General
Description
The TYCO Residential Dry Pipe System
provides a normally dry system for
areas subject to freezing or areas
that may be inadvertently subject to
freezing.
The key components of the Residential
Dry Pipe System are:
• Model RCP-1 Residential Control
Panel
• Residential Sprinklers specifically
Listed for use in residential dry pipe
systems (versus being limited to wet
pipe systems only)
Page 1 of 12
• TYCO CPVC Pipe and Fittings made
with BLAZEMASTER Compound
• SprinkFDT Fluid Delivery Calculation
Software
Typically, residential sprinklers based
on their Listing are limited to wet pipe
sprinkler systems to assure speed of
water delivery for a prescribed design
area (the number of design sprinklers).
The Model RCP-1 Residential Control
Panel, in combination with specific
Residential Sprinklers listed for use in
dry pipe systems, provides options for
areas sensitive to freezing.
To achieve UL Listing, the Residential
Sprinklers have undergone rigorous
testing to meet UL1626 fire test crite-
ria, including a 15-second delay for
water delivery as required for residen-
tial sprinklers intended for use in dry
pipe systems.
NOTICE
The Residential Dry Pipe System
described herein must be installed
and maintained by qualified personnel
in compliance with this document, and
with the applicable standards of the
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSO-
CIATION (NFPA), in addition to the
requirements of any other authorities
having jurisdiction. Failure to do so may
impair the performance of this device.
The owner is responsible for maintain-
ing their fire protection system and
devices in proper operating condition
and in compliance with all applicable
standards and requirements. Contact
the installing contractor or product
manufacturer with any questions.
Do not disconnect batteries or turn off
AC power to quiet unwanted alarms.
The Model RCP-1 Panel will not operate
(that is, release water or energize
alarms) if AC power is not connected,
has failed, or has been interrupted
for any reason and the battery is dis-
connected, drained, or improperly
connected.
The use of an automatic sprinkler
system does not allow for omission of a
Household Fire Alarm System installed
per NFPA 72. The Model RCP-1 Panel
is not intended to be used as part of a
Household Fire Alarm System.
