General
Description
DRY PIPE VALVE
The DN100and DN150, Model DPV-1
Dry Pipe Valves are differential valves
used to automatically control the flow
of water into a dry pipe fire protection
sprinkler systems upon operation of
one or more automatic sprinklers. The
DPV-1 also provides for actuation of
fire alarms upon system operation.
The Model DPV-1 features are as follows:
• External reset.
• 16 bar pressure rating.
• Unique offset single clapper design
enabling a simple compact valve to
minimize installation labor.
• Ductile iron construction to ensure a
lightweight valve to minimize shipping cost.
• A variety of inlet and outlet connections.
• Simple reset procedure through the
elimination of priming water.
Dry pipe sprinkler systems are used in
unheated warehouses, parking garages, store windows, attic spaces,
loading docks, and other areas exposedtofreezingtemperatures,where
water filled pipe cannot be utilized.
When set for service, the dry pipe
sprinklersystemispressurizedwithair
(or nitrogen). The loss of pressure
through an operated automatic sprinkler in response to heat from a fire
permits the DPV-1 Dry Pipe Valve to
open and allow a flow of water into the
sprinkler system piping. Table A establishes the minimum required system air pressure that includes a safety
factor to help prevent false operations
that occur due to water supply fluctuations.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
NO. DESCRIPTIONP/N
(a) Clapper Assembly
is a quick opening device that is intended to reduce the time for valve
operation foll owi ng the operation of
one or more automatic sprinklers. The
Model ACC-1 Accelera tor automatically adjusts to both small and slow
changes in system pressure, but trips
when there is a rapid and steady drop
in pressure (as in the case of a sprinkler operation). Upon tripping, the Accelerator transmits system air pressure to the intermediate chamber of
the Model DPV-1 Dry Pipe Valve. This
neutralizes the differential pressure
holding the Mode l DPV-1 Dry Pipe
Valve closed and permits it to open.
The Model ACC-1 Accelerator has a
unique, positive action, internal antiflood device a nd a ball float which
combine to prevent water and water
borne debris from entering the more
sensitive operating areas of the accelerator. The anti-flood device seals and
latches immediately upon operation of
the Model ACC-1 Accelerator without
waiting for a pressure build-up in the
intermediate chamber of the dry pipe
valve. The latching feature keeps the
anti-flood device sealed, even while
the system is being drained. The ball
float seals the pilot chamber inlet port
if there is an inadvertent trip of the dry
pipe valve, due for example, to an air
compressor failure combined with a
slow loss in system air pressuredue to
a leak.

Operating
Principles
DRY PIPE VALVE
The Model DPV-1 Dry Pipe Valve is a
differential type valve that utilizes a
substantiallylowersystem(airor nitrogen) pressure than the supply (water)
pressure, to maintain the set position
shown in Figure 5A. The differential
nature of the DPV-1 is based on the
area difference between the air seat
and the water seat in combination with
the ratio of the radial difference from
the Hing e Pi n to the center of the
Water Seat and the Hinge Pin to the
center of the Air Seat. The difference
is such that the DPV-1 has a nominal
trip ratio of 5,5:1 (water to air).
Table A establishes the minimum required system air pressure th at includes a safety factor to help prevent
false operations that occur due to
water supply fluctuations.
The Intermediate Chamber of the
DPV-1isformedbytheareabetween
the Air Seat and Water Seat as shown
in Figure 5B. The Intermediate Chamber normally remains at atmospheric
pressure through the Alarm Port connection and the valve trim to the normally open Automatic Drain Valve
(Ref. Figures 8 thru 15). Having the
Intermediate Chamber, Figure 5B,
open to atmosphere is critical to the
DPV-1 Valve remaining set, otherwise
the full resulting pressure of the system air pressure on top of the Clapper
Assembly cannot be realized. For example, if the system air pressure is
1,7 bar and there was 1,0 bar pressure trapped in the Intermediate
Chamber, the r esulting pressure
across the top of the Clapper would
only be 0,7 bar. This pressure would
be insufficient to hold the Clapper Assembly closed against a water supply
pressure of 6,9 bar.
