• The AGF Manufacturing Inc. Model 3011 In s p e c t o r ’stest® family of valves are designed to perform
the remote inspector’s test function on single story and other applications with the benet of locating
the orice indoors.

- Model 3011BV ball valve only
- Model 3011SG ball valve with sight glass
- Model 3011A ball valve with Model 7000 Pressure Relief Valve and drainage piping
- Model 3011ASG ball valve with sight glass, Model 7000 Pressure Relief Valve, and drainage piping
• Available with test orice sizes of ³⁄
• The Models 3011A and 3011ASG have the added feature of a Model 7000 Pressure Relief Valve
with drainage piping designed to relieve excess system pressure caused by surges or temperature
changes as well as solve the difcult problem of providing the relief valve with a drainage piping outlet.
• The Models 3011A and 3011ASG comply with the requirements of NFPA-13 for the installation of a
pressure relief valve on all gridded systems and downstream of all pressure reducing valves.
• The included UL/FM Model 7000 Pressure Relief Valve features a ushing handle and is rated at 175
PSI. Other pressure settings are also available. (see note below)
• To expedite system testing, the unit is shipped semi-assembled with relief valve and bypass drain
ports plugged.
NOTE: It is important to note that the pressure rating of the relief valve indicates an operating range of pressure for both opening and
closing of the valve. Standard relief valves are required to OPEN in a range of pressure between 90% and 105% of their rating. The valves
are required to CLOSE at a pressure above 80% of that rating. The relief valve should be installed where it is easily accessible for maintenance. Care should be taken that the relief valve CANNOT be isolated from the system when the system is operational. A relief valve
should NEVER have a shutoff valve or a plug downstream of its outlet.
