Installation
General Instructions
Proper operation of the DV-5 Deluge
Valves depends upon their trim being
installed in accordance with the in-
structions given in this Technical Data
Sheet. Failure to follow the appropri-
ate trim diagram may prevent the DV-5
Valve from functioning properly, as well
as void listings, approvals, and the
manufacturer’s warranties.
The DV-5 Valve must be installed in a
readily visible and accessible location.
The DV-5 Valve and associated trim
must be maintained at a minimum tem-
perature of 40°F (4°C).
Heat tracing of the DV-5 Valve or its
associated trim is not permitted. Heat
tracing can result in the formation of
hardened mineral deposits that are ca-
pable of preventing proper operation.
The DV-5 Deluge Valve is to be in-
stalled in accordance with the follow-
ing criteria:
Step 1. All nipples, ttings, and de-
vices must be clean and free of scale
and burrs before installation. Use pipe
thread sealant sparingly on male pipe
threads only.
Step 2. The DV-5 Valve must be
trimmed in accordance with Figure
3A/3B or 5.
Step 3. Care must be taken to ensure
that check valves, strainers, globe
valves, etc. are installed with the ow
arrows in the proper direction.
Step 4. Drain tubing to the Drip Funnel
must be installed with smooth bends
that will not restrict ow.
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. Drain-
age water must be directed such that
it will not cause accidental damage to
property or danger to persons.
Step 7. Connect the Diaphragm Cham
-
ber Supply Control Valve to the inlet
side of the system’s Main Control Valve
in order to facilitate setting of the DV-5
Valve (Ref. Figure 4).
Step 8. An Inspector’s Test Connec-
tion, as described in the Technical Data
section, must be provided for Dry Pilot
Actuation systems.
Step 9. An Air Maintenance Device, as
described in the Technical Data Sec-
tion, must be provided for Dry Pilot
Actuation.
Step 10. A desiccant dryer, when
specied 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 A
•
Fire alarm setting at approximately
15 psi (1,0 bar) below the minimum
pilot line service pressure require-
ment shown in Graph A
Step 12. Unused pressure alarm
switch connections must be plugged.
Step 13. The Pressure Relief Valve pro-
vided with the Dry Pilot Actuation Trim
is factory set to relieve at a pressure