When one or more automatic sprinklers operate in response to a fire, air
pressure within the system piping is
relieved through the open sprinklers.
When the air pressure is sufficiently
reduced, the water pressure overcomes the differential holding the
Clapper Assembly closed and the
Clapper Assembly swings clear of the
water seat, as shown in Figure 5C,
This action permits water flow into the
system piping and subsequently to be
discharged from any open sprinklers.
Also,withtheClapperAssemblyopen,
the intermediate chamber is pressurizedand water flows through the alarm
port (Ref. Figure 5B) at the rear of the
DPV-1 Valve. As the flow through the
alarm port exceeds the drain capacity
of the Automatic Drain Valve, the
alarm line is pressurized to actuate
system water flow alarms.
After a valve actuation and upon subsequent closing of a system main control valve to stop water flow, the Clapper Assembly will latch open asshown
in Figure 5D. Latching open of the
DPV-1 will permit complete draining of
the system (including any loose scale)
through the main drai n po rt .
During the valve resetting procedure
and after the system is completely
drained, the external reset knob can
be easily depressed to externally unlatch the Clapper Assembly as shown
in Figure 5E. As such, the Clapper
Assembly is returned to its normal set
position to facilitate setting of the dry
pipe sprinkler system, without having
to remove the Handhole Cover.
ACCELERATOR
The Inlet Chamber of the Accelerator,
(Ref. Figure 6), is pressurized via its
connection to the system. The Pilot
Chamber is, in tur n, pressurized
throughits inlet port whichisformed by
the annular opening around the lower
tipofthe Anti-Flood Valve. Asthe Pilot
Chamber increases in pressure, the
Differential Chamber is pressurized
through the Restriction.
The Accelerator is in its set position
while it is being pressurized as well as
after the Inlet, Pilot Chamber and Differential Chamber pressures have
equalized. When in the Set position,
theOutlet Chamber is sealed offbythe
ExhaustValvewhichis held againstits
seat by a combination of the Spring
pushing up against the Lever and the
net downward force exerted by the
pressure in the Pilot Chamber.
Both small and slow changes in system pressure are accommodated b y
flow through the Restriction. When,
however, there is a rapid and steady
drop in system (i.e., Inlet and Pilot
Chamber) pressure, the pressure in
the Differential Chamber reduces at a
substantially lower rate. This condition
creates a net downward force on the
Plunger which rotates the Lever. As
theLeveris rotated (Ref. Figure7),the
Relief Valve is raised out of the Relief
Port and the Anti-Flood Valve is depressed downward into the Pilot
Chamber Inlet Port, venting the Pilot
Chamber.
The system pr essure in the Inlet
Chamber then forces (raises) the Exhaust Valve off its seat. Thiscontinues
the rotation of the Lever into the
tripped (latched) position (Ref. Figure
7). As the Exhaust Valve is raised off
its seat, system pressure is transmit-
ted to the intermediate chamber of the
dry pipe valve which neutralizes the
differential pressure holding the valve
closed.
Water and any water borne debris
such as silt is prevented from entering
the Pilot Chamber by virtue of the AntiFlood Valve having sealed off its inlet
port.
After the accelerator/dry pipe valve
has tripped and the sprinkler system
has been drained, the piping from the
systemto theAccelerator must also be
drained and the Accelerator reset/inspected according to the instructions
given in the Valve Setting Procedure
section.
The rate-of-flow through the Restriction has been set such that the M odel
ACC-1 Accelerator provides the maximum practical sensitivity to a loss in
system pressure due to a sprinkler operation while sti ll being capable of
automatically compensating for normal variations in system pressure
such as are caused by environmental
temperaturechanges. A test for verifying that the rate-of-flow through the
Restriction is within the range for optimumA ccelerator performanceisgiven
in the Valve Setting Procedure section.

