Trim Package Includes:
1 Galvanized components.
2 Series 776 Low-Pressure Actuator – The Series 776
Low-Pressure Actuator is pneumatically actuated
and requires only 13 psi/90 kPa minimum air
pressure, regardless of the system supply pressure.
This actuator allows the system to operate with a low
air or gas pressure of 7 psi/48 kPa.
Request submittal 30.65.
3 Air Feed Manifold.
4 All Required Pipe and Fittings.
5 All Standard Trim Accessories.
6 All Required Gauges.
Optional Trim Package:
1 Black Trim for Foam Systems – If the valve is
intended for use in a foam system, black trim must
be ordered, per NFPA requirements. Specify this
requirement on the order.
• Air Compressor
• Air Dryer
• Air Maintenance Device
• Alarm Panels
• Drain Connection Kit
Air Supply Requirements:
The required air pressure for Series 764 FireLock NXT
Alternate Valves is 13 psi/90 kPa minimum, regardless
of the system supply pressure. Air pressures should be
kept below 18 psi/124 kPa, unless a Series 746-LPA
Dry Accelerator is installed. Systems with air pressures
higher than 18 psi/124 kPa require the addition of a
Series 746-LPA Dry Accelerator.
If multiple Series 764 FireLock NXT Alternate Valves are
installed with a common air supply, isolate the systems
with a spring-loaded, soft-seated ball check valve to
ensure air integrity for each system. Good practice is
to include a ball valve for isolation and service of each
individual system.
Set the air pressure to the required system air pressure.
Air pressure differing from the required system air pres-
sure could reduce system operation response time.
The engineer/system designer is responsible for sizing
the compressor so that the entire system is charged to
the required air pressure within 30 minutes. DO NOT
oversize the compressor to provide more airflow. An
oversized compressor will slow down or possibly prevent
valve operation.
If the compressor fills the system too fast, it may be
necessary to restrict the air supply. Restricting the air
supply will ensure that air being exhausted from an open
sprinkler or manual release valve is not replaced by the
air supply system as fast as it is being exhausted.
Optional Accessories:
• Series 746-LPA Dry Accelerator – The Series
746-LPA Dry Accelerator is required when the
Series 768 Dry Valve is installed in large systems to
improve response time. Request submittal 30.64.
• Series 760 Water Motor Alarm – The Series 760
Water Motor Alarm is a mechanical device that
sounds when a sustained flow of water occurs (such
as with an open sprinkler). Request submittal 30.32.
• Series 75B Supplemental Alarm Device – The
Series 75B Supplemental Alarm Device is designed
to provide a continuous alarm for systems equipped
with a mechanical device. Request submittal 30.33.
• Series 75D Water Column Kit – The Series 75D
Water Column Kit is designed to minimize residual
water in the riser from collecting above the clapper.
Request submittal 30.34.
• Alarm Pressure Switch – Alarm Pressure Switches
are designed to activate electrical alarms and control
panels when a sustained flow of water occurs (such
as with an open sprinkler).
• Air Supervisory Pressure Switch – Air Pressure
Supervisory Switches are used to monitor system
air pressure and are available as low-pressure and
high-pressure sensitivity.
• Air Supply System – The air supply system contains
all components for establishing and maintaining
air in the system. The compressor, low-pressure
alarms, ball valves, and required trim are included in
the air supply system.
