General Description Reliable Preaction Systems are designed for water sen- sitive areas which require protection from inadvertent wa- ter flow into the sprinkler system piping. The major benefits of a preaction system, when com- pared with a wet pipe system, are summarized as fol- lows: A. A fire alarm sounds with activation of a detector and prior to the operation of a sprinkler, which may enable extinguishing the fire by handheld means before the operation of any sprinkler head occurs. B. An alarm condition occurs whenever the integrity of piping or sprinklers is accidentally or intentionally disturbed; however, no water flow or water damage will result at that time. C. Speedy detection with an early fire alarm is provided by fire detectors, without the delay associated with water delivery time in a wet pipe system in the event of a fire. Note that with a wet pipe system, the fire alarm is delayed until after water has begun flowing from an operated sprinkler head. To flow water into an electric pneumatic double inter- lock preaction system, two events must take place. A fire detection device must operate, and a low pressure switch must be operated by the loss of system pressure (sprinkler operation). These two signals must coexist at the releasing control panel which only then will energize the solenoid releasing valve, causing water flow into the system and out of the open sprinkler(s). This bulletin describes a Reliable Double Interlock Type D Preaction System which utilizes the Reliable Model H 1½” (40mm) Deluge Riser Assembly. This double in- terlock system uses fire detection devices and system supervisory pressure as two separate zones (inputs) to a cross-zoned Potter PFC-4410-RC Releasing/Control Panel. The system is pressurized (supervised) with air or nitrogen and monitored by the low pressure switch. The solenoid releasing valve remains closed until energized by the releasing control panel. This will occur only when both a fire detection device has operated and the low pressure switch has detected sufficient loss of system supervising pressure (sprinkler operation). In the event that the system piping is ruptured or a sprinkler head is accidentally opened, the low pressure switch will operate and an alarm will sound. The riser as- sembly however, will not release water since the solenoid valve remains closed due to only one input into the cross- zoned control panel. In the event that a fire detection device is falsely oper- ated, the control panel will activate an alarm. The riser assembly, however, will not release water since the sole- noid valve remains closed due to only one input into the cross-zoned control panel. The requirement for simultaneous inputs from both a detector and the loss of supervising pressure before the riser assembly releases water into a preaction system assures maximum protection against inadvertent water flow before a sprinkler is open. Double interlock systems are primarily used to protect refrigerated areas where ac- cidental water release before a sprinkler is opened can cause ice blockage, resulting in an inoperative sprinkler system and substantial property damage. A hydraulic manual emergency releasing station is standard equipment in the Model H Riser Assembly. It is identified by a nameplate attached above the releasing valve. A preaction trim kit is available to provide a bypass drain line and to attach the air or nitrogen supply required to supervise the preaction system. This kit includes a UL Listed Reliable Model G Right Check™ Valve supplied with rigid grooved pipe couplings, as illustrated in Fig- ure 4. To produce a Double Interlock preaction system, the switch/gauge trim kit illustrated in Figure 5 must be added. Approvals The 1½” Model H Riser Assembly is Underwriters Labo- ratories, Inc. Listed in the Special System Water Control Valves Deluge Type (VLFT) category. It is also listed by Underwriters’ Laboratory of Canada. The Model G Right Check™ Valve is listed by UL and ULC. NYC MEA 258- 93-E applies to both the Model H Riser Assembly and the Model G Right Check™ Valve. Technical Data The 1½” (40mm) Reliable Double Interlock Peaction System is rated for a minimum supply pressure of 20 psi (1,4 bar) and a maximum supply pressure of 175 psi (12 bar). Friction loss, expressed in equivalent length of Sch. 40 pipe and based on Hazen-Williams formula with C=120, and a flowing velocity of 15 ft./sec (4.6 m/s), is 29 ft (8.84m) for the Model H Riser Assembly, and 7 ft. (2.1m) for the 2½” (65mm) Model G Right Check™ Valve. Shipping Weights: Model H Riser Assembly52 lbs (23.6 kg) Model A-2 Press. Maint.

