2'; 2%'; 65mm, 3', 4', 6", 150mm & 8" MODEL RCV ® SWING CHECK VALVE FIRE SPRINKLER CORPORATION STANDARD & "SHOTGUN" DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Globe Model RCV Swing Check Valves feature a swing type clapper designed for use in fire sprinkler or other types of water piping systems that incorporate grooved connecting pipe ends. They are effectively used when it is necessary to permit water flow in one direction only, preventing flow in the reverse direction # - (non-return). Because the RCV incorporates a spring-loaded 1 clapper assembly, it may be installed in either the vertical position (upward flow only) or horizontal position (hinge pin to the top). Most commonly, it is used with various configurations of fire department connections for fire sprinkler systems, by-pass connections, grav- ity pressure tank and, pump discharge in connections from public water supplies to automatic sprinkler systems, etc. As an alternative to using an alarm check valve with a wet 4 sprinkler system, an RCV Swing Check Valve may be used in a ; j "Shotgun" arrangement whereby the valve is trimmed in a similar manner but utilizes an electric water flow switch and alarm bell MODEL RCV instead of a water motor gong for fire notification. SWING CHECK VALVE The body of the Globe RCV Swing Check Valve is constructed of high tensile strength cast iron having considerable ductility to reduce damage in field handling. It meets the ASTM A126 Class B rating. The RCV clapper assembly is made of stainless steel and has an E.P.D.M. rubber facing. It effectively provides a leak tight 1/9"dBNPf seal against back pressures greater than one (1) psi. `2)PL`S.1 I IL I APPROVALS "A"OPTIONAL + FOR RISER INSTALLATION / cULus Listed •FM Approved •NYC-DOB MEA 305-05-E TECHNICAL DATA will N *Water Working Pressure Rating 300 psi (20.7 bars) �`"',,�l i i----- •Factory Tested Hydrostatically to 600 psi (41.4 bars) == I' 'I •Equivalent feet of pipe: 2", 21/2" & 3" Valves = 7.2 feet, 4" Valve = 9.9 feet, 6" Valve = 16.1 feet, 8" Valve = feet PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS WEIGHT SIZE A C E F G H I J K L (lbs.) no trim 2" 1" 4" 3 1/2" 4 1/2" 6 1/2" 1 1/2" 1 1/2" 2 1/4" 2 1/2" 4 3/4" 4.5 2 1/2" 1 1/4" 4 1/2" 4" 5" 7" 1 1/2" 1 1/2" 2 1/2" 2 3/4" 5 1/2" 8 65mm 1 1/4" 4 1/2" 4" 5" 7" 1 1/2" 1 1/2" 2 1/2" 2 3/4" 5 1/2" 8 3" 1 1/4" 5" 4 1/2" 6" 7 3/4" 1 3/4" 2" 3" 3 3/4" 6 3/4" 12 4" 2" 6 1/4" 4" 6 1/2" 8 1/2" 1 1/2" 2 1/2" 3 1/2" 4 1/4" 7 1/2" 17.5 6" 2" 8" 5" 8" 10 1/2" 1 1/2" 3 1/4" 4 1/4" 5 1/2" 10" 40.5 150mm 2" 8" 5" 8" 10 1/2" 1 1/2" 3 1/4" 4 1/4" 5 1/2" 10" 40.5 8" 2" 10" 7 3/4" 12 1/4" 15" 2 3/4" 4 3/4" 5 1/2" 7 1/4" 12 3/4" 74 FEBRUARY 2015 J-10 BULLETIN RCV.
