeValve
Setting Procedure section.
NOTE
For fire protection systems subject to
an emergency impairment caused by
an interrupted water supply condition,
it is recommended that consideration
be given to installing a low water sup-
ply pressure switch, with the appropri-

Annual Operation Test Procedure
Proper operation of the DV-3HP Valve
(i.e., opening of the DV-3HP Valve as
during a fire condition) must be verified
at least once a year as follows:
Step 1. If water must be prevented
from flowing beyond the riser, perform
the following steps.
•Close the Main Control Valve.
•Open the Main Drain Valve.
•Open the Main Control Valve one
turn beyond the position at which
water just begins to flow from the
Main Drain Valve.
•Close the Main Drain Valve.
Step 2. Determine the type of actua-
tion/detection system, and operate the
DV-3HP Valve accordingly.
NOTE
Be prepared to quickly perform Steps
3, 4, and 5, if water must be prevented
from flowing beyond the riser.
•Wet Pilot Actuation —Openthe
Inspector’s Test Connection.
•Dry Pilot Actuation — Open the
Inspector’s Test Connection.
•Electric Actuation — Test the del-
uge releasing panel (automatic con-
trol unit) in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions to ener-
gize the solenoid valve.
Step 3. Verify that the DV-3HP Valve
has tripped, as indicated by the flow of
water into the system.
Step 4. Close the Diaphragm Cham-
ber Supply Control Valve.
Step 5. Close the system’s Main Con-
trol Valve.
Step 6. Reset the DV-3HP Deluge
ValveinaccordancewiththeValve
Setting Procedure.
Five Year Internal Valve Inspection
Once every five years during the an-
nual operational test procedure and
prior to the DV-3HP Valve being reset,
the internal parts of the DV-3HP Valve
must be cleaned and then inspected
for wear and damage. Special consid-
eration should be given to the condi-
tion of the Diaphragm and the Facing.
The Diaphragm and/or Facing should
be replaced if there are any signs of
deterioration due to age or chemicals
in the water.

rubber or the five year inspection indi-
cates a build-up of debris within the
valve that could affect its proper opera-
tion, then the frequency of the internal
valve inspection procedure should be
increased as appropriate.
Worn or damaged parts must be re-
placed and the DV-3HP Valve must be
reassembled in accordance with Fig-
ure 1. The Cap Screws securing the
Cover should be uniformly tightened
using a cross-draw sequence.
Quarterly Solenoid Valve Test
Procedure For Electric Actuation
Proper operation of the Solenoid Valve
for electric actuation must be verified
at least quarterly as follows:
Step 1. Close the Main Control Valve.
Step 2. Open the Main Drain Valve.
Step 3. Test the automatic control unit
(deluge releasing panel) in accord-
ance with the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions to energize the solenoid valve.
Step 4. Verify that the flow of water
from the Solenoid Valve drain connec-
tion increases to a full flow.
Step 5. Verify that the Diaphragm
Chamber pressure has decreased to
below 25% of the water supply pres-
sure.
Step 6. Reset the electric detection
system in accordance with the manu-
facturer’s instructions to de-energize
the solenoid valve. Check the Solenoid
Valve drain for leaks. Any leaks must
be corrected before proceeding to the
next step.
Step 7. Slowly open the Main Control
Valve. Close the Main Drain Valve as
soon as water discharges from the
drain connection. Observe the Auto-
matic Drain Valve for leaks. If there are
leaks, determine/correct the cause of
the leakage problem. If there are no
leaks, the DV-3HP Valve is ready to be
placed in service and the Main Control
Valve must then be fully opened.
Quarterly Waterflow Alarm Test
Procedure
Testing of the system waterflow alarms
must be performed quarterly. To test
the waterflow alarm, open the Alarm
Test Valve, allowing a flow of water to
the Pressure Alarm Switch and/or
Water Motor Alarm. Upon satisfactory
completion of the test, close the Alarm
Test Valve.
Quarterly Dry Pilot Actuator Test
Procedure For Dry Pilot Actuation
Proper operation of the Dry Pilot Ac-
tuator for dry pilot actuation must be
verified at least quarterly as follows:
Step 1. Close the Main Control Valve.
Step 2. Open the Main Drain Valve.
Step 3. Open the Inspector’s Test Con-
nection on the Dry Pilot Line.
Step 4. Verify that the flow of water
from the Dry Pilot Actuator drain con-
nection increases to a full flow.
Step 5. Verify that the Diaphragm
Chamber pressure has decreased to
below 25% of the water supply pres-
sure.
Step 6. Close the Inspector’s Test
Connection and allow the dry pilot line
pressure to re-establish. Check the
Dry Pilot Actuator drain for leaks. Any
leaks must be corrected before pro-
ceeding to the next step.
Step 7. Slowly open the Main Control
Valve. Close the Main Drain Valve as
soon as water discharges from the
drain connection. Observe the Auto-
matic Drain Valve for leaks. If there are
leaks, determine/correct the cause of
the leakage problem. If there are no
leaks, the DV-3 Valve is ready to be
placed in service and the Main Control
Valve must then be fully opened.
Quarterly Low Pressure Alarm
Test Procedure And Condensate
Drain Procedure For Dry Pilot
Actuation
For Dry Pilot Actuation, testing of the
Low Pressure Alarm Switch and drain-
age of the pilot line condensate should
be performed quarterly as follows.
Step 1. Close the Diaphragm Cham-
ber Supply Control Valve.
Step 2. Close the Main Control Valve.
Step 3. Open the Main Drain Valve.
Step 4. Drain the dry pilot line conden-
sate as follows.
•Close the Gauge Test Valve located
below the Dry Pilot Line Pressure
Gauge.
•Remove the 1/4 inch Plug from the
Gauge Test Valve.
•Crack Open the Gauge Test Valve
and allow all condensate, if any, to
drain out.
•Close the Gauge Test Valve, re-
place the Plug, and then open the
Gauge Test Valve.
Step 5. Open the Inspector’s Test Con-
nection, and slowly relieve pneumatic
pressure. Verify that the Low pressure
Alarm Switch is operational and that
the low pressure set points are as fol-
lows:
•Low pressure alarm setting at ap-
proximately 6 psi (0,4 bar) below the
minimum pilot line service pressure
requirement shown in Graph C.
•Fire alarm setting at approximately
15 psi (1,0 bar) below the minimum
pilot line service pressure require-
ment shown in Graph C.
Step 6. Close the Inspector’s Test
Connection, and allow the Dry Pilot
Line to automatically repressurize.
Step 7. Open the Diaphragm Chamber
Supply Control Valve.
Step 8. Slowly open the Main Control
Valve. Close the Main Drain Valve as
soon as water discharges from the
drain connection. Observe the Auto-
matic Drain Valve for leaks. If there are
leaks, determine/correct the cause of
the leakage problem. If there are no
leaks, fully open the Main Control
Valve.
