General
Description
The TYCO Model RM-2 Riser Mani-
fold features the necessary water-
flow alarm, pressure gauge, alarm test
orifice, drain, sight glass and check
valve equipment in a single assembly
for use in National Fire Protection Asso-
ciation (NFPA) standard NFPA 13*com-
pliant commercial sprinkler systems.
The riser manifold is available in a
2 in. to 6 in. range of sizes, and pro-
vides a cost effective and easy transi-
tion arrangement to control valves and
system piping. The riser manifold may
be installed in either a horizontal or ver-
tical orientation, for both single sprin-
kler rises and floor control in high-rises.
A TYCO Model TD-2 Test and Drain
Valve installed on the riser manifold as
shown in Figure 2 provides a simplified
means for testing of waterflow alarm
devices and draining for feed mains.
The pressure relief valve, integrated in
the TYCO Model TD-2 Test and Drain
Valve, has an adjustable range of
100 psi (6,9 bar) to 310 psi (21,4 bar).
Excess system pressure is exhausted
internally through the TD-2 valve’s drain
outlet. For more information about the
Model TD-2 Test and Drain Valve, refer
to Technical Data Sheet TFP965.
* Although the Riser Manifold described in this techni-
cal data sheet is intended for the NFPA 13 sprinkler
systems, it may be used for NFPA 13D or 13R residen-
tial sprinkler systems, where a test orice of 2.8K or
4.2K is acceptable.
NOTICE
The TYCO Model RM-2 Riser Manifold
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.

Installation
The TYCO Model RM-2 Riser Manifold
must be installed in accordance with
this section.
The Model RM-2 Riser Manifold may be
installed either horizontally or vertically.
Note: Where applicable pipe thread
sealant must 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.
Installing the Riser Manifold
Step 1. Install the manifold assembly
with the flow arrow embossed on the
riser check valve oriented downstream
from the water supply, and secure
the end-connections with mechanical
grooved couplings listed for fire protec-
tion service.
Note: For horizontal installation, ensure
the TYCO Model CV-1FR Riser Check
Valve is installed with the valve cover
up. For more information, refer to Tech-
nical Data Sheet TFP950.
Step 2. Connect the drain line and set
the Model TD-2 Test and Drain Valve to
the CLOSED position.
Step 3. Wire the riser manifold in
accordance with the wiring guidance in
Figure 3. All wiring must be performed
in accordance with the authority having
jurisdiction and/or the National Electri-
cal Code.
Step 4. Place the system in service
by filling the system with water. When
filling the system, partially open the
control valve to fill the system slowly.
Filling the system slowly helps to avoid
damaging the waterflow alarm switch.
After the system is fully pressurized,
completely open the control valve.
Step 5. Secure all supply valves open.
Setting the Pressure Relief Valve
Step 1. Review the pressure relief valve
assembly on the test and drain valve as
shown in Figure 3.
Step 2. Rotate the pressure relief cap
and align the set pressure marks to the
the set pressure indicating surface plus
(+) or minus (-) a quarter turn.

For supervised circuits, see "Switch Terminal Connections" above. The Waterow Alarm
Switch has two switches, one can be used to operate a central station, proprietary or remote
signaling unit, while the other contact is used to operate a local audible or visual annunciator.
When connecting to a
UL Listed control panel,
use panel resistor rating
for circuit supervision
Two sets of SPDT (Form C)
10.0 Amps at 125/250VAC
2.0 Amps at 30VDC Resistive
10 mAmps min. at 24VDC
An uninsulated section of a
single conductor is not
permitted to be looped around
the terminal and serve as two
separate connections. The
wire must be severed to serve
as two separate connections,
thereby providing supervision
of the connection in the event
that the wire becomes
dislodged from the terminal.

Care and
Maintenance
The TYCO Model RM-2 Riser Manifold
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, obtain per-
mission to shut down the effected fire
protection system from the proper
authorities and notify all personnel who
may be affected by this action.
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 inspec-
tion, 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 ASSO-
CIATION such as NFPA 25, in addition
to the standards of any authority having
jurisdiction. Contact the installing con-
tractor 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: With the exception of the Model
TD-2 Test and Drain Valve and the
Model CV-1FR Riser Check Valve, do
not attempt to repair any component of
the Model RM-2 Riser Manifold in the
field. The Drain Valve Handwheel of the
Model TD-2 Test and Drain Valve may
be replaced in the field. Refer to Tech-
nical Data Sheet TFP950 for CV-1FR
repair information. Replace other com-
ponents as whole assemblies only. See
Figure 1 for component descriptions
and part numbers.
The alarm/flow test procedure results
in operation of the associated alarms.
Notify the owner and the fire depart-
ment, central station, or other signal
station to which the alarms are con-
nected, and 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. Rotate the test valve handle
180 degrees to the OPEN position as
shown in Figure 4.
Note: This action permits water to flow
through the orifice of the test valve sim-
ulating flow from an individual sprinkler
located downstream of the waterflow
alarm switch as shown in Figure 1.
Note: The test valve housing can be
rotated 360 degrees to eliminate equip-
ment interference with the test valve
handle as shown in Figure 4.
Do not rotate the test valve housing in
the closed position.
Step 2. Confirm water flow through the
test port by observing flow at the drain
port sight glass.
Step 3. Verify proper operation of the
waterflow alarm switch at the fire panel,
the addressable module, and the local
audible/visual annunciator if installed
as shown in Figure 3.
Step 4. Rotate the test valve handle 180
degrees back to the CLOSED position.
