Fire Protection System (FPS), an HD Fire dealer in Bhopal, supplies the HD Model H alarm valve for wet sprinkler systems, with its retard chamber and water motor gong, and UL Listed HD pre-action systems in single and double interlock versions, including the cabinet mounted Pre-Pack.

Where to use Alarm Valves and Pre-Action Systems

  • Wet pipe sprinkler systems in buildings (alarm valve Model H)
  • Sprinkler systems where supply pressure varies (variable pressure trim with retard chamber)
  • Water sensitive areas that must be protected from accidental water flow into sprinkler piping (pre-action)
  • Sites that want a compact, factory tested pre-action set in one cabinet (Pre-Pack)
  • Grooved or flanged sprinkler riser pipework
  • Outdoor audible alarm for sprinkler systems (water motor gong)

How to choose

For a wet sprinkler system, the Model H alarm valve sits on the riser and works as a check valve, holding pressurised water above its clapper and stopping back flow from the sprinkler piping. When a sprinkler opens and water flows, the valve operates the alarm through the water motor gong and pressure switch. It comes in 80, 100, 150 and 200 NB, in ductile iron to ASTM A536 with fusion bonded epoxy coating inside and out, with flanged, grooved or mixed ends. Choose the variable pressure trim, which adds a retard chamber and gong, where supply pressure surges; a constant pressure trim is optional.

A pre-action system keeps the sprinkler pipes dry until a release condition is met, so water does not enter the piping by accident. HD builds its pre-action systems around the UL Listed deluge valve Model H3 and check valve Model CH, in 50 to 200 NB. In a single interlock system one event lets water in: a wet pilot line, a dry pilot line or an electric detection signal. In a double interlock system two events are needed, a detection signal plus a second electric or pneumatic signal, which HD offers as electric/electric or electric/pneumatic release.

Decide the scope of supply. HD pre-action sets can come with or without the release panel, compressor, butterfly valve and air maintenance device, the water motor gong is optional, ends can be grooved or flanged, and the set can be pre-assembled or loose. The Pre-Pack puts everything, including a built-in air compressor and a control panel with battery backup, in one free standing cabinet. Prices on request: call or WhatsApp +91 92440 89060.

Frequently asked questions

What does an alarm valve do in a sprinkler system?
It acts as a check valve on the sprinkler riser and raises the alarm when water starts flowing to open sprinklers, through a water motor gong and a pressure switch. The HD Model H alarm valve is UL Listed, FM Approved and CE marked.
What is a retard chamber?
It is a small holding tank in the alarm valve trim that stops the sprinkler alarm from sounding during a water pressure surge. HD's stainless steel retard chamber holds 1 gallon (3.8 litre) and is approved for use with the Model H alarm valve.
What is the difference between single and double interlock pre-action?
Single interlock admits water into the sprinkler piping on one release event, such as a detection signal. Double interlock waits for two separate signals before admitting water, which gives extra protection against accidental flow in water sensitive areas.
What is the HD Pre-Pack?
It is a pre-assembled, factory tested pre-action system in a free standing cabinet, with deluge valve H3, riser check valve RH, fail safe valve, water flow supervisory switch, gauges, air compressor and a control panel with battery backup. It is UL Listed and available in single and double interlock types.
Does FPS install alarm valves and pre-action systems?
Yes. FPS supplies, installs and maintains HD alarm valves and pre-action systems in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh. Prices are on request: call or WhatsApp +91 92440 89060.
