Model DPV-1 Preaction Type B Valves
DN100 and DN150
General
Description
The TYCO Model DPV-1 Preaction Type
B Valves automatically control the flow
of water into preaction fire protection
sprinkler systems upon operation of a
fire detection system or operation of
one or more automatic sprinklers.
The Model DPV-1 Preaction Type B
Valves also provide for actuation of fire
alarms upon system operation, and
other features are as follows:
• 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
connections
• simple reset procedure through the
elimination of priming water
Preaction Type B Systems are used
in unheated warehouses, parking
garages, attic spaces, loading docks,
and other areas exposed to freez-
ing temperatures, where water filled
pipe cannot be utilized. Although the
typical application for Preaction Type
B Systems are the same as for stan-
dard automatic dry pipe sprinkler
systems, the added feature of system

operation by a fire detection system
can potentially increase the speed of
water delivery by starting to pre-fill
the system piping with water before
a sprinkler operation. Consequently,
these systems may be desirable for
larger system volumes.
A TYCO Model ACC-1 Dry Pipe Valve
Accelerator is provided as standard so
that should operation occur via opening
of one or more sprinklers prior to oper-
ation of the fire detection system, the
sprinkler system will still have the capa-
bility to potentially increase the speed
of water delivery.
