Model F1FR series sprinklers are Stan- dard Spray sprinklers, with the excep- tion of the Model F1FR56 Conventional sprinkler which is an Old-style/Conven- tional sprinkler. The Model F1FR Series automatic sprinklers utilize a 3.0 mm frangible glass bulb. These sprinklers have demonstrat- ed response times in laboratory tests which are five to ten times faster than standard response sprinklers. This quick response enables the Model F1FR Series sprinklers to apply water to a fire faster than standard-response sprinklers of the same temperature rating. The glass bulb consists of an accurately controlled amount of special fluid hermetically sealed inside a precisely man- ufactured glass capsule. This glass bulb is specially con- structed to provide fast thermal response. Vail Fire & Emergency Services 02/24/17 2. At normal temperatures, the glass bulb contains the fluid in both the liquid and vapor phases. The vapor phase can be seen as a small bubble. As heat is applied, the liquid expands, forcing the bubble smaller and smaller as the liq- uid pressure increases. Continued heating forces the liquid to push out against the bulb, causing the glass to shatter, opening the waterway and allowing the deflector to distrib- ute the discharging water. Model F1FR Series sprinklers provide a wide range of op- tions where quick-response, glass bulb sprinklers are used: • Pendent, recessed pendent, upright, horizontal side- wall, and vertical sidewall deß ectors • K-factors of 2.8 (40 metric), 4.0 (57 metric), 4.2 (60 metric), and 5.6 (80 metric) • Flush, recessed, and concealed installations See the Design and Installation Information table in this Bulletin for information on the approvals and availability of specific Model F1FR series sprinkler configurations. Model F1FR Recessed Pendent and Recessed Horizon- tal Sidewall sprinklers are required to be used with Reliable Model F1, F2, or FP recessed escutcheons. See the Re- cessed Escutcheon Data table in this Bulletin for listing and approval information with each specific Model F1FR series sprinkler. Model F1 and F2 recessed escutcheons, shown in Fig. 1 and 3, are a friction fit assembly allowing for 3/4-inch (19mm) and 1/2-inch (12.7mm) of adjustment, respectively. Model FP recessed escutcheons, shown in Fig. 2, provide a 1/2-inch (12.7mm) threaded adjustment. Model F1FR56 Concealed Pendent and Model F1FR56LL Concealed Pendent sprinklers are required to be used with Model CCP cover plates. A standard profile Model CCP cov- er plate is available that provides up to 1/2-inch (12.7mm) of cover plate adjustment. In addition, a low profile Model CCP cover plate is also available that provides up to 5/16-inch (8.0mm) of cover plate adjustment. See the Design and In- stallation Information and Listed and Approved Temperature Ratings tables in this Bulletin for further information on ap- proved cover plate options. Application Model F1FR Series sprinklers are intended for use in accordance with NFPA 13, FM Property Loss Prevention Data Sheets, and the requirements of the Authority Hav- ing Jurisdiction. Care must be exercised that the k-factor, temperature rating, deflector style, and sprinkler type are in accordance with the requirements of the applicable design and installation standards. In addition, Model F1FR Series sprinklers must be used in accordance with their listings and approvals, as well as the information provided in this Bulletin. Installation Glass bulb sprinklers have orange bulb protectors or pro- tective caps to minimize bulb damage during shipping, han- dling and installation. Reliable sprinkler installation wrench- es are designed to install sprinklers with bulb protectors in place. Remove the bulb protector at the time when the sprin- kler system is placed in service for fire protection. Removal of the bulb protector before this time may leave the bulb vul- nerable to damage. Remove bulb protectors by undoing the clasp by hand. Do not use tools to remove bulb protectors. Model F1FR Series sprinklers must be installed with the Reliable sprinkler installation wrench identified in the Design and Installation Information table in this Bulletin. Any other wrench may damage the sprinkler. A leak tight sprinkler joint can be obtained with a torque of 8 to 18 lb-ft (11 to 24 N-m). Do not tighten sprinklers over the maximum recommended installation torque. Exceeding the maximum recommended installation torque may cause leakage or impairment of the sprinkler. Recessed Sprinklers Model F1FR Series Recessed sprinklers are to be installed as shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, or Fig. 3, as applicable to the spe- cific model being installed. The Recessed Escutcheon Data table in the Bulletin identifies the only recessed escutcheons that are permitted to be used with each Model F1FR Series Recessed sprinkler. The use of any other recessed escutch- eon