Description
DRY PIPE VALVE
The DN100 and DN150, Model DPV-1
Dry Pipe Valves are differential valves
used to automatically control the flow
of water into a dry pipe fire protection
sprinkler systems upon operation of
one or more automatic sprinklers. The
DPV-1 also provides for actuation of
fire alarms upon system operation.
The Model DPV-1 features are as fol-
lows:
• External reset.
• 16 bar pressure rating.
• Unique offset single clapper design
enabling a simple compact valve to
minimize installation labor.
• Ductile iron construction to ensure a
lightweight valve to minimize ship-
ping cost.
• A variety of inlet and outlet connec-
tions.
• Simple reset procedure through the
elimination of priming water.
Dry pipe sprinkler systems are used in
unheated warehouses, parking ga-
rages, store windows, attic spaces,
loading docks, and other areas ex-
posed to freezing temperatures, where
water filled pipe cannot be utilized.
When set for service, the dry pipe
sprinkler system is pressurized with air
(or nitrogen). The loss of pressure
through an operated automatic sprin-
kler in response to heat from a fire
permits the DPV-1 Dry Pipe Valve to
open and allow a flow of water into the
sprinkler system piping. Table A es-
tablishes the minimum required sys-
tem air pressure that includes a safety
factor to help prevent false operations
that occur due to water supply fluctua-
tions.
