from the intermediate chamber to the alarm line, which

4 4.500 350
pressure above 90 kPa/13 psi will cause a delay in valve
100 114.3 302.8 operation. Once the system’s air pressure reduces to the
165.1 mm
6.500 1000 trip point of 48 kPa/7 psi (i.e. an open sprinkler), the
165.1 865.0 LPA opens and allows the water supply pressure in the
8 8.625 1500 diaphragm to release. This release allows the latch to
200 219.1 1499.1
retract and permits the clapper to pivot freely, thus
allowing water into the system and the intermediate
chamber through the holes in the seat ring. The water
flows from the intermediate chamber to the alarm line
and activates the system’s alarms. These alarms continue
to sound until the flow of water stops. The valve acts as
an alarm check valve until the system is back in service
as a dry system, according to the proper procedure.
Operation when used in the wet valve configuration:
When the valve is placed in service, the valve traps water
pressure above the clapper and prevents the reverse
flow of water. Minor pressure surges pass through the
bypass loop without lifting the clapper from its seat. The
swing check valve in the bypass line traps the pressure
above the clapper; this can be observed in the pressure
gauges. The system-side water pressure will always be
equal to or greater than the supply-side water pressure
in the absence of an open sprinkler. When a sustained
flow of water occurs, such as an activated sprinkler or
an open inspector’s test connection, the clapper lifts
from its closed position; this allows water to flow into the
system and the intermediate chamber through the holes
in the seat ring. The water flows from the intermediate
chamber to the alarm line and activates the system’s
alarms. These alarms continue to sound until the flow of
water stops.