will void all approvals and negate all warranties. Concealed Sprinklers Model F1FR Series Concealed Pendent sprinklers are to be installed as shown in Fig. 4 or Fig. 5, as applicable to the selected cover plate. Model F1FR56 Concealed Pendent and Model F1FR56LL Concealed Pendent sprinklers have a factory-installed Model CCP cup. A protective cap is in- stalled at the factory that should remain on the sprinkler until the sprinkler is installed and should then be reinstalled on the sprinkler until the cover plate is installed. The concealed sprinkler assemblies are completed by the installation of a Model CCP push-on/thread-off cover plate assembly. The cover plate and sprinkler cup assemblies are joined using a cover plate skirt with flexible tabs for threaded engage- ment. A choice of two Model CCP cover plate assemblies provides either 1/2-inch (13mm) or 5/8-inch (8mm) of cover adjustment. Do not install Model F1FR Series Concealed Pendent sprinklers in ceilings which have positive pressure in the space above. Model F1FR Series Concealed Pendent sprinklers require a 2-5/8-inch (67mm) diameter hole to be cut in the ceiling. The Model RC1 wrench is used to engage the sprinkler wrenching surfaces and to install the sprinkler in the fitting. Remove the protective cap to install the sprinkler, then reinstall the protective cap until the cover plate is installed. 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 any other part of the sprinkler/cup assembly. Installation is com- pleted by removing the protective cap from the sprinkler and pushing the cover plate onto the cup. Final adjustment is made by hand turning the cover plate until the skirt flange makes full contact with the ceiling. Cover plate removal requires turning the cover plate in the counter clockwise direction. After installation, inspect all sprinklers to ensure that there is a gap between the cover plate and ceiling and that the four cup slots are open and free from any air flow impediment to the space above. Concealed cover plate/cup assemblies are listed only for use with specific sprinklers. The use of any concealed cover plate/cup assembly other than the Reliable Model CCP with Model F1FR56 Concealed Pendent and Model F1FR56LL Concealed Pendent sprinklers or the use of the Model CCP Concealed cover plate assembly on any sprinkler with which it is not specifically listed my prevent good fire protection and will void all guarantees, warranties, listings and approvals.

FireLock products have been Listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and Approved by Factory Mutual Research for wet and dry (oil free air) sprinkler services up to the rated working pressure using the Grade “E” Type A Vic-Plus™ Gasket System, requiring no field lubrication for most installation conditions. Grade “L” silicone Recommended for dry heat, air without hydrocarbons to +350°F and certain chemical services. For dry services, Victaulic continues to recommend the use of Grade “E” Type A FlushSeal® Gasket. Contact Victaulic for details. Bolts/Nuts: Heat-treated plated carbon steel, trackhead meeting the physical and chemical requirements of ASTM A-449 and physical requirements of ASTM A-183. 1 Standard gasket and FlushSeal gasket approved for dry pipe systems to –40°F/–40°C. Based on “typical” pipe surface conditions, supplemental lubricant is recommended for services installed below 0°F/–18°C and for all dry pipe systems or systems to be subjected to air tests prior to being filled with water. Supplemental lubrication may also be required on pipe with raised or undercut weld seams or pipe that has voids and/or cracks at the weld seams. Victaulic continues to recommend the use of FlushSeal gaskets for dry services. Approvals/Listings: 104-1a/02 See Victaulic Publication 10.01 for more details. LPC and VdS Approved, see notes on page 3 Product Description: FireLock Style 005H rigid coupling has a unique, patented angle-pad design which allows the housings to offset while clamping the grooves. By permitting the housings to slide on the angled bolt pads, rigidity is obtained. Support and hanging requirements correspond to NFPA 13 Sprinkler Systems. Angle-pad design permits assembly by removing one nut/bolt and swinging the housing over the gasket. This reduces components to handle during assembly. Style 005H FireLock coupling are designed and recommended for use ONLY on fire protection systems. Vic-Plus™ Gasket System: Victaulic offers a gasket system which requires no field lubrication on wet pipe systems that are hydrostatically tested. The Vic-Plus System (patented) is dry, clean, and non-toxic. It reduces assembly time substantially and eliminates the mess and chance of over-lubrication. Please refer to the latest copy of the Victaulic Field Installation Handbook (I-100) for supplemental lubrication requirements and dry pipe fire protection system notes.

