Model DDX Double Interlock Preaction System Electric/Pneumatic Release Trim (Type F) Engineering Specification General Description Deluge valve shall be a [4” (100 mm)] [6” (150 mm)] [cULus Listed] [Factory Mutual Approved] [New York City MEA Approved 258-93-E] hydraulically operated, differential latching clapper-type valve. Deluge valve construction shall be of lightweight, ductile-iron construction with “drop in” navy bronze seat and clapper assembly. Bronze seat shall have O-ring seals to resist corrosion and leakage. Clapper facing shall be pressure actuated, providing a limited compression seat for the sealing force between the clapper rubber facing and the valve seat. Deluge valve shall have an external reset knob for resetting the clapper without having to remove the valve face plate. Push-rod chamber design shall consist of a stainless steel piston/push-rod and spring assembly with diaphragm seal secured to the casting through a push-rod guide constructed of a synthetic engineering plastic to resist corrosion. Casting shall have a bleeder hole located on the push-rod chamber for air/water leakage indication. Trip ratio shall be approximately a 3:1 force differential. Deluge valve shall be of the straight-through design to minimize friction loss and shall be activated by electric/pneumatic actuation trim. Inlet restriction orifice shall be factory installed into inlet port of deluge valve push-rod cover plate and not be a separate part of the deluge valve trim. End connection style to be [4” (100 mm) or 6” (150 mm) grooved inlet and grooved outlet, per ANSI/AWWA C606. Deluge valve shall have a rated working pressure of 250 psi (17.2 bar) and shall be factory hydrostatic tested at 500 psi (34,5 bar). Deluge valve to be [4” (100 mm)] [6” (150 mm)] Reliable Model DDX Deluge Valve (Bulletin 511). Valve trim shall consist of preaction electric/pneumatic release trim consisting of galvanized and brass components specifically listed/approved with the de
