*LOCO Fire & Building Products Technical Services: Tel: (800) 381-9312 / Fax: (800) 791-5500 Model 513 (13) Riser Manifold 1-112 thru 6 Inch (DN40 thru DN150) For NFPA 13 Sprinkler Systems General Description The Figure 513 (13) Riser Manifolds described in this technical data sheet provide the necessary waterflow alarm, pressure gauge, alarm test ori- fice, drain, and sight glass equipment in a single assembly for use in NFPA 13 sprinkler systems as follows: NFPA 13* • 1-1/2 Inch (DN40) Male Thread x Female Thread • 1-1/2thru 6 Inch(DN40thru DN150) Groove x Groove *Although the Riser Manifold described in this data sheet is intended for NFPA 13 sprinkler systems, it maybe used forNFPA 13D or 13R residential sprinkler systems, where a test orifice of 5.6K (80K) is accept- able The variety of sizes and grooved end connections allow cost effective and easy transition to check valves, control valves, and system piping. The Riser Manifolds may be installed in either the horizontal (flow switch on top) or verti- cal (flow going up) for both single sprinkler rises and floor control in high rises. WARNING The Riser Manifolds described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this document, as well as with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protection Asso- ciation, in addition to the standards of any other authorities havingjurisdc- tion. Failure to do so may impair the performance of these devices. The owner is responsible formaintain- ing their fire protection system and de- vices in proper operating condition. The installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer should be contacted with any questions. Technical Data Approvals The Figure 513 (13) Riser Manifolds with a cover tamper switch for the wa- terflow alarm switch are UL Listed, ULC Listed, and FM Approved. The Figure 513 (13) Riser Manifolds without a cover tamper switch for the waterflow alarm switch are UL Listed and FM Approved. Maximum Working Pressure 175 psi (12,1 bar) Test Orifice 5.6K SOK) Assembly The manifold body ofthe Figure 513 is ductile iron, whereas the manifold body ofthe Figure 13 is cast iron. The two assemblies are completely inter- changeable in function, application, and end -to -end laying length. Finish Red painted. Installation The Riser Manifolds may be installed in either the horizontal (flow switch on top) or vertical (flow going up). The inlet of the Riser Manifold may be di- rectly connected to a shut-off control valve. NOTES Where applicable pipe thread sealant is to be applied sparingly. Use of a non -hardening pipe thread sealant is recommended. Never remove any piping component nor correct or modify any piping defi- ciencies without first depressurizing and draining the system. Step 1. Install the manifold body with the flow arrow pointing in the down- stream position using threaded con- nections and/or listed mechanical grooved connections, as applicable Step 2. Connect the drain line, and then close the drain valve. Step 3. Refer to Figure 3 for wiring guidance. All wiring must be per- formed in accordance with the Author- ity Having Jurisdiction and/or the Na- tional Electrical Code. Step 4. Refer to Figure 4 for optional relief valve. Step 5. Place the system in service by filling the system with water. When fill- ing the system, partially open the con- trol valve to slowly fill the system. Fill- ing the system slowly will help avoid damaging the waterflow alarm switch. After the system is fully pressurized, completely open the control valve. Step 6. Secure all supply valves open.