Installation
NOTES
Proper operation of the Model DPV-1
Dry Pipe Valve depends upon its trim
being installed in accordance with Figures 8 thru 15, as applicable. Alteration of the trim may prevent the DPV-1
Valve from functioning properly, as
well as void approvals and the manufacturer’s warranties.
Failure to latch open the Clapper Assembly prior to a system hydrostatic
test may result in damage to the Clapper Assembly.
The DPV-1 Valve must be installed in
a readily visible and accessible location.
The DPV-1 Valve and associated trim
mustbemaintainedataminimumtemperature of 4°C.
Heat tracing of the DPV-1 V alv e or its
associated trim is not permitted. Heat
tracing can result in the formation of
hardenedmineraldepositsthatarecapable of preventing proper operation.
The Model DPV-1 Dry Pipe Valve is to
be installed in accordance with the following criteria:
Step 1. When trimming valves in the
field (i.e., other than valves provided
with factory assembled trim), all nipples, fittings, and devices must be
clean and free of scale and burrs before installation. Use pipe thread
sealantsparinglyon male pipe threads
only.
Step 2. The DPV-1 Valve must be
trimmed in accordance with Figures 8
thru 15.
Step 3. Care must be taken to make
sure that check valves, strainers,
globevalves, etc. are installed with the
flow arrows in the proper direction.
Step 4. Sui table provision must be
made for disposal of drain water.
Drainage water must be directed such
that it will not cause accidental damage to property or danger to persons.
Step 5. Installation of an Air Maintenance Device, as described in the
Technical Data Section, is recommended.
Step 6. An Inspector’s Test Connection must be provided on the system
pipingat the mostremotelocation from
the Model DPV-1 Valve.
Step 7. Conduitand electrical connections are to be made in accordance
with the requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction.
Step 8. Before a system hydrostatic
test is performed in accordance with
the standards recognized by the Approval agency, in addition to any other
authorities having jurisdiction, the
Clapper Assembly is to be manually
latched open (Ref. Fig. 4D); the Automatic Drain Valve (Ref. Figures 8 thru
15) is to be temporarily plugged, and
the Handhole Cover Bolts are to be
tightened using a cross-draw sequence.
Valve Setting
Procedure
Steps 1 through 12 are to be performed when initially settingthe Model
DPV-1 Dry Pipe Valve; after an operationaltestofthefireprotectionsystem;
or, after system operation due to a fire.
Determine which of Figures 8 through
15 is applicable for your given riser
arrangement,and then proceed as follows:
Step 1. Close the Main Control Valve,
and close the Air Supply Control
Valve.
IftheDPV-1isequippedwitha
Dry Pipe Valve Accelerator, close the
Accelerator Control Valve.
Step 2. Open the Main Drain V al v e
and all auxiliary drains in the system.
Close the auxiliary drain valves after
water ceases to discharge. Leave the
Main Drain V alve open.
Step 3. As applicable, place the
Three-way Alarm Control Valve in the
open position.
Step 4. Verify thatthe A utomatic Drain
Valve has stopped draining to determinetheDPV-1Valveiscompletely
drained.
Step 5. As necessary, replace all
sprinklers that have operated. Replacement sprinklers must be of the
same type and temperature rating as
those which have operated.
In order to prevent the possibility of a
subsequent operation of an overheated solder type sprinkler, any solder type sprinklers which were possibly exposed to a temperature greater
than the ir maximum rated ambient
must be replaced.
Step 6. Push down on the Reset Knob
(Fig. 5E) to allow the Clapper Assembly to reseat.
Step 7. Pressurize the system with air
(or nitrogen) to 0,7 bar, and then individually open all auxiliary drain valves
NOTE
in the system piping to drain any remaining water in trapped sections.
Close each drain valve as soon as
water ceases to discharge. Also partially open the Low Body Drain V alve
in the valve trim to assure thatthe riser
is completely drained. Close the Low
Body Drain Valve as soon as water
ceases to discharge.
Step 8. Refer to Table A and then
restore the system to the normal system air pressure as necessary to hold
the DPV-1 Valve closed.