Vail Fire & Emergency Services 02/24/17 3. When a sprinkler operates, there will be a loss of air or nitrogen pressure in the sprinkler system’s piping which will cause the Model EX Low Pressure Dry Valve to open. The loss of air pressure allows a releasing discharge of water from the pushrod chamber. Since the pressure can- not be replenished through the inlet restriction as rapidly as it is vented, the push rod chamber pressure falls in- stantaneously. When the push rod chamber pressure ap- proaches approximately one-third of the supply pressure, the upward force of the supply pressure acting beneath the clapper overcomes the lever-applied force thereby opening the clapper. Once the clapper has opened, the lever acts as a latch, preventing the clapper from returning to the closed po- sition. Water from the supply flows through the Dry Pipe Valve into the system piping. Water also flows through the Dry Pipe Valve’s alarm outlet to the alarm devices. After system shutdown, resetting the Model EX Low Pressure Dry Pipe Valve is quite simple. Doing so only re- quires pushing in and turning the reset knob at the rear of the valve (see Fig. 1). The external reset feature of the Model EX Low Pressure Dry Pipe Valve provides a means for simple, economical system testing, which is one es- sential facet of a good maintenance program. The external reset feature does not, however, eliminate another impor- tant facet of good maintenance, namely, periodic cleaning and inspection of the internal valve parts. In the event that water builds up inside the valve due to condensate from the air supply system or water left inside from valve system testing, a drain is available for venting. After closing the main supply valve, a small valve over the drain cup can be opened slightly until the water inside the valve body and the main pipe column has drained. The Model B Manual Emergency Station is also included in the Model EX Low Pressure Dry Pipe Valve trim set. It consists of an aluminum nameplate mechanically at- tached to a ball valve. The valve handle in its OFF position is guarded against accidental turning to the ON position (and system discharge) by a nylon cable tie provided with each trim kit. The cable tie is inserted after the system has been restored for operation. The nylon cable tie is de- signed to allow, in case of an emergency, forceful turning of the valve handle to the ON position. As an alternative to the Model B Hydraulic Manual Emergency Station, the Model A Hydraulic Manual Emergency Pull Box (see Reli- able Bulletin 506) is also available and can be provided as an option. Whenever ambient temperature conditions are high, the water temperature in the Model EX Low Pressure Dry Pipe Valve’s pushrod chamber could possibly increase, thereby increasing the pressure in the chamber to values exceed- ing the rated pressure of the system. In an indoor installa- tion where standard room temperatures are exceeded, a pressure relief kit may be needed. Pressure relief kit, P/N 6503050001, can be installed into the pushrod chamber’s releasing line to limit the pressure to 250 psi (17.2 bar). General The Reliable Model EX Low Pressure Dry Pipe Valve is a hydraulically operated, differential latching clapper-type valve (see Fig 1.) designed for use as a primary control valve in a dry pipe valve system. The trim set used with the Model EX Low Pressure Dry Pipe Valve allows the sys- tem’s air or nitrogen pressure requirement to be consider- ably less than the available water supply pressure (See Table A, page 7). The following benefits are a direct result of the ability to use lower air pressure: 1. In refrigerated area systems, lower air pressure de- creases the possibility of ice plugs, which could im- pede or prevent the flow of water to sprinkler heads in the event of fire. 2. Lower air pressure (volume) will enable smaller ca- pacity, lower cost dehydration equipment when it is required. 3. Lower air or nitrogen pressure can reduce water de- livery time when the system actuates, and in some cases, may eliminate the need for an accelerator. 4. Low pressure requirements make the use of dry ni- trogen gas, instead of air, practical even on larger systems. Resulting benefits include a lower-than-air dew point, which minimizes ice plugging of system lines, and enhances “user friendliness” during in- stallation and operation. 5. System maintenance is simplified since priming water is not required and the Dry Pipe Valve can be reset externally without cover removal. This is ac- complished by pushing in and turning the external reset knob at the rear of the Dry Pipe Valve (see Fig.1). This feature provides a significant system- restoration time advantage. The Model EX Low Pressure Dry Pipe Valve’s trim set (see Fig.2) provides all of the necessary equipment for connec- tions to the pushrod chamber’s inlet and outlet ports, the 1¼” (30mm) or 2” (50mm) main drain, alarm devices, air supply, water supply and required pressure gauges. This trim set is available in individual parts, in time-saving, seg- mentally assembled kit forms, or fully assembled to the Model EX Low Pressure Dry Pipe Valve (with or without a control valve). All the sizes of the Model EX Low Pressure Dry Pipe Valve trim sets may be equipped with the optional Reliable Model B1 Accelerator, trim kit P/N 6516000003, (see Figs. 2 & 3). This device acts as an exhauster which will hasten the operation of the Model EX Low Pressure Dry Valve and minimize the water delivery time for the entire system. System Operation The Reliable Model EX Low Pressure Dry Pipe Valve is shown in both closed and open positions in Fig. 1. In the closed position, the supply pressure acts on the underside of the clapper and also on the push rod through the push rod chamber’s inlet restriction. The resultant force due to the supply pressure acting on the push rod is multiplied by the mechanical advantage of the lever and is more than sufficient to hold the clapper closed against normal sup- ply pressure surges. Vail Fire & Emergency Services 02/24/17 4. Fig. 2 Vail Fire & Emergency Services 02/24/17 Hydrostatic Testing of EX Valves and EX 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 systems require an ad- ditional low pressure air test. In some cases, hydrostatic testing (in accordance with the NFPA 13 requirements noted above) will result in pres- sures that exceed the working Pressure of the valve and trim kit for the two-hour test period. The valve and appli- cable trim kit have been tested, approved and listed under these conditions and as such, hydrostatic testing in accor- dance with NFPA 13 is acceptable. In addition, the clap- per 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 pres- sures higher than their rating is limited to the hydrostatic test as referenced by NFPA13. 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 excess of the rated pressure and should be avoided by all neces- sary 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. Technical Data Reliable Model EX Low Pressure Dry Pipe Valves, with associated trim, sizes 2” (50mm), 2½” (65mm), 3” (80mm), 76mm & 8” (200mm) are rated for use at a minimum water supply pressure of 20 psi (1.4 bar) and a maximum water supply pressure of 250 psi (17.2 bar), sizes 4” (100mm), 6” (150mm) & 165mm are rated for use at a minimum wa- ter supply pressure of 20 psi (1.4 bar) and a maximum wa- ter supply pressure of 300 psi (20.7 bar). Water supplied to the inlet of the valve and to the pushrod chamber must be maintained between 40°F (4°C) and 140°F (60°C).

