Bulletin 618 January 2018 <br /> Reliable <br /> Model TD Test and Drain Valve cULus Listed,FM Approved <br /> 300 psi(20.7 bar)pressure rated <br /> Product Description <br /> The Reliable Model TD Test and Drain Valve is a single-han <br /> dle,tri-position ball valve allowing both testing of the waterflow <br /> alarm and draining of a wet-pipe fire protection system. The <br /> valves are cULus Listed and FM Approved. The Model TD <br /> Valve has a pressure rating of 300 psi(20.7 bar). W f r{ <br /> sol <br /> Model TD Test and Drain Valves have a restricted orifice with • <br /> the available K-factors listed in Table A. Nominal Valve Sizes <br /> are 1", 1 1/4", or 2" with either NPT or IS07-1 end connections. <br /> Table C identifies the materials used in the Model TD valve. <br /> Model TD Test&Drain Valve 1"with optional relief valve kit <br /> The Model TD valve is available with an optional relief valve kit. <br /> The relief valve kit includes a Reliable Model A relief valve along <br /> with a hose and all fittings needed to connect the relief valve to <br /> the Model TD valve. The Model A relief valve is UL Listed and <br /> FM Approved for use on fire protection systems. The Model A <br /> relief valve is available with a nominal pressure rating of 175 <br /> psi (12 bar), 185 psi (13 bar), 210 psi (14 bar), 260 psi (18A + _� <br /> a <br /> aar),or 310 psi(21 bar). See Reliable Technical Bulletin 257 for <br /> dditional information on the Model A relief valve. An optional <br /> mocking handle kit is available for use with customer supplied <br /> padlocks. <br /> Installation Model TD Test& Drain Valve 1 1/4"with optional relief valve kit <br /> Connect the "IN" port of the Model TD valve to the wet-pipe <br /> sprinkler system. Connect the "OUT" port to a properly sized <br /> drain, <br /> The optional relief valve kit is installed as shown in the photo- <br /> graphs in this bulletin after removing the plugs in the cap and ` <br /> body of the Model TD valve. The relief valve is commonly in _ � � <br /> stalled after hydrostatic testing. <br /> Operation <br /> To run a test,rotate the handle counter-clockwise until the"Test" Model TD Test&Drain Valve 2"with optional relief valve kit <br /> position is aligned with the ball detent. Note that rotating the <br /> valve to the "test" position is intended to operate the sprinkler <br /> system's waterflow alarm. To drain, rotate the handle further <br /> until the "Drain" position is aligned with the ball detent. Return <br /> the handle to the "Off" position when all testing and draining <br /> functions have been completed.