Step 9. Verify that there is not any air
discharging from the Automatic Drain
Valve.
The absence of air discharging from
theAutomaticDrainValveis an indication of a properl y set air seat wit h in the
DPV-1Valve. If air is discharging,refer
to the Care and Maintenance section
under Automatic Drain Valve Inspection to determine/correct the cause of
the leakage problem.
Step 10. If the DPV-1 is equipped with
aDry Pipe Valve Accelerator, reset the
Dry Pipe Valve Accelerator in accordance with Steps 10A thru 10H. Otherwise, proceed to Step 11.
Step 10A. While holding the plunger
of the A utomatic Drain Valve depressed, open the Accelerator Control Valve one-quarter turn and allow
the water in the Accelerator piping to
blowout.Afterwaterspray stops discharging, close the Accelerator Control Valve and then release the
plunger.
Step 10B. Slowly remove the Vent
Plug located in the frontof the Accelerator Cover and bleedoff any residual air pressure in the Differential
Chamber.
Step 10C. Unscrew (counter-clockwise rotation) the knurled Reset
Knob at the front of the Accelerator
until it resists further turning. A click,
whichis thesound of the Lever snapping back into the Set Position, may
be heard. Scre w t he Res et Knob
back in until it is finger tight.
NOTE
Do not wrenchon the reset Knob, since
damagemayresult. TheResetKnobwill
turn with finger torque only.
Step 10D. Replace the Vent Plug.
Step 10E. Verify that the system air
pressure has returned to normal.
Step 10F. Using a watch, note the
time for the pressure in the Differential Chamber of the Accelerator to
increase to 0,7 bar after the Accelerator Control Valve is opened. The

TABLE C
DIFFERENTIAL CHAMBER FILL TIMES TO 0,7 BAR
time should be within the range of
values indicated in Table C for optimum performance of the Accelerator.
NOTE
If the time to pressurize the Differential
Chamber to 0,7 bar is not within the
range of values given in the Table C,
then the Accelerator Control Valve
shouldbe closed and the correctiveprocedure described in the Careand Maintenance Section followed.
Step 10G. When the air pressure in
the Differential Chamber of the Accelerator is equal to that in the system, then the Accelerator is set and
ready for service.
Step 10H. Close the Accelerator
Control Valve and then slowly open
theLow Body Drain Valve in the trim,
to bleed off any excess water
trapped above the dry pipe valve
clapper.Reclose the LowBodyDrain
Valve, return system pressure to its
normal value, and then re-open the
Accelerator Control Valve.
Step 11. Partially open the Main Control Valve. Slowly close the Main Drain
Valve as soon as water discharges
from the drain connection.
Verify that there is not any water discharging from the Automatic Drain
Valve.
The absence of water discharging
from the Automatic Drain Valve is an
indication of a properly set water seat
within the DPV-1 Valve. If water is discharging, refer to the Care and Maintenance section under the Automatic
Drain V alve In spection to dete rmine/correct the cause of the leakage
problem.
If there are no leaks, the DPV-1 Valve
isready tobeplacedinservice andthe
Main Control Valve must then be fully
opened.
NOTE
After setting a fire protection system,
notify the proper authorities and advise those responsible for monitoring
proprietary and/or central station
alarms.
Step 12. Once a week after a valve is
reset following an operational test or
system operation, the Low Body Drain
Valve (and any low point drain valves)
should be partially opened (and then
subsequently closed) to relieve drainback water. Continue this procedure
until drain-back water is no longer present.
Care and
Maintenance
The following procedures and inspections should be performed as indicated, in addition to any specific requirements of any authority having
jurisdiction. Impairments must be immediately corrected.
The owner is responsible for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and devices in c om plia nce with this document, as well as with the applicable
standardsof any authorityhavingjurisdiction. The installing contractor or
product manufacturer should be contacted relative to any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected,
tested, and maintained by a qualified
Inspection Service.
NOTES
The operational test procedure and
waterflow pressure alarm test procedure will result in operation of the associated alarms. Consequently, notification must first be given to the owner
and the fire department, central station,or other signal stationtowhichthe
alarms are connected.