Device254 Model G Right Check™ Valve 806 System Design Considerations The automatic sprinklers, air compressor, releasing de- vices, electric releasing control panel, fire detection de- vices, manual pull stations, and signaling devices which are utilized with the Systems must be UL and/or ULC Listed, as applicable. The Reliable Double Interlock Preaction Riser equip- ment (Figure 6) and all interconnecting piping must be located in a readily visible and accessible location and in an area which can be maintained at a minimum tempera- ture of 40°F (4°C). NOTE: HEAT TRACING IS NOT PERMITTED. The solenoid valve is operated and supervised by the electric releasing control panel. Details on connecting the electrical portion of this system to a Releasing/Con- trol Panel can by found in Reliable Bulletin 700. Hydrostatic Testing of Systems As required by NFPA 13, fire sprinkler systems with working pressures up to and including 150 psi are to be hydrostatically tested at a water pressure of 200 psi and maintain that pressure without loss for two hours. Fire sprinkler systems with working pressures above 150 psi are required to be hydrostatically tested at 50 psi above the system working pressure and maintain that pressure without loss for two hours. In addition to the hydrostatic tests described above, dry pipe and double interlock preaction systems require an additional low pressure air test. In some cases, hydrostatic testing (in accordance with the NFPA 13 requirements noted above) will result in pressures that exceed the working pressure of the valve and trim kit for the two-hour test period. The valve and applicable trim kit have been tested, approved and listed under these conditions and as such, hydrostatic testing in accordance with NFPA 13 is acceptable. In addition, the clapper can remain in the closed position and the trim kit need not be isolated, as each has been designed to withstand hydrostatic testing as required by NFPA 13. Hydrostatically testing the valve and trim to pressures higher than their rating is limited to the hydrostatic test as referenced by NFPA 13. It does not address the occurrence(s) of a “water hammer” effect, which can in- deed damage the valve. A “water hammer” in the water supply piping of the valve can create pressures in ex- cess of the rated pressure and should be avoided by all necessary means. This condition may be created from improper fire pump settings, underground construction work, or an improper venting of trapped air in the water supply piping. System Air Pressure Requirements In accordance with NFPA 13 (1996), the Reliable Double Interlock Type D Preaction System requires a minimum of 7 psi (0,5 bar) pneumatic pressure to supervise the sprinkler system. The Model A-2 Pressure Maintenance Device is used to maintain system pneumatic pressure at approximately 10 psi (0,7 bar). The Model A-2 Pres- sure Maintenance Device controls supervisory pressure where a dry nitrogen gas supply or a clean, dependable and continuous (24 hours per day, 7 days per week) compressed air source is available. Adjusting system pressure to approximately 10 psi (0,7 bar) is accomplished by referring to Reliable Bulletin 254 for adjustment procedure. The low pneumatic pres- sure supervisory switch (Item 5, Figure 5) is factory set to operate between 8 and 4 psi (0,55 and 0,28 bar) with decreasing pressure. Adjustment, if required, should be made according to Bulletin A05-0176 included with the switch. System Electrical Requirements All releasing, alarm and detection devices in the Reli- able Double Interlock Preaction System are supervised by the Potter PFC-4410-RC Releasing/Control Panel. Typical connections of these devices are shown in Figure 1. Connect the Common (C) and Normally Closed (NC) terminals of the system low pressure switch (Figure 5) to initiating Zone 2 as shown in Figure 2 or 3. Switch contacts must be in the open position when the system is pneumatically pressurized to 10 psi (0,5 bar). Install fire detection devices to initiating Zone 1 as shown in Figure 2 or 3. The power supply, standby emergency power supply, battery charger and rectifier circuitry are all contained within the Potter PFC-4410-RC Releasing/Control Panel. Batteries that provide up to 90 hours of standby power are stored inside the panel. For additional information and details on wiring refer to Reliable Bulletin 700. Selection of Class A or B wiring must be according to local codes and the Authority Hav- ing Jurisdiction. 4. Figure 1 System Operation The Reliable Double Interlock Type D Preaction System requires two independent events to coexist before water flow will occur. A fire detection device must operate and the low pneumatic pressure switch must actuate by re- ducing the system supervising pressure (sprinkler opera- tion). The cross-zoned control panel will now energize the solenoid valve to release water through the riser as- sembly into the system piping and out the open sprinkler for complete operation of the system. The Reliable Double Interlock Preaction System will au- tomatically operate only when both a fire detection device and the low supervising pressure switch are activated. Operation of either one of these items will only cause an alarm to annunciate, and will not fill the sprinkler system piping with water. When the releasing control panel energizes the sole- noid valve open, water flows from the supply through the riser assembly into the system and to the water flow alarm pressure switch. The valve maintains its open po- sition until the solenoid is de-energized. Caution: The