Tyco Alarm Check Valves and Wet System Components in Bhopal

Fire Protection System (FPS) supplies Tyco valves and trim for wet pipe sprinkler systems in Bhopal: the AV-1-300 alarm check valve, RC-1 retard chamber, WMA-1 water motor alarm, CV-1FR riser check valve, riser manifolds, test and drain valves and the RSV-1 residential shut-off valve.

Where to use Alarm Check Valves and Wet System Components

  • Main control risers of wet pipe sprinkler systems
  • Systems fed from public water supplies whose pressure varies (with the RC-1 retard chamber)
  • Outside walls where a local alarm gong is wanted without electric power (WMA-1)
  • Floor and zone control points in high-rise buildings (RM-2 riser manifolds)
  • Risers where a flow switch is used instead of a water motor alarm (CV-1FR riser check valve)
  • Inspector's test and drain points where an outside drain is not practical (TD-2)
  • Gridded wet pipe systems exposed to rising ambient temperatures (pressure relief trim)
  • Homes with one water supply serving both domestic use and sprinklers (RSV-1)
  • Projects designed to Australian Standard AS 2118 that need floor by floor identification (FSA(C))

Tyco Alarm Check Valves and Wet System Components models

Tyco

Tyco Pressure Relief Trim for Alarm Check Valves, 175 and 185 psi (TFP930)

Pressure relief trimWet pipe systems175 or 185 psi

Relief trim fitted in the system pressure gauge connection of an alarm valve, which lets off the excess pressure that builds up in a wet pipe system when the ambient temperature rises.

  • Construction: The body of the relief valve is Brass, and it utilizes a Stainless Steel spring and ball. The ball and body create a metal to metal seat. The relief valve adjusting screw is bonded into position in order to reduce the possibility of tampering.
Tyco

Tyco Model FSA(C) Compact Flow Switch Assembly, Riser Manifold with Test and Drain, AS 2118 (TFP967)

Flow switch assemblyFloor identificationAS 2118 Parts 1 and 6

A compact riser assembly with butterfly shut-off valve, check valve, flow switch, test assembly and drain, used to identify individual floors or areas of a sprinkler system under Australian Standards AS 2118 Parts 1 and 6.

  • Approvals: See Table 1

How to choose

An alarm check valve sits at the base of a wet pipe sprinkler system, where the pipes are always full of water. It lets water pass into the system in one direction only and, when a sprinkler opens and water keeps flowing, it feeds the alarm line to sound an electric and/or hydraulic alarm. The Tyco AV-1-300 is a divided seat ring, rubber faced clapper valve rated 300 psi, in 2-1/2, 4, 6 and 8 inch (DN65, DN100, DN150 and DN200) sizes. Its trim includes pressure gauges, a bypass check valve that passes small, slow supply pressure rises without opening the clapper, a main drain valve and an alarm test valve. TFP910 is the edition Tyco lists as UL and C-UL Listed and FM Approved; TFP990 is the European Conformity trim edition, which Tyco lists as FM, VdS and LPCB Approved.

Where the supply pressure varies, as it often does on public mains, add the RC-1 retard chamber. A retard chamber is fitted in the alarm line and holds back brief surges so that short pressure rises do not sound the alarm; Tyco says the RC-1 is required for such installations and it is ordered separately. For a local alarm that needs no electricity, the WMA-1 water motor alarm is a water driven gong for an outside wall up to 450 mm thick; TFP922 is its European Conformity edition, rated 16 bar.

If a water motor alarm is not needed, the CV-1FR grooved end riser check valve, DN50 to DN300, can be used with a separately supplied flow switch instead of an alarm check valve. For floor or zone control, RM-2 riser manifolds put the flow switch, gauge, drain and test arrangement in one assembly, and the TD-2 test and drain valve adds a sight glass, test orifice and pressure relief. The pressure relief trim protects gridded wet systems from pressure build-up as the surroundings warm.

Sizes, pressure ratings and approvals differ from one data sheet to the next, so FPS checks the TFP number of each item against your system design before supply and installation in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh.

Frequently asked questions

What does an alarm check valve do?
It lets water into a wet pipe sprinkler system in one direction only and raises an electric and/or hydraulic alarm when water keeps flowing, as it does when one or more sprinklers open. The Tyco AV-1-300 comes with trim for pressure gauges, draining and alarm testing.
What is a retard chamber and do I need one?
A retard chamber sits in the alarm line and stops brief pressure surges from sounding the alarm. Tyco says the RC-1 is required where the supply pressure varies, as is common with public water supplies, and it is ordered separately for the AV-1-300.
What is a water motor alarm?
It is a gong on the outside wall driven by water from the alarm line, so it sounds without electric power. The Tyco WMA-1 fits walls 50 mm to 450 mm thick, comes with a Y-strainer for the alarm line, and works with alarm check, dry pipe, deluge and preaction valves.
Can a riser check valve be used instead of an alarm check valve?
Tyco offers the CV-1FR riser check valve as a compact option for wet system risers where a water motor alarm is not required. A separately supplied approved flow switch must then provide the local alarm.
What approvals do Tyco alarm valves carry?
Tyco lists the AV-1-300 in TFP910 as UL and C-UL Listed and FM Approved, and the European Conformity trim edition in TFP990 as FM, VdS and LPCB Approved. Approvals vary by data sheet, so check the TFP number of each item.
Does FPS supply and install Tyco alarm valve sets?
Yes. FPS supplies, installs and maintains Tyco sprinkler system valves in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh. Prices are on request: call or WhatsApp +91 92440 89060.
