TFP1O2O <br />Page 16 of 20 <br />the DPV-1 will permit complete draining <br />of the system (including any loose <br />scale) through the main drain port. <br />During the valve resetting procedure <br />and after the system is completely <br />drained, the external reset knob can be <br />easily depressed to externally unlatch <br />the Clapper Assembly, as shown <br />in Figure 3E. As such, the Clapper <br />Assembly is returned to its normal set <br />position to facilitate setting of the dry <br />pipe sprinkler system, without having to <br />remove the Handhole Cover. <br />Installation <br />General Instructions <br />Proper operation of the Model DPV-1 <br />Dry Pipe Valve depends upon its trim <br />being installed in accordance with the <br />instructions given in this Technical Data <br />Sheet. Failure to follow the appropriate <br />trim diagram may prevent the DPV-1 <br />Valve from functioning properly, as <br />well as void listings, approvals, and the <br />manufacturer's warranties. <br />Failure to latch open the Clapper <br />Assembly prior to a system hydro- <br />static test may result in damage to the <br />Clapper Assembly <br />The DPV-1 Valve must be installed in a <br />readily visible and accessible location. <br />The DPV-1 Valve and associated trim <br />must be maintained at a minimum <br />temperature of 40°F (4°C). <br />Heat tracing of the DPV-1 Valve or its <br />associated trim is not permitted. Heat <br />tracing can result in the formation of <br />hardened mineral deposits that are <br />capable of preventing proper operation. <br />The Model DPV-1 Dry Pipe Valve is <br />to be installed in accordance with the <br />following criteria: <br />• All nipples, fittings, and devices must <br />be clean and free of scale and burrs <br />before installation. Use pipe thread <br />sealant sparingly on male pipe <br />threads only. <br />• The DPV-1 Valve must be trimmed <br />in accordance with Figures 4, 5, <br />or 6, as applicable. If the DPV-1 <br />is to be equipped with a Dry Pipe <br />Valve Accelerator, refer to the <br />Technical Data Sheet TFP1105 for <br />the VIZOR Electronic Dry Pipe Valve <br />Accelerator OrTFP1112 forthe Model <br />ACC-1 Mechanical Dry Pipe Valve <br />Accelerator. <br />• Care must betaken to make sure that <br />check valves, strainers, globe valves, <br />etc. are installed with the flow arrows <br />in the proper direction. <br />• Drain tubing to the drip funnel must <br />be installed with smooth bends that <br />will not restrict flow. <br />• The main drain and drip funnel drain <br />may be interconnected provided <br />a check valve is located at least <br />12 inches (300 mm) below the drip <br />funnel. The Low Body Drain Valve <br />(Figure4, 5, or6) may be piped so as <br />to discharge into the Drip Funnel orto <br />a separate drain. <br />• Suitable provision must be made <br />for disposal of drain water. Drainage <br />water must be directed such that it <br />will not cause accidental damage to <br />property or danger to persons. <br />• Unused pressure alarm switch and/or <br />water motor alarm connections must <br />be plugged. <br />• The Pressure Relief Valve provided <br />with the Valve Trim is factory set to <br />relieve at a pressure of approximately <br />45 psi (3,1 bar), which can typically be <br />used for a maximum normal system <br />air pressure of 40 psi (2,8 bar). The <br />Pressure Relief Valve may be reset to <br />a lower or higher pressure; however, <br />it must be reset to relieve at a pres- <br />sure which is in accordance with the <br />requirements of the authority having <br />jurisdiction. <br />To reset the Pressure Relief Valve, <br />first loosen the jam nut and then <br />adjust the cap accordingly — clock- <br />wise for a higher pressure setting <br />or counter -clockwise for a lower <br />pressure setting. After verifying the <br />desired pressure setting, tighten the <br />jam nut. <br />• Installation of an Air Maintenance <br />Device, as described in the Technical <br />Data Section, is recommended. <br />• An Inspector's Test Connection <br />as required By NFPA 13 must be <br />provided on the system piping at the <br />most remote location from the Model <br />DPV-1 Valve. <br />• Conduit and electrical connections <br />are to be made in accordance with <br />the requirements of the authority <br />having jurisdiction and/or the National <br />Electric Code. <br />• Before a system hydrostatic test is <br />performed in accordance with NFPA <br />13 system acceptance test require- <br />ments, the Clapper Assembly is <br />to be manually latched open (Ref. <br />Figure 3D); the Automatic Drain Valve <br />(Figure 4, 5, or 6) is to be temporarily <br />replaced with a 1/2 inch NPT plug, the <br />3/32 inch Vent Fitting (Item 13, Figure <br />4; Item 15, Figure 5; or Item 15, Figure <br />6) is to be temporarily replaced with a <br />1/4 inch NPT plug, and the Handhole <br />Cover Bolts are to be tightened using <br />a cross -draw sequence. <br />Valve Setting <br />Procedure <br />Steps 1 through 11 are to be performed <br />when initially setting the Model DPV-1 <br />Dry Pipe Valve; afteran operational test <br />of the fire protection system; or, after <br />system operation due to a fire. <br />NOTES: If the DPV-1 is equipped with <br />a Dry Pipe Valve Accelerator, refer to its <br />resetting instructions before resetting <br />the DPV-1. Refer to TFP1105 for the <br />VIZOR orTFP1112 for the ACC-1. <br />Based on the instructions provided, <br />reset the Accelerator at the appropriate <br />time during the resetting of the DPV-1. <br />Unless otherwise noted, refer to Figure <br />4, 5, or 6 to identify functional trim <br />components. <br />Step 1. Close the Main Control Valve, <br />and close the Air Supply Control Valve. <br />If the DPV-1 is equipped with a Dry <br />Pipe Valve Accelerator, remove the Dry <br />Pipe Valve Accelerator from service <br />in accordance with its Technical Data <br />Sheet (Refer to TFP1105 for the VIZOR <br />or TFP1112 for the ACC-1). <br />Step 2. Open the Main Drain Valve and <br />all auxiliary drains in the system. Close <br />the auxiliary drain valves after water <br />ceases to discharge. Leave the Main <br />Drain Valve open. <br />Step 3. Depress the plunger of the <br />Automatic Drain Valve to verify that <br />it is open and that the DPV-1 Valve is <br />completely drained. <br />Step 4. Open the Optional Alarm <br />Control Valve, as applicable, if it was <br />closed to silence local alarms. <br />Step 5. As necessary, replace all sprin- <br />klers that have operated. Replacement <br />sprinklers must be of the same type <br />and temperature rating as those which <br />have operated. <br />In order to prevent the possibility of <br />a subsequent operation of an over- <br />heated solder type sprinkler, any solder <br />type sprinklers which were possibly <br />exposed to a temperature greater than <br />their maximum rated ambient must be <br />replaced. <br />Step 6. Push down on the Reset <br />Knob (Figure 3E) to allow the Clapper <br />Assembly to re -seat. <br />Step 7. Pressurize the system with air <br />(or nitrogen) to 10 psi (0,7 bar), and <br />then individually open all auxiliary drain <br />valves in the system piping to drain any <br />remaining water in trapped sections. <br />Close each drain valve as soon as <br />water ceases to discharge. <br />