Installation position: Vertical System Air or Nitrogen Pressure Requirements The system trim includes gauges to read the pneumat- ic and water pressures of Model EX Dry Valve. Table A specifies the air or nitrogen pressure level to be applied to the Model EX Dry Pipe Valve. Optional Reliable Model A-2 Pressure Maintenance Device (see Reliable Bulletins 254) automatically provides a safeguard against pressure leaks in the sprinkler piping, and properly restricts the flow of makeup air. When the optional Model B1 Accelerator is used, a Model A-2 Pressure Maintenance Device and a tank-mounted air compressor are required. Also, when a Model B1 Accelerator is used, to expedite water-delivery time, the pneumatic pressure must not be less than 15 psi (1.0 bar). Whenever multiple dry systems are installed at the same location, each dry system is to have its own Model A-2 Pressure Maintenance Device installed for individual maintenance of air pressure (Refer to the 2007 Edition of NFPA 13, section 7.2.6.5.3).

T Bulletin 251 Rev. T Instructions for Installation, Operation, Care and Maintenance Models A-2 & B-1 Automatic Pressure Maintenance Devices Vail Fire & Emergency Services 02/24/17 2. Operation • Model A-2 Pressure Maintenance Device (Refer to Figure 1) The Model A-2 Pressure Maintenance Device (PMD) is de- signed for use where a source of compressed air (plant air system, tank-mounted compressor with a pressure control, etc.) or nitrogen cylinder (equipped with a regulating de- vice) is available (refer to the section in this technical bulle- tin titled “Installation”). The regulator in the Model A-2 PMD reduces higher pressure air or nitrogen to a level required by a dry pipe valve, dry pilot line, or a deluge valve based preaction system. The Model A-2 PMD will maintain a con- stant pressure in the system regardless of any pressure fluctuations from the compressed air or nitrogen source. Basic functionality of components (refer to Figure 1): The strainer’s (Item 2) function is to prevent any foreign matter that may be present in the air supply, from traveling to the regulator (Item 1) and the check valve (Item 3), thereby en- suring their normal operation. The check valve’s function is to prevent the reverse flow of water resulting from a dry pipe or deluge valve’s operation, from reaching the regulator. The globe valves (Item 4) allow for the servicing (if needed) of the strainer (Item 2) and regulator (Item 1) without having to shut down the sprinkler system. The ball valve (Item 5) permits the rapid restoration (quick-fill) of the required sys- tem air pressure after service or operation. The ball valve (Item 5) must be closed and the globe valves (Item 4) must be open for proper automatic operation. • Models B-1 Pressure Maintenance Device (Refer to Figure 2) The Model B-1 Pressure Maintenance Device (PMD) is designed for use in conjunction with the Reliable Model A Tankless Air Compressor in order to maintain the correct air pressure in a dry pipe valve or dry pilot line (refer to the section in this technical bulletin titled “Installation”). The Re- liable Model A Tankless Air Compressor is controlled on or off by the air pressure level present in the dry pipe valve or dry pilot line via wiring between the compressor’s motor and the contacts of the Model B-1 PMD’s pressure switch. Basic functionality of components (refer to Figure 2): A drop in the sprinkler system’s air pressure causes the contacts of the pressure switch (Item 1) to close, thereby activating the air compressor . When the pre-adjusted level of air pressure is restored, the pressure switch’s contacts re-open, thereby deactivating the air compressor. The pressure switch (Item 1) is also equipped with an unloader valve that automati- cally bleeds off the air compressor’s outlet pressure each time the contacts of the pressure switch open. This protects the air compressor’s motor from overloading during start- up. Like the Model A-2 PMD, the Model B-1 has a strainer (Item 2) for contamination control and a check valve (Item 3) to prevent reverse water flow. The ball valve (Item 5) and globe valves (Item 4) are also identical in configuration and function as with the Model A-2 PMD. Likewise, the ball valve (Item 5) must be closed and the globe valves (Item 4) must be open for proper automatic operation Adjustment • Model A-2 Pressure Maintenance Device (Refer to Figure 1) The pressure regulator (Item 1) is factory set to maintain a nominal system air or nitrogen pressure of 30 psi (2,1 bar). In order to change the outlet pressure, loosen the locknut at the top of regulator and turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase pressure. To decrease the pressure, turn the adjusting screw counter clockwise. The resulting pressure can be determined at the sprinkler system air gauge once the air flow through the device has ceased, or at the optional gauge location. Shown on Figure 1. Note: The locknut of the regulator (Item 1) must be tight- ened after adjusting in order to prevent an accidental change in the pressure setting. Adjustable Outlet Pressure Range: 5 psi to 100 psi (0.34 bar to 6.9 bar) Maximum Inlet Pressure: 175 psi (12 bar) • Model B-1 Pressure Maintenance Device The pressure switch (Item 1) is factory set to maintain a nominal system air pressure of 35 psi (2,4 bar). In order to change the setting, remove the pressure switch’s cov- er and follow the directions contained within the switch.

