General
Description
The 4 and 6 inch (DN100 and DN150),
Model DV-1 External Resetting Del-
uge Valves are differential latch type
valves designed for fire protection sys-
tem service. They are used as "auto-
matic water control valves" in deluge,
preaction, and special types of fire pro-
tection systems such as foam-water
and double interlock. The DV-1 Valves
also provide for actuation of fire alarms
upon system operation.

The external resetting feature of the
DV-1 Valve provides for easy resetting
of a deluge or preaction system, with-
out having to open a valve handhole
cover to manually reposition a clapper
and latch mechanism. Simply de-
pressing a plunger at the left side of
the DV-1 Valve allows the clapper and
latch to reset.
Operation of a DV-1 Valve is provided
by an actuation (detection) system that
is separate from the normally dry sys-
tem piping. Trim configuration options
for automatic operation of the DV-1
include wet pilot actuation, dry pilot
actuation, and electric actuation. Trim
arrangements also provide for local
emergency (manual) release of the
DV-1 Valves.
The Model DV-1 Deluge Valves de-
scribed herein must be installed and
maintained in compliance with this
document, as well as with the applica-
ble standards of the National Fire Pro-
tection Association, in addition to the
standards of any other authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction. Failure to do so may
impair the integrity of these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and de-
vices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or manufac-
turer should be contacted relative to
any questions.
