Recision Engineering: Premium Pressure Reducing Valve For Fire Safety

nstallation Guide for CA-FIRE Grooved Pressure Reducing Valve

Preparation:

Procedure:

Prepare the Pipe Ends: Use a pipe cutter to create clean, square cuts on the pipe ends.

Insert the Gasket: Place the appropriate gasket into the grooved end of the pipe.

Attach the Valve: Align the grooved end of the pipe with the valve's grooved connection and insert until it seats against the stop.

Secure the Connection: Using a grooved wrench, tighten the coupling nut to secure the connection. Ensure an even and secure fit without over-tightening.

Check for Leaks: After installation, perform a pressure test to ensure there are no leaks at the connection points.

System Integration: Integrate the valve into the fire protection system and ensure it is properly positioned and aligned with the flow direction.

Post-Installation:

Label the valve for easy identification and maintenance.

Provide operation and maintenance instructions to the system operators.
