ALARM VALVE MODEL-H (DUCTILE IRON)

Product catalog summary
Technical Specifications:
The Alarm Valve Model-H is constructed from ductile iron and available in sizes 80, 100, 150, and 200 NB. It supports flange and groove connections with a maximum service pressure of 17.6 kg/sq.cm (250 psi), except for the 200 NB size, which is FM approved up to 200 psi. The valve is UL Listed and FM Approved, with a factory hydrostatic test pressure of 35 bar (500 psi). The finish is Red RAL 3001.
Operation:
Designed for wet pipe sprinkler systems, the valve ensures positive water flow for alarm operation. It features an external bypass to prevent false alarms under varying pressure conditions. The valve opens upon sprinkler activation, allowing water flow and alarm transmission.
Installation Guidelines:
The valve must be installed vertically in a visible and accessible location. For fluctuating water pressure, a variable pressure trim with a retard chamber is required. Proper installation of the trim is crucial to maintain functionality and warranty.
Inspection and Maintenance:
Regular inspections, at least twice a week, are recommended to ensure all components are in proper condition. Quarterly maintenance should include testing the alarm system and cleaning strainers and check valves.
Accessories:
The valve can be equipped with a retard chamber for variable pressure systems, a water motor sprinkler alarm, and an optional pressure switch for electric alarms.
False Alarm Prevention:
Regular inspection of the valve clapper and cleaning of any debris is necessary to prevent false alarms. Trapped air should be bled off to avoid intermittent alarms.
Part List:
The document includes a detailed part list for the valve, specifying materials such as ductile iron, stainless steel, and EPDM, with optional bronze and neoprene components.
Pressure Loss Data:
A chart provides nominal pressure loss data against flow rates for different valve sizes, aiding in system design and analysis.
Specifications and Components:
The document lists various components used in fire protection systems, including reducing hex nipples, ball valves, pressure gauges, alarm test line assemblies, and more. Each component is specified with dimensions and quantities required for different configurations.
Procedures and Schematic Diagrams:
Schematic diagrams for constant and variable pressure trims for alarm valve models with different configurations are included. It emphasizes keeping the sprinkler alarm control valve normally open and the sprinkler alarm test valve normally closed to ensure proper functioning of the alarm system.
Installation Dimensions:
Installation dimensions are provided for different sizes (80NB, 100NB, 150NB, 200NB) with both constant and variable pressure trims. Dimensions are given in millimeters and are approximate.
Warranty and Liability:
HD Fire Protect Pvt. Ltd. offers a two-year warranty on its products against defects in material and workmanship under normal use. The warranty excludes misuse, improper installation, and unauthorized repairs. HD Fire is not liable for system design errors, improper installation, or any incidental or consequential damages.
Standards and Compliance:
The equipment must be installed according to NFPA standards or similar organizations and government codes. The document states that product development is ongoing, and specifications may change without notice.

FOR 165.1mm REQUIREMENT, SPECIFY IN ORDER Operation of one or more automatic fire sprinklers causes the water to flow into the sprinkler system causing the alarm valve to open, allowing continuous flow of water into the system and transmittal of alarms, both electrical and mechanical. WEIGHT IN KG Valve Size Alarm Valve is a double seated clapper check valve with grooved seat design, which ensures positive water flow for alarm operation and is designed for installation in wet pipe sprinkler system. External bypass prevents false alarm under all supply pressure condition. In the event of variable pressure condition, false alarm is prevented with the provision of retard chamber, thus the design allows for installation under both variable and constant supply pressure condition. The fire protection system initially when being pressurized, will allow water to flow into the system until water supply and system pressure is equalized and the clapper closes the waterway. Once the pressure is stabilized, the fire protection system is ready to be placed in service and then the alarm control valve must be opened. Under normal condition, the water pressure gauge connected to the system side of the alarm valve would show a higher or equal pressure reading than the water pressure gauge connected to the supply side of the valve. This occurs because of the bypass line connecting downstream and upstream side of the alarm valve, which allows water pressure surge to pass without lifting the valve clapper off its seat, thereby causing excessive high pressure surge entrapped in the system side due to presence of a check valve, which generally prevents false alarm.

ALARM VALVE MODEL-H (DUCTILE IRON)-2

HD FIRE PROTECT PVT. LTD. Sudden high pressure surge, as might be encountered by start-up of a large fire pump may lead the valve clapper to lift momentarily, allowing water to flow through grooves in the valve seat to the retard chamber. The water in the alarm line is automatically drained out, which helps to prevent false alarm due to successive transient surge in supply pressure. The restriction assembly located beneath the retard chamber consists of inlet and drain restriction orifices, which are established by considering the volume of the retard chamber to meet the listing and approval...

Inspect the valve rubber clapper face. If worn or damaged, replace it. Be certain that dirt, stone or any other foreign object have not accumulated under the clapper face and lodged in the groove or holes. Clean the clapper face thoroughly. If the seat ring surface is nicked or scoured, it might be possible to repair the same using lapping compound. If not, replace the complete valve or return it to the manufacturer’s works for repair. If sprinkler alarm bell is not functioning or the impeller is jammed, please follow the maintenance guidelines provided in the catalogue for sprinkler alarm bell....
