1. DESCRIPTION
The Viking 6” Model G-6000 Dry Valve Riser Assembly consists of a small prole, light
weight, pilot operated valve that is used to separate the water supply from the dry
sprinkler piping, which is pressurized with air. The pilot operated valve combines an
internal diaphragm assembly that is pressurized closed with priming water, an internal
check valve to isolate the sprinkler system piping, and the Model A-1 Differential Valve
located on the valve trim that allows the valve to operate upon loss of air pressure. The
differential design of the Differential Valve allows an air supply of moderate pressure to
control a higher water supply pressure. When the air pressure in the dry pipe system
is reduced sufciently upon the differential valve due to a sprinkler head operation to
destroy the pressure differential, the differential valve will open and relieve the prim-
ing pressure from the internal diaphragm assembly. The internal diaphragm assembly
will compress, which will allow water to pass through the body of the valve and center
of the internal check valve, entering the sprinkler system piping. The Viking Model
G-6000 Valve is designed to be used with a water ow pressure switch and/or water
motor gong. For systems that require an accelerator to increase the speed of water
delivery, the Viking Model E-1 Accelerator shall be used.

4. INSTALLATION:
A. General Installation Instructions
1. For proper operation and approval, the valve must be installed in the vertical position as trimmed from the factory. DO NOT
install horizontally or modify the factory assembled trim except as described in this technical data page.
2. Viking recommends installing a 12” section of pipe directly above the G-6000 Dry Valve. Prior to valve maintenance, this sec-
tion of pipe may be removed to provide clearance for lifting the cover from the body.
3. The dry valve must be installed in an area not subject to freezing temperatures or physical damage. If required, provide a
valve house (enclosure) with adequate heat around the dry valve and trim. Freezing temperatures and/or excessive pressure
will damage the dry valve. When corrosive atmospheres and/or contaminated water supplies are present, it is the owner’s
responsibility to verify compatibility with the Model G-6000 Dry Valve and associated equipment.
4. The Viking Model E-1 Accelerator should be installed at the location indicated in Figure 1 when required by the installation
standard or local Authority Having Jurisdiction.

5. The optional Model LD-1 Anti-Column Device may be installed to prevent water accumulation above the dry pipe valve.
6. The prime line connection shall be made upstream of the water supply control valve using 1/2” or larger pipe.
B. Air Supply Design
Calculating Trip Pressure and Air Compressor Size
To calculate the point where the water pressure will overcome the air pressure and trip the valve, divide the static system water pres-
sure by the differential (Approximately 5.75:1).
Example:
Static Water Pressure = 64 PSI (4.4 bar) → Trip Point = 64 / 5.75 = 11 PSI (0.76 bar).
The dry valve will trip when the air pressure is reduced to 11 PSI.
NFPA 13 requires the air supply to be capable of lling the entire sprinkler system to its required air pressure within 30 minutes. A com-
mon method of sizing an air compressor is to use the following formula:
Compressor Size (cfm) = .012 x V (gal)
Where V = System Volume and .012 is a common multiplier that will provide 40 PSI (2.8 bar) in 30 minutes.
The following formula may be used for air pressures different than 40 PSI:
Where:
V= Volume
P = Required Air Pressure (Trip Pressure + 15 PSI)
T = Fill time (typically 30 min.)
7.48 = gal. / ft.3
14.7 = atmospheric pressure
Compressor
Size (cfm) =
V x P
7.48 x 14.7 x T
Example:
System volume as determined by table 1 = 750 gallons
System water pressure = 73 PSI (5 bar)
Required air pressure = (73/5.75) + 15 = 28 PSI (1.93 bar)
Compressor Size (cfm) = (750 x 28) = 6.4 cfm
7.48 x 14.7 x 30
Therefore, the compressor shall be capable of providing 7 cfm.