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system that
itcontrols, permission to shutdownthe
affected fire protection systems must
first be obtained from the proper
authorities and all personnel who may
be affected by this decision must be
notified.
Page 11 of 22
Annual Operation Test Procedure
Proper operation of the DPV-1 Valve
(i.e., opening of the DPV-1 Valve during a fire condition) should be verified
at least once a year as follows:
Step 1. If water must be prevented
from flowing beyond the riser, perform
the following steps.
• Close the Main Control Valve.
• Open the Main Drain Valve.
• Open the Main Control Valve one
turn beyond the position at which
water just begins to flow from the
Main Drain Valve.
• Close the Main Drain Valve.
Step 2. Open the system’s Inspector’s
Test Connection.
Step 3. Verify that the DPV-1 Valve
has operated, as indicated by the flow
of water into the system and that all
waterflow alarms operate properly.
Step 4. Close the system’s Main Control Valve.
Step 5. Reset the DPV-1 Valve in accordancewith the ValveSetting Procedure.
NOTE
It is recommended that the inside of
the valve be inspected at this time and
prior to resetting theDPV-1 Valve. Refer to the Self Closing Drain Valve Inspection sub-section Steps 2 through
5 for instructions with regard to the
inspection of the Clapper Facing.

alarms should be performed periodically based on the requirements of
the authority having jurisdiction. To
test the waterfl ow alarm, place the
Three-wayAlarmTestValveinthe
“Test” position or open the Standard
AlarmTestValve,asapplicable,which
will allow a flow of water to the Waterflow Pressure Alarm Switch and/or
Water Motor Alarm. Upon satisfactory
completion of the test, place the
Three-wayAlarmTestValveinthe
“Open” position or close the Standard
Alarm Test Valve, as applicable.
Water Pressure Inspection
The Water Pressure Gauge is to be
inspectedperiodically based on the requirements of the authority having jurisdictionto ensure that normal system
water pressure is being maintained.
Air Pressure Inspection
The Air Pressure Gauge is to be inspected periodically based on the requirements of the authority having ju-
Page 12 of 22
TFP1090
risdictionto ensure that normal system
air pressure is being maintained.
Automatic Drain Valve Inspection
The Automatic Drain Valve should be
inspectedperiodically based on the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction by depressing the plunger
and checking to ensure that the Automatic Drain Valve is not discharging
water and/or air. A discharge of water
and/or air is an indication that the air
and/or water seats are leaking, which
could subsequently cause a false operation should the intermediate chamberbecomeinadvertentlypressurized.
If leakage is present, take the DPV-1
Valve out of service (i.e., close the
main control valve, open the main
drainvalve, close the air supplycontrol
valve, remove the Dry Pipe Valve Accelerator from service, as applicable,
by closing the Accelerator Control
Valve, and open the Inspector’s Test
Connection to relieve the system air
pressure to 0 psig as indicated on the
SystemAirPressureGauge), and then
after removing the Handhole Cover,
perform the followin g st eps :
Step 1. Make sure that the Seat Ring
is clean and free of any n icks orsignificant scratches.
Step 2. Remove the Clapper Assembly from the valve by first pulling out
the Hinge Pin.
Step 3. Disassemble the Clapper Facing Ret a ine r from the Cl app er so that
the Clapper Facing can be removed
and inspected. Make sure that the
ClapperFacingdoes not show signs of
compression set, damage, etc. Replacethe Clapper Facing if thereisany
signs of wear.
Step 4. Clean the Clapper Facing,
Clapper,and ClapperFacingRetainer,
and then reassemble the Clapper Assembly.
Step 5. Reinstall the Clapper Assembly with its Hinge Pinand thenreinstall
the Handhole Cover.
Accelerator Inspection Procedur e
Itis recommended that theAccelerator
be inspected periodically based onthe
requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction to determine proper operation of the Accelerator without having
to trip the dry pipe valve. This procedure mus t also be used whenever
flooding the system would expose the
water to freezing conditions.
trouble shooting of the Model ACC-1
Dry Pipe Valve Accelerator.
