Worldwide www.tyco-fire.com Contacts Model PRV-1A Pressure Reducing Valve Pilot Operated General Description The TYCO Model PRV-1A Pressure Reducing Valves, 2 in. to 8 in. (DN50 to DN200), are factory-assembled and fully trimmed valve arrangements for pressure control. They are used on water filled pipes, where it is necessary to reduce a higher inlet pressure to a lower delivery pressure under static and/or residual flowing conditions. The Model PRV-1A Valve is intended to automatically maintain the outlet "set pressure" (static and residual) within a close range, regardless of fluctuations in the higher pressure inlet line or varying flow rates. The Model PRV-1A Valve is provided with a factory outlet “set pressure” of approximately 125 psi (8,6 bar); however, it may be field set to a nominal outlet “set pressure” of 90 to 175 psi (6,2 to 12,1 bar). Typical applications • Within the main header, as shown in Figure 1, supplying wet pipe, dry pipe, deluge, or preaction system risers, and/or a standpipe system supplying hose connections • As part of a sectional floor control assembly, as shown in Figure 2, supplying sprinkler systems, and/or hose stations Features • Eliminates any required bleeding of trapped air from the diaphragm chamber during installation • Accurate pressure control • Epoxy coated internal and external • One piece, one moving par t diaphragm • In-line service • One pilot valve sub-assembly provides for any outlet “set pressure”, that is, 90 to 175 psi (6,2 to 12,1 bar) NOTICE The TYCO Model PRV-1A Pressure Reducing Valves described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this document and with the applicable standards of the NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA), in addition to the standards of any authorities having jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair the performance of these devices. Owners are responsible for maintaining their fire protection system and devices in proper operating condition. Contact the installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer with any questions. Due to the flow regulating characteristic of this device, its impact on system hydraulics should be carefully considered, especially when retrofitted into existing systems.

Operation With reference to Figure 4, the system water supply pressure from the inlet cavity of the Model PRV-1A Valve enters the Diaphragm Chamber through a Strainer. Exit flow from the Diaphragm Chamber through the Pilot Valve is controlled by a regulating spring that is factory set, and subsequently field adjustable, to the desired downstream “set pressure” that is to be maintained. A sensing line connects the outlet of the Pilot Valve to the system piping downstream of the Model PRV-1A Valve via the Pressure Sensor Insert in the outlet cavity. When the downstream pressure rises above...