C. Air Supply Installation
1. Install the required air supply as described in Viking technical data page 105a-e. The size of the compressor and amount of
air required should be determined in accordance with Table 1. The air or nitrogen supply to the dry pipe system must be clean,
dry, and oil free.
2. Automatic air supplies must be regulated, restricted, and from a continuous source. A Viking Air Maintenance Device should
be installed on each system equipped with a tank mounted compressor, plant air or nitrogen. For riser mounted compressors
with a capacity less than 5.5 ft3/min at 10 PSI (0.154 mPSI (0.154 m3/min at 0.7 bar), NFPA 13 does not require an air maintenance device.NFPA 13 does not require an air maintenance device.
In addition, the use of an air maintenance device with riser mounted compressors can lead to compressor “short cycling”.
Viking always recommends using a tank mounted compressor with air maintenance device. This can become critical when
accelerators are installed on the system.
D. Pressure Switch Wiring;
Wire the Alarm Pressure Switch (PS10) and Air Supervisory Switch (PS40), and adjust pressure settings as shown in Figures 3 - 5.
E. Air Leakage Test:
Perform air leakage test at 40 PSI (2.8 bar) for 24 hours per NFPA 13. If pressure loss of 1.5 PSI (0.1034 bar) or greater occurs, repair
leaks.
F. Hydrostatic Test:
The Dry System, including sprinkler piping and sprinklers shall be hydrostatically tested at 200 PSI (13.8 bar) and maintained for 2
hours, in accordance with NFPA 13. Systems normally subjected to working system pressures in excess of 150 PSI (10.3 bar) shall be
tested at a pressure of 50 PSI (3.45 bar) in excess of system working pressure.
G. Placing the Valve in Service:
When the dry pipe system is ready to be placed in service, verify that all equipment is adequately heated and protected to prevent
freezing and physical damage.
1. Verify that the water supply main control valve supplying the dry valve is closed.
2. Close the prime valve.
3. Open the main drain valve.
4. Drain all water from the dry pipe system. If the system has operated, or if water has entered the system, allow enough time
to completely drain the system.
5. Close the main drain valve.
6. Open the flow test valve.

Figure 6 - Set Position
5. OPERATION
A. In the Set Position:
When air pressure is introduced into the sprinkler piping, the sensing end of the differential valve is pressurized. This closes the
differential valve, preventing prime water from escaping the prime chamber of the dry pipe valve. When prime water enters the
prime chamber, the rolling diaphragm is pressurized, causing it to expand downward onto the water seat.
7. Establish air pressure on the system.
8. When air pressure has been established, open the priming valve. Prime water pressure will enter and expand the valve’s
internal diaphragm assembly onto the valve seat, effectively closing the valve. Verify prime pressure has been established on
the prime pressure gauge.
9. Verify that no water flows from the drip check when the plunger is pushed.
10. When the priming pressure has been verified as being established, slowly open the water supply control valve (not shown).
11. When flow is developed from the flow test valve, CLOSE the flow test valve.
12. Fully open the water supply main control valve.
13. Secure all valves in their normal operating position.
14. Notify Authorities Having Jurisdiction and those in the affected area that the system is in service.
15. The system is now fully operational.
H. Operational Test:
An operational test shall be performed on the system in accordance with NFPA 13 as follows:
1. Open the instector’s test connection.
2. Record the time to trip the valve.
3. Record the time for water delivery to the inspector’s test connection.

Figure 7 - Loss of System Air Pressure
B. Loss of System Air Pressure:
When a sprinkler operates or air pressure is lost, the sensing end of the differential valve loses pressure and the differential valve
opens. Prime water is drained from the prime chamber, causing the dry pipe valve to open, lling the sprinkler piping with water. Water
from the intermediate chamber of the dry pipe valve pressurizes the sensing end of the PORV, causing the PORV to open. The open
PORV vents air pressure from the air supply, preventing the differential valve from closing and re-establishing prime pressure.
6. INSPECTIONS, TESTS, & MAINTENANCE
It is imperative that the system is inspected and tested on a regular basis. The frequency of the inspections may vary due to contami-
nated water supplies, corrosive water supplies, corrosive atmospheres, as well as the condition of the air supply to the system. For
minimum testing and inspection requirements, refer to NFPA 25. In addition, the Authority Having Jurisdiction may have additional
testing, and inspection requirements that must be followed. Viking does not require internal inspection of the valve as part of routine
inspection and testing. Internal maintenance is generally only required for valve repairs and internal component replacement.
Maintenance of the G-6000 Dry Valve shall be conducted in accordance with the instructions in section 6.III.
WARNING: DO NOT SEPARATE THE COVER AND BODY SECTIONS UNLESS THE VALVE IS LEAKING.
I. INSPECTION
Weekly inspection is recommended. If the system is equipped with a low air (or nitrogen) alarm, monthly inspections may be adequate.
1. Check pressure gauges located on the supply side and system side of the dry valve. Verify that the proper ratio of air (or
nitrogen) pressure to water supply pressure is being maintained. Refer to Table 1.
