General
Description
The TYCO commercial and residential
Model RM-1 Riser Manifold provide
the necessary waterflow alarm, pres-
sure gauge, alarm test orifice, drain,
and sight glass equipment in a single
assembly for use in NFPA 13 com-
mercial sprinkler systems and in NFPA
13D/13R residential sprinkler systems
as follows:
NFPA 13*
• 1-1/2 in. (DN40)
Male Thread x Female Thread
• 2 in.– 6 in. (DN50 – DN150)
Groove x Groove
NFPA 13D
• 1 in. (DN25)
Female Thread x Female Thread
NFPA 13R
• 1-1/2 in. (DN40)
Male Thread x Female Thread
• 2 in. (DN50)
Groove x Groove
* Although the Riser Manifold described in this techni-
cal data sheet is intended for NFPA 13 sprinkler sys-
tems, it may be used for NFPA 13D or 13R residential
sprinkler systems, where a test orice of 2.8K or 4.2K
is acceptable.
The variety of sizes and grooved end
connections allow cost effective and
easy transition to check valves, control
valves, and system piping. The Model
RM-1 Riser Manifolds may be installed
either horizontally (flow switch on top)
or vertically (flow going up) orientation,
for both single sprinkler rises and floor
control in high-rises.
Optional Pressure Relief Kits feature a
175 psi pressure relief valve and trim
components for convenient integration
into commercial and residential riser
manifold assemblies.
The pressure relief valve, installed in
manifold assemblies above the nor-
mally closed test and drain or drain
valve, automatically bleeds system
pressure exceeding 175 psi through a
flexible hose connected to the mani-
fold drain outlet (Ref. Figure 5), reduc-
ing system pressure to 175 psi.
NOTICE
The Model RM-1 Riser Manifolds
described herein must be installed
and maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applica-
ble standards of the NATIONAL FIRE
PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA),
in addition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction. Failure
to do so may impair the performance
of these devices.
The owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.

Manifold
Installation
TYCO Model RM-1 Riser Manifold
must be installed in accordance with
this section.
The Model RM-1 Riser Manifold may be
installed either horizontally (flow switch
on top) or vertically (flow going up). The
inlet of the Riser Manifold may be con-
nected directly to a shut-off control
valve.
Notes:
Where applicable pipe thread sealant
is to be applied sparingly. Use of a
non-hardening pipe thread sealant is
recommended.
Never remove any piping component
nor correct or modify any piping defi-
ciencies without first depressurizing
and draining the system.
Provisions for an alarm test flow on
Residential Models must be made.
The alarm test flow is to be through
an orifice having a flow capacity equal
to or smaller than the smallest orifice
sprinkler in the system. One of two
options can be considered. The first
option is to temporarily install a test
orifice in the outlet of the drain line
prior to performing the alarm test. The
second option is to install an Inspec-
tor’s Test Connection downstream of
the Waterflow Alarm Switch.
Step 1. Install the manifold body with
the flow arrow pointing in the down-
stream position using threaded con-
nections and/or listed mechanical
grooved connections, as applicable.
Step 2. Connect the drain line and on
commercial manifolds set the Model
TD-1 Test and Drain Valve to the OFF
position or on residential manifolds
close the drain valve.
Step 3. Refer to Figure 6 for wiring
guidance. All wiring must be performed
in accordance with the authority having
jurisdiction and/or the National Electri-
cal Code.
Step 4. Refer to Figure 5 for Optional
Pressure Relief Trim installation.
Step 5. Place the system in service
by filling the system with water. When
filling the system, partially open the
control valve to slowly fill the system.
Filling the system slowly will help avoid
damaging the waterflow alarm switch.
After the system is fully pressurized,
completely open the control valve.
Step 6. Secure all supply valves open.

Care and
Maintenance
TYCO Riser Manifolds RM-1 must be
serviced and maintained in accordance
with this section.
Before closing a fire protection system
control valve for inspection or main-
tenance work on the fire protection
system that it controls, permission to
shut down the effected fire protection
system must first be obtained from
the proper authorities and all person-
nel who may be affected by this action
must be notified.
After placing a fire protection system
in service, notify the proper authorities
and advise those responsible for moni-
toring proprietary and/or central station
alarms.
The owner is responsible for the
inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and devices
in compliance with this document, as
well as with the applicable standards
of the NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION
ASSOCIATION (e.g., NFPA 25), in addi-
tion to the standards of any authority
having jurisdiction. Contact the install-
ing contractor or product manufacturer
with any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualified Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
Note: No attempt is to be made to
repair any Riser Manifold component
in the field. Only the pressure gauge,
waterflow alarm switch, or relief valve
can be replaced. If any other problems
are encountered the entire riser mani-
fold must be replaced.
The alarm/flow test procedure will
result in operation of the associated
alarms. Consequently, notification
must be given to the owner and the fire
department, central station, or other
signal station to which the alarms are
connected, and notification must be
given to the building occupants.
The following inspection procedure
must be performed as indicated, in
addition to any specific requirements
of the NFPA, and any impairment must
be immediately corrected:
Alarm/Flow Test Procedure
Step 1. Place the Model TD-1 Test and
Drain Valve in the TEST position (Ref.
Figure 7). On residential assemblies
without a test orifice, temporarily install
a test orifice in the drain outlet and fully
open the Drain Valve. Make certain
that drainage water will not cause any
damage or injury.
Step 2. Verify operation of associated
alarms.
Step 3. Verify that the residual (i.e.,
flowing) pressure indicated by the pres-
sure gauge is no less that originally
recorded for the system when it was
first installed.
Step 4. Close the Drain Valve on the
Residential models and the Test and
Drain valve on commercial models.
Step 5. Verify that the static (i.e., not
flowing) pressure indicated by the pres-
sure gauge is no less that originally
recorded for the system when it was
first installed.