solenoid valve must be maintained open to prevent automatic closing of the Model H Deluge Riser Assembly. The Potter PFC-4410-RC Releasing/Control Panel has a latching feature for this purpose. After system shutdown and draining, the riser assem- bly is easily reset without special tools. First, restore all sprinklers exposed to excessive heat and then restore detection devices by resetting or replacing any operated device. Once detection devices are restored, reset the low supervisory pressure switch by restoring the super- visory pressure to 10 psi (0,5 bar). Subsequently reset the releasing control panel (see Bulletin 700) and the supply pressure (see Bulletin 507). Double Interlock Riser Installation The recommended sequence of installation is as fol- lows (refer to Figure 6): 1. Install the Pre-assembled Deluge Riser Assembly (P/N 6503003001) in accordance with Bulletin 507, “Model H Deluge Riser Assembly.” 2. The Preaction Trim Kit (P/N 6501200112),illustrated in Figure 4, consists of items 1 through 17. The as- sembly has a convenient arrangement for draining the sprinkler system through the Model H Riser As- sembly drain line. Assemble the preaction trim kit, as illustrated, using a suitable Teflon- based pipe thread sealant applied to each male thread. 5. 4. Install the Pre-assembled Model A-2 Pressure Main- tenance Device (P/N 6304000100) with pressure gauge in place, onto the Switch/Gauge Trim Kit as illustrated in Figure 6. Adjust the output pressure to approximately 10 psi (0,7 bar) according to the in- structions in Bulletin 254, included. 5. When a dedicated pneumatic pressure supply is re- quired, a small tank mounted air compressor [such as the hp, 2 gal. (7.6 liters) Gast Model 1LAA-11T- M100X illustrated in Figure 6] can be used to input the Model A-2 Device. If moisture and possible ice blockage is of concern, a dry nitrogen gas cylinder with the Nitrogen Regu- lating Device described in Bulletin 254,and illustrat- ed in Figure 6, can be used to supply the Model A-2 Device. Maintenance Reliable Double Interlock Preaction Systems and asso- ciated equipment shall periodically be given a thorough inspection and test. NFPA 25, Inspection, Testing and Maintenance of Water Based Fire Protection Systems, provides minimum maintenance requirements. Systems should be tested, operated, cleaned and inspected at least annually, and parts replaced as required. Refer to Bulletin 507 for information regarding maintenance of the solenoid valve and the manual emergency station valve. Bulletin 254 provides information on the Model A-2 Pres- sure Maintenance Device and the automatic Nitrogen Regulating Device. Resetting Double Interlock Systems Refer to Figure 6. 1. Close the supervised valve controlling water supply to the riser assembly and shut off the system air/nitro- gen supply at the Model A-2 Pressure Maintenance Device. 2. Open all drain valves and the manual emergency station valve to drain the system. 3. Open all drain valves and vents at low points through- out the system, closing them when flow of water to drain has stopped. 4. Inspect and replace any portion of the sprinkler sys- tem and detection system exposed to fire conditions. Reset detectors (refer to Bulletin 700). Note: It is not possible to reset the Potter PFC-4410- RC Releasing/Control Panel (which is in the cross- zoned mode) until Step “6”, which resets the low su- pervising pressure switch, has been completed. 5. Restore the system supervising pressure to approxi- mately 10 psi (0,7 bar) by opening the valves on the Model A-2 Pressure Maintenance Device (refer to Bulletin 254) and adjusting the regulator, as required. 6. Verify that the by-pass drain valve is closed to pre- vent the loss of pneumatic supervising pressure out of the automatic drain valve. When the supervising pressure has reached the 10 psi (0,7 bar) setting, the low supervising pressure switch will automatically reset (contacts now open). Assemble rigid couplings by first applying a thin coat of silicone or other lubricant that does not contain hydrocarbons to the lips and outside surfaces of the gasket. Position gaskets uniformly on the valve and adjacent reducers so that all grooves are exposed. Place coupling housings over gaskets and engage the housing keys in the grooves. Insert bolts and tighten nuts alternately until housing halves are drawn together uniformly. 3. The Double Interlock Switch/Gauge Trim Kit (P/N 6501200110 or P/N 6501200119), illustrated in Fig- ure 5, consists of items 1 through 6. Assemble the kit using a suitable Teflon - based pipe thread sealant applied to each male thread. Verify that the check valve orientation is according to the directional flow arrow illustrated. Install the pressure gauge included with this trim kit into the Model A-2 Pressure Maintenance Device af- ter removing the ¼” NPT (R¼) plug, as illustrated in Figure 6. The pressure switch is factory adjusted for operation between 8 to 4 psi (0,55 to 0,28 bar). If field adjust- ment is required or the lowest possible setting (4 psi or 0,28 bar) is desired, refer to Figure 5 and proceed as follows: Class A Wiring Figure 2 Class b Wiring Figure 3 Remove cover using wrench provided. Loosen locking screw until adjustment wheel ro- tates freely. Rotate adjustment wheel clockwise to end of ad- justment for lowest setting possible. Re-tighten locking screw to initial conditions. Replace cover. Switch contact ratings are: 10A, ½ HP @ 125/250 VAC 2.5A, @ 6/12/24 VDC Consult the enclosed switch manufacturer’s lit- erature (Bulletin A05-0176) for more detailed in- formation. 6.

