RE: os&y gate valve

What is your question? Yes, you want a system control valve.

RE: os&y gate valve

you normally need an indicating control valve for the riser

does not have to be osy

RE: os&y gate valve

You would have two OS&Y gate valve and in between them you would have a back flow preventer, at least in the USA.

RE: os&y gate valve

Chicopee: A backflow preventer is not required in all jurisdictions. Just an FYI.

RE: os&y gate valve

I was of the opinion that the EPA did not want potential water supply contamination and therefore requiring all communities to have backflow preventers at least on new installations.

RE: os&y gate valve

There are quite a few in this area that do not require a double check assembly. These AHJ's just require a single check on the riser or on the incoming fire line.

It surprised me as well when I moved to this area many years ago.

hi Guys!

zicoo000 , As per NFPA-13 8.16.1.1.1.1, each sprinkler system shall be provided with listed indicating valve in an accessible location, so located as to control all automatic sources of water supply. Further, not necessarily you need a tamper switch but you must satisfy one of the requirement with reagrds to supervision. go through NFAP-13 8.16.1.1.2.

PS. NFPA-13 2010 ed.

hope it helps,