Inspection and Maintenance Refer to Figures 1 & 2. 1. Review the latest NFPA 13 and NFPA 25 Standards, any appropriate dry pipe or deluge valve installation bulletins, and the section in this bulletin titled “Instal- lation” to ensure that the pressure maintenance de- vice is installed properly. 2. Make sure that both ¼” globe valves (Item 4) are open and that the ¾” ball valve (Item 5) is closed. 3. Check the gas pressure in the dry pipe, deluge or preaction system at the pressure gauge located on those devices. See the section titled “Adjustment” if any are required. 4. If maintenance is to be performed on Items 1, 2 or 3 of the pressure maintenance device, make sure that both globe valves (Item 4) are closed and that pressure has been relieved from the section through the ¼” union (Item 6). These valves must be opened again in order to restore proper automatic operation. 5. The strainer (Item 2) should be cleaned periodically to prevent contamination from blocking air flow. This can be done by removing the strainer’s cap and wip- ing or blowing off any collected debris. 6. Make sure the check valve (Item 3) is installed ac- cording to the schematic with the arrow on its hex- agonal side pointing in the required direction of air flow. 7. If the regulator (Item 1) in the Model A-2 Pressure Maintenance Device is constantly leaking at the ad- justing screw, the regulator may contain dirt keep- ing the poppet open and should be cleaned or re- placed. 8. Check the inside housing of pressure switch (Item 1) of the Model B-1 Pressure Maintenance Device for dirt or foreign matter and verify that the wiring is fastened securely and is wiring insulation is in good condition. WARNING: Do not contact the electrical wiring when the power is on Installation As shown in Figures 4 through 13, Pressure Maintenance Devices are installed in the air supply line leading to the dry pipe valve, deluge or preaction systems. With the Model A-2 PMD the air supply is a tank mounted compressor with a pressure control switch, or a Nitrogen supply equipped with a regulating device. With the Model B-1 PMD, the air supply is an air compressor without a pressure control switch. An extra outlet connection is provided on all of the models for mounting an optional pressure gauge to moni- tor the outlet pressure. • Model A-2 Pressure Maintenance Device a.

UL Listed, FM Approved General The Reliable Model B1 Accelerator with its integral Ac- celo-Check (anti-flooding device) is used to speed up the operation of both dry pipe valves (in dry-type automatic sprinkler systems) and deluge valves (in pre-action sprin- kler systems). Both of these system types utilize pressur- ized air, instead of water, in their piping as to avoid expo- sure to water sensitive areas and/or freezing conditions. The accelerated operation of the dry pipe valve floods the sprinkler system with water permitting a substantial in- crease in both the number of sprinklers that can be con- trolled by one dry pipe valve and the volume of the dry system that can be installed.

Accelerator Operation The Model B1 Accelerator is basically a normally-closed valve with ½” NPT ports, that is highly sensitive to the rate of air pressure change in a dry pipe sprinkler system. This de- vice retains normal dry system air pressure in its top cham- ber even though pressure in that system may be dropping as a direct result from one or more sprinklers opening. Fig. 1 illustrates a cross-section of the Model B1 Acceler- ator in the “closed” position while being pressurized. Upon initial setup, the Accelerator is filled by air from the dry pipe system via a ½” NPT connection. Air passes through its filter assembly (item #18) and passageway E to the de- vice’s middle chamber. This air pressure also lifts the dia- phragm assembly (Items #5 through #8) off of the push rod (item #10) thereby opening up passageway G. The air then completely fills the top chamber to the desired system pressure level. When filled, the diaphragm assembly rests on the push rod’s end and closes passageway G, except for minor leakage which is designed to compensate for air pressure fluctuations in the system. Upon a significant air-pressure decay of the sprinkler system piping (such as sprinkler activation), the retained air pressure in the Accelerator’s top chamber exerts a net- downward force across the diaphragm assembly (Items #5 through #8). This forces the poppet (item #15) to open thereby allowing system air pressure to pass out of the Ac- celerator’s ½” outlet port and into the intermediate cham- ber of the dry pipe valve (or to atmosphere depending on the type of system to which it is installed). This in turn will activate the dry pipe valve. Simultaneously, pressurized air also passes through the Accelerator and closes the integral Accelo-Check (items #11, #19 through #25) by pressuriz- ing cavity H and