With the supervising pressure switch reset (Step “6”) and all detectors replaced or reset (Step “4”), the Potter PFC-4410-RC Releasing/Control Panel can be reset. Pushing the “System Reset” switch in the panel will simultaneously restore the solenoid valve to the closed condition. 8. Restore water supply to the riser assembly in accor- dance with Bulletin 507, “Model H Deluge Riser As- sembly Instructions for Installation, Operation, Care and Maintenance.” Inspection and Testing Refer to Figure 6. 1. Water supply - be sure the valve controlling water supply to the riser assembly is open fully and prop- erly supervised. 2. Other trimming valves - check that all pressure gauge valves are open, and that the Model A-2 Pres- sure Maintenance Device ¾” NPT (R¾) fill valve is closed. The two ¼” NPT (R¼) by-pass line valves must be fully open. 3. Check that system supervising pressure is approxi- mately 10 psi (0,7 bar). 4. Operation test - for detection only, operate by actua- tion of a keyed manual (electrical) emergency station (refer to Bulletin 708, “Supertrol Electrical Systems,” for details). Double interlock systems also require the supervisory pressure to be discharged, through the in- spectors test station, or other venting means, below 4 psi (0,28 bar) before total system operation will occur. Note: Total system operation testing will cause wa- ter flow through the riser assembly and into the system. Where difficulty in performance is experienced, contact Reliable Technical Services before any field adjustment is to be made.

Close the supervised valve controlling water supply to the riser assembly, and note the lower water pres- sure gauge reading. 2. Operate a double interlock system by operating one detector and also venting the supervising pressure through the inspectors test station, below 4 psi (0,28 bar), to operate the low pressure switch. 3. Operation of a detector and the low supervising pressure switch must result in a sudden drop of wa- ter pressure as the solenoid valve opens. When the water pressure gauge drops to zero, open the main drain and by-pass drain valves until all water above the supervised control valve drains away.

SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE WARNING: THE OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM IN PROPER OPERATING CONDITION. ANY SYSTEM MAINTENANCE OR TESTING THAT INVOLVES PLACING A CONTROL VALVE OR DETECTION SYSTEM OUT OF SERVICE MAY ELIMINATE THE FIRE PROTECTION OF THAT SYS- TEM. PRIOR TO PROCEEDING, NOTIFY ALL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION. CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO EMPLOYMENT OF A FIRE PATROL IN THE AFFECTED AREA. WARNING: PRIOR TO OPERATING THE SOLENOID VALVE, BE SURE TO CLOSE THE SYSTEM CONTROL VALVE TO AVOID UNINTENTIONAL OPERATION OF THE DELUGE VALVE 1. Inspections: It is imperative that the system be inspected and tested in accordance with NFPA 25 on a regular basis. The frequency of the inspections may vary due to contaminated water supplies, corrosive water supplies, or corrosive atmospheres. In addition, the alarm devices, detection systems, or other connected trim may require a more frequent schedule. Refer to the system description and applicable codes for minimum requirements. 2. The valve must be inspected at least monthly for cracks, corrosion, leakage, etc., and cleaned, repaired, or re- placed, or replaced as necessary. 3. If leakage is suspected through the solenoid valve, the valve diaphragms and seats should be inspected and if necessary, repaired or replaced. WARNING: CLOSE SYSTEM CONTROL VALVE, TURN OFF POWER SUPPLY, AND DEPRESSURIZE VALVE BEFORE DISASSEMBLING VALVE. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE VALVE FROM THE PIPE LINE TO MAKE INSPECTIONS. 4. When lubricating valve components, use high grade silicone grease (Dow Corning® 111 Compound Lubricant or equal). 5. When reassembling, tighten parts to torque values indicated in the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions (packed with valve). 6. After maintenance is completed, operate the valve a few times to be sure of proper operation. A metallic “click” signifies the solenoid is operating. 7. All service must be performed by qualified personnel. Upon completion of inspections or replacement of the valve, the entire system must be checked for proper operation. See appropriate system description and testing instruc- tions for additional information.

