Model RSV-1 Residential Shut-Off Valve
1 Inch and 2 Inch (DN25 and DN50) for
Dual-Purpose Residential Water Supply
General
Description
The TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Model
RSV-1 Residential Shut-Off Valves
are intended for use in dual-purpose
residential water supply piping that
serves both domestic and residential
fire protection sprinkler system needs.
The 1-Inch (DN25) Valve is intended
for NFPA 13D system needs, whereas
the 2-Inch (DN50) Valve is intended for
systems designed in accordance with
either NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R.
When a fire sprinkler operates, the
Model RSV-1 Residential Shut-Off
Valve automatically shuts off water
flow to the domestic system and di-
verts the available water supply to the
fire sprinkler system. Consequently,
when the Model RSV-1 Valve is uti-
lized, the system designer does not
need to add the domestic flow de-
mand to the fire sprinkler system flow
demand, as would otherwise be re-
quired by NFPA 13R.
Consider use of the Model RSV-1
Residential Shut-Off Valve when either
the water supply cannot adequately
provide for both the domestic design
demand and the fire sprinkler flow de-
mand, or it is necessary to increase
the effectiveness of the fire sprinkler
system by automatically shutting off
the domestic flow.
The Model RSV-1 Residential Shut-
Off Valve maximizes the effective use
of an existing water supply. Therefore,
in areas with limited water supplies, it
may eliminate the need to add costly
pumps, pressurized reservoirs, or elec-
trically operated domestic shut-off
valves. The Model RSV-1 Valve has a
built-in check valve in the fire sprinkler
system outlet that eliminates the need
for a separate check valve. Also, the
Model RSV-1 Valve automatically re-
sets, thereby eliminating the need for
valve disassembly after a fire sprinkler
system test or operation.
