ALARM CHECK VALVE 41KJWJMODEL J-1 The Viking Corporation, 210 N Industrial Park Drive, Hastings MI 49058 Telephone: 269-945-9501 Technical Services: 877-384-5464 Fax: 269-818-1680 Email: techsvcs@vikingcorp.com Visit the Viking website for the latest edition of this technical data page www.vikinggroupinc.com DESCRIPTION The Viking Model J-1 Alarm Check Valve serves as a check valve by trapping pressurized water above the clapper and preventing reverse flow from sprinkler piping. The valve is designed to initiate an alarm during a sustained flow of water (such as the flow required by an open sprinkler) by operating an optional water motor alarm and/or alarm pressure switch. The valve is made suitable for use on variable pressure water supplies by adding the optional retard chamber to the standard trim. Features • Ductile iron body for less weight and extra strength. • Rubber -faced clapper hinged to access cover for quick removal and easy servicing. • All moving parts can be serviced without removing the valve from the installed position. • With the cover/clapper assembly removed, clapper rubber replacement requires removal of only one screw. • External by-pass trim to minimize clapper movement and false alarm. • Trim allows installation of optional non -interruptible pressure switch to activate an electric alarm panel and/or remote alarm. • Can be installed on constant or variable pressure water supplies. • Can be installed vertically or horizontally, with the access cover facing up. • Valve housing tapped for inlet and outlet pressure gauges, alarm devices, and system main drain. • Trim includes alarm test valve for testing alarms without reducing system pressure.

TECHNICAL DATA Specifications Friction Loss - Refer to Table 1. Pressure Rating - 300 psi (20.7 bar) water working pressure. Factory tested hydrostatically to 600 psi (41.4 bar). The valve may be hydrostatically tested at 350 psi (24.1 bar) and/or 50 psi (3.4 bar) above the normal water working pressure, for limited periods of time (two hours), for the purpose of acceptance by the AHJ. If air testing is required, DO NOT exceed 40 psi (2.8 bar) air pressure. Material Standards Refer to Figure 3. Ordering Information The valve is listed and/or approved with specific trim for use up to 300 psi (20.7 bar). No substitutions or omissions, in part or in full, are allowed. Additional accessories to the standard trim packages are required for a complete system meeting the requirements of the applicable rules and codes. See appropriate technical data for additional information. Part Numbers - Refer to Table 1. Accessories - a. Retard Chamber: Required when the Model J-1 Alarm Check Valve is installed on systems with a variable pressure water supply to minimize unwanted (false) alarms. b. Water Motor Alarm: The J-1 Alarm Check Valve is designed to operate a mechanical alarm during a sustained flow of water (such as the flow required by an open sprinkler). Refer to the water motor alarm technical data. c. Alarm Pressure Switch: The J-1 Alarm Check Valve trim allows installation of pressure switches to operate local electric alarms and/or remote electric alarms during a sustained flow of water (such as the flow required by an open sprinkler).