preventing water and waterborne debris from entering the internal restriction area in passageway G. This increases the reliability of the Accelerator and re- duces the maintenance which would otherwise be required to clean it after each operation. Installation The Reliable Model B1 Accelerator is quickly attached to the various Reliable-manufactured dry pipe valves/sys- tems. The following table lists the figures in this technical bulletin that illustrate the specific trim attachment locations along with the complete component listing of their contents. When installed into the basic trim of a Reliable Model D Dry Pipe Valve (refer to Fig 2), the Accelerator’s ½” out- let port should be directly connected to the intermediate chamber of the dry pipe valve. In this specific application, the Model B1 Accelerator is used like an exhauster that directly assists the clapper of the dry pipe valve to open. For installations into all other Reliable-manufactured dry systems such as Models LDX, DDX-LP & EX (refer to Figs 3, 4 & 5), the Accelerator’s ½”outlet port should be vented to the atmosphere. These other types of systems do not utilize differential-type clappers that require additional air pressure to operate. Instead, these systems all utilize a Model LP Actuator to keep a push-rod chamber pressur- ized to a certain level of air pressure. In these instances, Dry Pipe System Type Refer to Figure # Model B1 Accelerator Part # Accelerator Trim Kit Part # Model D (4” & 6”) 2 6301000300 6516000002 (Does not include Accelerator) Model LDX (4” & 6”) 3 6516000003 (Includes Accelerator) Model DDX-LP (All Sizes) 4 Model EX (All Sizes) 5 Model DDX Type F Preaction System (All Sizes) 6 In addition and for more detailed instructions in connect- ing the Model B1 Accelerator a specific type of system, please go to www.reliablesprinkler.com and refer to the pertinent technical bulletins describing those systems. the Model B1 Accelerator speeds up the purging of the air side of the Model LP Actuator, which in turn, vents the push-rod chamber pressure of the main fire control valve thereby causing its clapper to open and fill the system pip- ing with water. The ½” outlet port of the Accelerator should also be vent- ed to atmosphere when installed into Reliable’s Model DDX Type F Double Interlock Preaction systems (refer to Fig. 6). As in the previously mentioned systems, the Accelerator also helps to speed up the purging of air pressure in a Model LP Actuator and the opening of the main fire con- trol valve, however, no water will enter the sprinkler piping until the normally-closed solenoid valve (installed in series with the Model LP Actuator) of the trim becomes energized open via some type of incoming detection signal(s). Note: The Model B1 Accelerator may be capable of has- tening the operation of non-Reliable-manufactured dry pipe valves having intermediate chamber de- signs. However, it has been tested and approved only with Reliable Dry Pipe Valves. Vail Fire & Emergency Services 02/24/17 3. Fig. 1 Vail Fire & Emergency Services 02/24/17 4.

System Requirements NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 13 titled “In- stallation of Sprinkler Systems”, specifies that Accelera- tors (quick-opening devices) are required in dry systems having capacities of more than 500 gallons. However, ex- ceptions permit the omission of quick-opening devices for larger systems when water can be delivered to the inspec- tor’s test connection in less than 60 seconds. • Reliable’s Accelerator is UL Listed for system volumes to 1500 gallons. This capability is also approved by FM. • System pneumatic pressure must be maintained at a minimum of 15 psi in order for the Accelerator to be effective. It must be cautioned that accelerator operation and water delivery at the inspectors test connection does not occur at the same time. There is a delay while the air is being expelled through the inspectors test connection ahead of the water. This time delay depends on the piping configu- ration system size, available water supply and other factors which are beyond the control of the accelerator and restrict the system’s capability to deliver water in the 60 second time requirement. While field installation experience will aid in the determination of system size limitations, it is rec- ommended that the Reliable Technical Service Department be consulted when large volume systems are encountered. Figure 7 provides an approximate graph of actual Accel- erator operating time versus system size when one sprin- kler head opens. The time of operation of the Accelera- tor is relatively unaffected by inlet pressures so the graph applies for all normal dry system pressures from 25 psi to 50 psi (1.7 bar to 3.4 bar). As described in the following section, water delivery time will significantly exceed the ac- celerator operating times shown is Figure 7.