Step 1. Verify that the Reset Knob is
screwed in.
Step 2. Close the system’s main control valve and open the main drain
valve to relieve the supply pressure to
the dry pipe valve.
Step 3. Verify that the Accelerator
Control Valve is open.
Step 4. Open the Inspector’s Test
Connection. Verify that the time to Acceleratortrip is essentially thesameas
in previous tests. A momentary burst
of air from the Automatic Drain Valve
indicates that the Accelerator has
tripped.
NOTE
As the system pressure is decreasing,
check for any sign of water being discharged from the Accelerator Relief
Port.
Step 5. Depress the plunger of the
Automatic Drain Valv e. A steady
stream of exhausting air indicates that
theAcceleratorhas properly latched in
the Tripped position.
Step 6. Close the Accelerator Control
Valve and the Inspector’s Test Connection.
Step 9 . After the system automatically
restores itself to its normal air pressure, reset the Accelerator and Dry
Pipe Valve in accordance with the
Valve Setting Procedure Steps 10 and
11.

(R) reads the accelerator pressure.
II. Operation
When one or more sprinklers are activated, the accelerator operatesto permit system air pressure into the dry
pipe valve intermediate chamber. Doing so will immediately overcome the
ability of the system air pressure to
hold the dry pipe valve closed without
havingto wait fora system air pressure
to decay to approximately 20% of the
water supply. The dry pipe valve immediately opens to permit water flow
into the system piping and to be discharged from any open sprinklers.
Also, with the dry pipe valve open,
water flows to actuate the waterflow
pressure alarm switch (M) and, as applicable, the water motor alarm.

III. Removing system from service:
Step 1. Close the main control valve
(A), close the air supply control valve
(K),closethe accelerator controlvalve
(R), and place the three-way alarm
controlvalve (E) in theclosedposition.
Step2. Drain the system with the main
drain valve (F) andby opening all auxiliary drain valves in the system to
make sure that cross-mains and
branch lines are drained.
IV. Placing the system back in service:
Step 1. Close the auxiliary drain
valves after water ceases to discharge,andleavethemain drain valve
(F) open.
Step 2. Place the thre e-way alarm
control valve (E) in the open position.
Step 3. Replace the sprinklers that
haveoperated and the sprinklersclose
to the fire.
Step 4. Push down on the reset knob
(P) to allow the dry pipe valve (D) to
reseat.
Step 5. Viathe air supply control valve
(K) pressurize the system with air to
0,7 bar, and then open and close each
auxiliary drain valves in the system
piping to drain any remaining water in
trapped sections. Also, partially open
the low body drain valve (L) to assure
that the riser is completely drained.
Close the low body drain valve (L) as
soon as water ceases to discharge.
Step 6. Open the air supply control
valve (K) to restore the system to the
normal system air pressure.

Step 8. Partially open the main control
valve (A), and then slowly close the
main drain valve (F).
Step 9. Fully open the main control
valve (A) and lock it open.
Step 10. Reset the fire alarm panel
and notify the central alarm station.
V. Weekly test:
Important: Prior to closing any valves
or activating any alarms, notify local
security guards and the central alarm
station if applicable.
Step 1. Place the three-way alarm
control valve (E) in the test position,
verify that the alarm signal created by
the waterflow pressure alarm switch
(M) is visible at the fire panel. If applicable, check the sound of the water
motor alarm — it must be clear and
steady.
Step 2. Place the three-way alarm
control valve (E) in the open position
and verify that the normal supply and
system pressures are restored. If the
supply pressure is below the normal,
use the ins truc tions from the water
supply to obtain the usual pressure.
Step 3. Close the pr essure switch
valve ( J) and verify operation of the
low air pressur e alarm switch (N).
Step 4. Return the pressure switch
valve (J) to the normally open position
after verifying that the alarm signal is
visible at the fire panel.
