The 6" Model G-6000P Electric Release Preaction System Riser Assembly can be used as a
Single Interlock Preaction System with Electric Release, or as a Double Interlock Preaction
System with Electric/Pneu-Lectric Release. These �reaction systems are commonly used
where it is im�ortant to control accidental water discharge due to inadvertent damage to the
sprinkler piping. ��e s��ll pr���le�� lig���eig���� pil�� �per��e�� �iking �������� ��l�e ���es ��e s��ll pr���le�� lig���eig���� pil�� �per��e�� �iking �������� ��l�e ���es

cludes an internal check diaphragm, which eliminates the need for a separate
check valve being installed in the system riser.

ing network. If the system �i�ing or a s�rinkler is damaged, the su�ervisory �ressure
is reduced and a "low air" su�ervisory alarm is activated.

G-6000P Valve.
The system �i�ing is �ressurized with air or nitrogen to serve both as a means of su�ervising the integrity of the �i�ing network
and as one �ortion of the system release o�eration. This feature serves to �revent undetected leaks on the system �i�ing net-
work. If the system �i�ing or a s�rinkler is damaged, the su�ervisory �ressure is reduced and a "low air" su�ervisory alarm is
activated.

device and the low air alarm switch must be received before the solenoid is allowed to o�en. The air �ressure switch has two
inde�endently o�erating connections. The high side is wired as a low air su�ervisory switch, and the low side is wired as low air
