Tyco Alarm Valve
Tyco Alarm Valve
Model AV-1-300 Alarm Check Valves,
consideration must be given to the
disposal of the large quantities of wa-
ter that may be associated with drain-
ing the system or performing a ow
test.
Valves installed in the vertical position
must have the ow going up. Valves
installed in the horizontal position
must be positioned so that the drain
connection points down.
The sprinkler system designer must
be aware that the conguration of the
pip ing network and its tendency to
trap pockets of air (such as in the case
of a peaked-roof gridded system) can
af fect the performance of the alarm
sys tem. Although a slight amount
of trapped air is desirable to prevent
signicant pressure increases due to
thermally induced expansion of the
water, a large quantity of trapped air in
a system may result in the possibility
of an intermittent alarm.
The possibility of an intermittent alarm
condition is a consequence of the fact
that the ow out of the system through
the test valve or a single sprinkler is
very small relative to the ow that can
be passed through the valve. This dif-
ference increases with valve size. If the
system were free of trapped air, ow in
would equal ow out and the Water-
way Clapper would always stabilize at
some open position (as needed to ac-
commodate the required ow). With
trapped air in the system, however,
the Waterway Clapper rst opens wid-
er since the system initially demands
greater ow until the air pockets are
compressed (back to nearly the sup-
ply pressure), and then it will tend to
return closer to the Seat Ring. If the
volume of the air pockets is excessive,
ow into the sys tem can be momen-
tarily reduced to nearly zero (once the
air pockets are compressed) and the
Waterway Clapper may close, causing
ow to the alarms to be shutoff.
After the Waterway Clapper has
closed, sufcient water must ow out
of the system before the Waterway
Clapper will again open. A repetition
of the above described condition is
termed an intermittent alarm.
Using a vent (which can also serve
as an end-of-line Inspectors Test
Connection) piped from the top of a
cross main or end of a branch line at
the point most remote from the alarm
valve, and lling the system slowly in
accordance with the steps described
in the Setting Procedure section, can
prevent an excessive amount of air
from being trapped.
Installation
NOTICE
Proper operation of the Tyco
Mod-
el AV-1-300 Alarm Check Valves de-
pends upon the trim described in this
data sheet installed in accordance
with the following instructions. Failure
to follow the appropriate trim installa-
tion instructions may prevent the de-
vice from functioning properly as well
as void listings/approvals and the
manufacturers warranties.
The Alarm Check Valves must be in-
stalled in readily visible and accessible
locations.
It is recommended that provision be
made for viewing the alarm line drain
water by locating the main drain outlet
in a readily visible area.
Wet pipe re protection systems must
be maintained at a minimum tempera-
ture of 40F/4C.
Step 1. Trim the Alarm Check Valve in
accordance with Figure 4, 5, or 6, as
applicable. Apply pipe-thread sealant
sparingly to male threads only.
Step 2. The Alarm Vent Trim illustrated
in Figure 8 must be installed if a water
motor alarm is not to be used.
Step 3. Plug unused alarm connec-
tions.
Step 4. Suitable provision must be
made for disposal of alarm line and
system drainage water. Drainage wa-
ter must be directed so that it will not
cause damage or result in danger ous
conditions.
Step 5. The alarm line drain must be
arranged so that there will be no dan-
ger of freezing.
Step 6. The check valve in the exter-
nally mounted bypass around the Wa-
terway Clapper must be installed with
its arrow pointed up, and the drain
check valve must be installed with its
arrow pointing towards the drain.
Step 7. It is recommended that a vent
connection (which may also be used
as an end-of-line Inspectors Test
Connection), be piped from a cross
main or branch line at the point most
remote from the alarm valve. The vent
line should be connected to the top of
a cross main or to the end of a branch
line and be located at the highest level
of a multi-level installation.
The vent connection can be used
to bleed-off excessive air from the
system, and therefore, minimize the
possibility of a false alarm due to a
transient surge in supply pressure.
The contraction/expansion associated
with an excessive amount of trapped
air could also cause the Waterway
Clapper to cycle open and shut
during an inspectors test or during a
discharge by a single sprinkler.

ALARM VENT TRIM KIT
Setting
Procedure
Steps 1 through 11 are to be per-
formed when initially setting the Mod-
el AV-1-300 Alarm Check Valve or af-
ter system operation due to a re.
NOTICE
Filling the system with water will result
in operation of the associated alarms.
Consequently, notication must rst
be given to the owner and re depart-
ment, central station, or other sig-
nal station to which the alarms are
connected.
Notify the proper authorities and all
personnel who may be affected that
an alarm test is to be performed.
After placing a re protection system
in service, notify the proper authorities
and advise those responsible for mon-
itoring proprietary and/or central sta-
tion alarms.
Step 1. Open the 1/4 inch Gauge Test
Valves for the Supply and System
Pressure Gauges.
Step 2. Check to see that the Hand-
hole Cover bolts are tight. If not, cross-
tighten them.
Step 3. Close the Alarm Test Valve.
Step 4. Open the remote cross main
or branch line vent connection. (Refer
to Step 7 in the Installation section.)
Step 5. Slowly open the main control
valve until the sound of owing water
just begins and then open the valve
one more turn.
Step 6. Close the remote branch line
vent connection after the discharge of
aerated water ceases, and the outlet
has owed full for at least 15 seconds.
Step 7. Fully open the main control
valve.
Step 8. Open the end-of-line Inspec-
tors Test Connection (or Alarm Test
Valve, if acceptable to the authority
having jurisdiction) and verify that the
system alarms operate.
Step 9. Close the end-of-line Inspec-
tors Test Connection (or Alarm Test
Valve).
Step 10. Verify that water ceases to
ow from the alarm line drain. If water
continues to ow, follow the corrective
procedure described in the Care and
Maintenance section.
The Restriction Assembly has a 1/8
inch (3,2 mm) diameter drain orice.
Sufcient time must be allowed for
drainage of the Retard Chamber and
the piping to the water motor alarm.
Step 11. After verication that the ow
of water out of the alarm line drain has
stopped, the alarm valve is set and is
ready for service.
Care and
Maintenance
The following procedures and inspec-
tions should be performed as indi-
cated, in addition to any specic
re quirements of the NFPA. Any impair-
ment must be immediately corrected.
NOTICE
Performing the care and maintenance
procedures will result in operation of
the associated alarms. Consequently,
notication must rst be given to the
owner and re department, central
sta tion, or other signal station to which
the alarms are connected.
Before closing a re protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the re protection system that
it controls, obtain permission to shut
down the affected re protection sys-
tem from the proper authorities and
notify all personnel who may be af-
fected by this decision.
Responsibility lies with the owner for
the in spection, testing, and mainte-
nance of their re protection system
and de vices in compliance with this
docu ment, as well as with the appli-
cable standards of the National Fire
Protec tion Association (for example,
NFPA 25), in addition to the standards
of any authority having jurisdiction.
Contact the installing contractor or
product manufac turer regarding any
questions.
Automatic sprinkler systems are rec-
ommended to be inspected, tested,
and maintained by a qualied Inspec-
tion Service in accordance with local
requirements and/or national codes.