Partially open valve B, Figs. 3, 4, 5 or 6, gently purg- ing any water which may be in the trim lines. Close this valve and replace the. body drain plug from the lower section of the Accelerator, Item #3, Fig 1. 8. Pressurize the Accelerator by opening valve B, Figs. 3, 4, 5 or 6. The top chamber pressure of the Accel- erator should equal the system pressure. 9. Slightly open the main water supply control valve. Close the main drain valve when water flows, then- fully open the main supply valve. The system is now ready for service. Caution The presence of water in the Accelerator may cause pre- mature operation. Therefore, it is imperative that after sys- tem operation, the Accelerator be inspected for any signs of water in the top chamber and that the Accelerator trim lines are purged prior to completing the Accelerator reset procedure. In addition, after system set–up, the prime wa- ter level must not exceed the dry pipe valve’s prime level (if applicable). If water is found in the Accelerator, due to excessive prime level or back drainage, the Accelerator’s inlet system connection must be relocated to the riser at least 2 ft. above the dry pipe valve. 10. Recommended Periodic Inspections The following inspections should be performed on the Model B1 Accelerator on a weekly basis. 1. Check that the correct system air pressure has been set. 2. Verify that Accelerator’s top chamber pressure and system air pressure are equal. 3. Verify that the valves located on both the Accelera- tor’s inlet and outlet lines are in the open position. A valve located on the Accelerator’s outlet port should only be present if the Accelerator is connected to vent into a dry pipe valve’s intermediate chamber. Otherwise, the Accelerator’s outlet port should vent to the atmosphere. 4. Check that the prime water level is correct (if appli- cable). 5. Check for leakage at the ball drip valve, located above the drain cup. Leakage may indicate the sealing surfaces in the dry pipe valve require main- tenance. Test The following Accelerator tests should be performed semi–annually or whenever the Accelerator has been dis- assembled. A. Accelerator test without operating the dry pipe valve. 1. Isolate the Accelerator by closing the valves lo- cated on its inlet and outlet ports. Model D Dry Pipe Valve, Fig. 2 - Valves A and C. Model LDX, DDX-LP, EX, DDX Valves, Figs. 3, 4, 5 or 6 – Valve B 2. Loosen the body drain plug, Item #3, Fig. 1 in or- der to decay the pressure at the inlet of the Accel- erator. This will simulate a system decay as when one or more sprinklers open. The Accelerator should operate. 3. Reset the Accelerator following the instructions de- scribed in the “Resetting Procedure” sections of this bulletin. B. Sensitivity Test (Model D Dry Pipe Valves only) 1. Close the main water supply control valve. 2. Bleed the system air pressure at a rate of 1 psi per minute by opening the prime level valve lo- cated on the dry pipe valve. 3. After ten minutes (the air pressure should have decayed 10 psi) the Accelerator should not have tripped. 4. Restore the system air pressure and reopen the main water supply control valve.

Pre-Installation COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS Part Description A Pressure Switch (AUTO/OFF Switch) - In the AUTO position, the compressor shuts off automatically when the tank pressure reaches the maximum preset pressure. After air is used from the tank and drops to a preset low level, the pressure switch automatically turns the motor back on. In the OFF position, the compressor will not operate. This switch should be in the OFF position when connecting or disconnecting the power from the unit. When the pressure switch turns the motor off you will hear air leaking out of the pressure switch unloader valve for a short time. This releases the air pressure from the discharge tube and allows the compressor to restart easier. B ASME Safety Valve - This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum. C Discharge Tube - This tube carries compressed air from the pump to the check valve. This tube becomes very hot during use. To avoid the risk of severe burns, never touch the discharge tube. D Check Valve - One-way valve that allows air to enter the tank, but prevents air in the tank from flowing back into the compressor pump. E Belt Guard - Covers the belt, motor pulley, and flywheel. F Drain Valve - Use this valve to drain moisture from the tank daily to reduce the risk of corrosion. G Tank Pressure Gauge - Indicates the amount of air pressure stored in the tank. H Air Filter - Keeps large particulates out of the air flowing into the compressor. I Tank Outlet/Discharge Port - Air delivery port for transfer of compressed air.

