1. DESCRIPTION
The 6” Model G-6000P Electric Release Preaction System Riser Assembly can be used as a
Single Interlock Preaction System with Electric Release, or as a Double Interlock Preaction
System with Electric/Pneu-Lectric Release. These �reaction systems are commonly usedThese �reaction systems are commonly used
where it is im�ortant to control accidental water discharge due to inadvertent damage to the
com�lete as shown in Figure 8. This pilot operated externally reset valve also in-
cludes an internal check diaphragm, which eliminates the need for a separate
check valve being installed in the system riser.

The system �i�ing is �ressurized with air or nitrogen as required by NFPA 13 for su-
interlock systems). This feature serves to �revent undetected leaks on the system �i�-
ing network. If the system �i�ing or a s�rinkler is damaged, the su�ervisory �ressure
is reduced and a “low air” su�ervisory alarm is activated.

The system �i�ing is �ressurized with air or nitrogen to serve both as a means of su�ervising the integrity of the �i�ing network
and as one �ortion of the system release o�eration. This feature serves to �revent undetected leaks on the system �i�ing net-
work. If the system �i�ing or a s�rinkler is damaged, the su�ervisory �ressure is reduced and a “low air” su�ervisory alarm is
activated.
electric solenoid and an additional “low air” alarm switch are connected to a com�atible release
control �anel and com�atible detection devices. The release control �anel is �rogrammed so that a signal from both a release
device and the low air alarm switch must be received before the solenoid is allowed to o�en. The air �ressure switch has two
inde�endently o�erating connections. The high side is wired as a low air su�ervisory switch, and the low side is wired as low air
and the low air alarm switch must o�erate in order to o�en the solenoid valve. When
assembly is forced o�en by the system water su��ly and water �asses through the G-6000P valve and internal check dia�hragm

A. General Installation Instructions
1. For �ro�er o�eration and a��roval, the valve must be installed in the vertical �osition as trimmed from the factory. DO NOT
modify the factory assembled trim exce�t as described in this technical data sheet.
2. A 12” section of �i�e is �rovided with the G-6000P Electric Release Preaction System Riser Assembly. Prior to valve mainte-
nance, this section of �i�e may be removed to �rovide clearance for lifting the cover from the body.

Nitrogen may be used in �lace of air com�ressors. Nitrogen is su��lied in �ressurized cylinders in various sizes and �ressures.
When nitrogen cylinders are used as a �rimary air su��ly, s�are cylinders should be furnished and located at the valve location.
To determine the a��roximate amount of nitrogen to be furnished, the following formula may be used:

systems, air �ressure is used for su�ervisory �ur�osesair �ressure is used for su�ervisory �ur�oses and as one of the two initiation actions of the cross-zoned solenoid. PrimePrime
water is routed to the normally closed solenoid valve, and to the �rime chamber. When �rime water enters the �rime chamber, the
�rime chamber assembly is �ressurized, causing it to ex�and downward onto the water seat.