Application The Reliable Model G5-80, G5-56, G5-42 and G5-28 are the most versatile quick response concealed sprinklers avail- able. It provides the best form of fire protection while offering an attractive appearance and 3/4” (19mm) of cover adjust- ment for ease of installation. The small diameter cover plate assembly is easily attached and blends into the ceiling, con- cealing the most dependable fire protection available, an au- tomatic sprinkler system. The Model G5-80, G5-56, G5-42 and G5-28 are designed for use where aesthetic appearance is important. Offices, hos- pitals, motels and restaurants are but a few of the applications where it can be used. The Model G5-80, G5-56, G5-42 and G5-28 are UL Listed Quick Response Concealed sprinklers intended for use in accordance with NFPA 13. FM Approves the G5-56 and the G5-28 sprinkler as a standard response concealed sprinkler intended for use in accordance with FM Loss Prevention Data Sheet 2.0. Product Description The Reliable Model G5-80, G5-56, G5-42 and G5-28 uses a proven quick response fusible element in a standard style sprinkler frame with a drop-down deflector. This assembly is recessed into the ceiling and concealed by a flat cover plate assembly. The threaded engagement provides ¾” (19mm) of cover adjustment. The flat cover plate is attached to the skirt using either 135°F (57°C) or 165°F (74°C) ordinary tempera- ture classification solder. When the ceiling temperature rises, the solder holding the flat cover plate melts, the flat cover plate released thus expos- ing the sprinkler inside to the rising ambient temperature. The subsequent fusing of the element opens the waterway and causes the deflector to distribute the water. Any secure engagement between the cover plate and cup will assure that the drop-down deflector is properly located below the ceiling. Plain Cover Plate Perforated Cover Plate Installation Do not install the G5-80, G5-56, G5-42 and G5-28 in ceilings which have positive pressure in the space above. Cut a 2 5/8” inch (67mm) diameter hole is cut in the ceiling, the sprinkler is easily installed with the Model FC Wrench. The wrench has a socket drive which is inserted into the body of the sprinkler. When installing a sprinkler the wrench is first positioned into the sprinkler/cup assembly until the wrench socket engages the body of the sprinkler. The sprinkler is then tightened into the pipe fitting. When inserting or remov- ing the wrench from the sprinkler/cup assembly, care should be taken to prevent damage to the sprinkler. DO NOT WRENCH ON ANY OTHER PART OF THE SPRINKLER/ CUP ASSEMBLY. Install the cover plate by hand turning the cover in the clockwise direction until it is tight against the ceil- ing. A protective cap is provided to protect the drop-down sprinkler deflector from damage which could occur during construction before the cover plate is installed. The cap is factory installed inside the sprinkler cup. Remove cap to install sprinkler, then re- install cap until the cover plate is installed. Maintenance The Model G5-80, G5-56, G5-42 and G5-28 should be in- spected and the sprinkler system maintained in accordance with NFPA 25. Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water, am- monia or any other cleaning fluids. Remove any sprinkler that has been painted (other than factory applied) or damaged in any way. Concealed sprinklers cover plates can not be painted in the field, after installation or have any other coating applied other than the factory finish. A stock of spare sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick replacement of damaged or oper- ated sprinklers. Prior to installation, sprinklers should be main- tained in the original cartons and packaging to minimize the potential for damage to sprinklers that would cause improper operation or non-operation.