Serious injury or death could result. WARNING: Never install a shut-off valve between the compressor pump and the tank. Personal injury and / or equipment damage may occur. Never use reducers in discharge piping. NOTE: Do not overtighten. Over the life of the unit, you will clean or replace the Þ lter as needed. This air compressor unit can be installed as part of an air distribution system. Any tube, pipe, or hose used in an air distribution system must have a pressure rating higher than 150 psi. The minimum recommended pipe size is 3/8 in. Using a larger diameter pipe is always better. Install a shut-off valve on the discharge port of the tank to control the air ß ow out of the tank. Locate the valve between the tank and any piping system. □Screw the air Þ lter (B) onto the pump air intake. B Vail Fire & Emergency Services 02/24/17 17 HUSKYTOOLS.COM Please contact 1-888-43-HUSKY for further assistance. Operation 1 Preparing for use CAUTION: Check for proper oil level before operating! NOTE: The pump oil level is full (1) as shown. NOTE: Use SAE 30 industrial grade air compressor oil or full synthetic motor oil like Mobil 1¨ 10W30. NOTE: Do not exceed the maximum oil capacity of approximately 8.5 ounces. NOTE: Do not use regular automotive oil. Additives in regular motor oil can cause valve deposits and reduce pump life. NOTE: For maximum pump life, drain and replace oil after the Þ rst hour of run time. □Use the sight glass on the pump to determine the oil level. □Add oil to the pump if the oil level is low (2). 2 Starting-up and breaking-in the compressor WARNING: Do not attach air tools to the open end of the hose until start-up is completed and the unit checks okay. WARNING: Never disconnect threaded joints with pressure in the tank! □Return power to the air compressor unit (A) from the main. □Open the tank drain valve. The tank will not readily buildup any pressure. □Move the pressure switch to the AUTO position to run the air compressor unit (A). □Run the air compressor unit (A) for thirty (30) minutes at zero (0) psi (under no load) to break-in the pump parts. □Move the pressure switch lever or knob to the OFF position, and turn the tank drain valve to shut off air flow. The air compressor unit (A) is now ready for use. 1 2 A Vail Fire & Emergency Services 02/24/17 18 Operation (continued) ON/OFF CYCLING OF THE COMPRESSOR The air compressor unit (A) is designed to cycle on and off. With the pressure switch knob in the AUTO position, the compressor pumps air into the tank. When the shut-off (preset Òcut-outÓ) pressure is reached, the compressor automatically shuts off. If the compressor is left in the AUTO position and air is depleted from the tank by use of a tire chuck, tool, etc., the compressor will restart automatically at its preset Òcut-inÓ pressure. When a tool is in use, the compressor will cycle on and off automatically as needed to maintain air pressure in the tank. MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR WARNING: Drain the tank every day to prevent corrosion and possible injury due to tank damage. For optimal performance of the tank drain, the tank pressure should be between 40 - 50 psi. Do not operate the drain with more than 40 psi in the tank or the drain valve may be damaged. Drain the tank of moisture daily using the drain valve at the bottom of the tank. IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water spots in a paint job, especially when spraying other than water based paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the sand to cake and clog the gun, rendering it ineffective. A Þ lter in the air line, located as near to the gun as possible, will help eliminate this moisture. IMPORTANT: Drain liquid from the tank daily. Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air compressor pump. When humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous use for an extended period of time, this moisture will collect in the tank. When using a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried from the tank through the hose, and out of the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material. Follow the tank draining instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Vail Fire & Emergency Services 02/24/17 19 HUSKYTOOLS.COM Please contact 1-888-43-HUSKY for further assistance.

Tamper: Adjustment And Testing The operation of the supervisory pressure switch should be tested upon completion of installation and periodically thereafter in accordance with the applicable NFPA codes and standards and/or the authority having jurisdiction (manufacturer recommends quarterly or more frequently). Note: Testing the PS40 may activate other system connected devices. The use of a Potter BVL (see product bulletin 8900067 for details) is recommended to facilitate setting and testing of the PS40 pressure switch. When a BVL (bleeder valve) is used, the pressure to the switch can be isolated and bled from the exhaust port on the BVL without effecting the supervisory pressure of the entire system. See Fig. 3 The operation point of the PS40 Pressure Switch can be adjusted to any point between 0,7 - 4,11 BAR (10 and 60 PSI) by turning the adjustment knob(s) clockwise to raise the actuation point and counter clockwise to lower the actuation point. In the case of the PS40-2, both switches operate independent of each other. Each switch may be independently adjusted to actuate at any point acrosss the switch adjustment range. Initial adjustment can be made with a visual reference from the top of the adjustment knob across to the printed scale on the switch bracket. Final adjustments should be verified with a pressure gauge.

The supervisory switch contains two single pole, double throw, pre-wired switches. 2. Switches are rated: 10 amps @ 125 or 250 VAC/60 Hz 0.50 amps @ 125 VDC 0.25 amps @ 250 VDC 3. Switches supervise the valve in the “OPEN” position. 5. One switch has two #18 insulated wires per terminal, which permit complete supervision of leads (refer to diagrams and notes below). The second switch has one #18 insulated wire per terminal. This double circuit provides flexibility to operate two electrical devices at separate locations, such as an indicating light and an audible alarm, in the area that the valve is installed. 6. A #14 insulated ground lead (green) is provided. Switch #1 = S1 For connection to the supervisory circuit of a UL Listed alarm control panel Switch #2 = S2 Auxiliary switch that may be connected to auxiliary devices, per the authority having jurisdiction S1 {Normally Closed: (2) Blue Common: (2) Yellow S2 {Normally Closed: Blue with Orange Stripe Normally Open: Brown with Orange Stripe Common: Yellow with Orange Stripe NOTES • The above diagram shows a connection between the common terminal (yellow – S1 and yellow-with-orange stripe – S2) and the normally closed terminal (blue – S1 and blue-with-orange stripe – S2). In this example, the indicator light and alarm will stay on until the valve is fully open. When the valve is fully open, the indicator light and alarm will go out. Cap off any unused wires (e.g. brown with orange stripe). • Only S1 (two leads per terminal) may be connected to the fire alarm control panel. • The connection of the alarm switch wiring shall be in accordance with NFPA 72 and the auxiliary switch per NFPA 70 (NEC).
