1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Halar® Coated Concentrate Control Valve (CCV) is utilized in Viking foam systems as a positive shut-off valve for the foam
concentrate supplied either from a bladder tank or a foam pump. The CCV valve opens automatically when there is a water flow in
the sprinkler system. This allows concentrate to flow through the proportioning device to create foam solution.
A. Standard Foam Deluge, Foam Preaction, and Foam Flow Control Systems (See Figure 4)
The CCV valve is a straight through Halar® coated deluge. The priming connection can be part of the riser control valve trim,
(conventional deluge or flow control trim). When the priming connection to the CCV is located on the primary riser valve trim, the
priming supply connection to the CCV is located prior to the release trim. The actual supply inlet to the CCV should be connected
to an open connection port on the cover of the deluge or flow control valve. The 1/2” pipe plugs installed in the cover of the
deluge or flow control valve may be removed and piping from the valve cover can be connected to the priming chamber of the
CCV or an outlet can be created prior to the release device (solenoid or pneumatic actuator) on the valve trim. When the deluge
or flow control valve activates, the priming water in the deluge or flow control valve and the CCV are released simultaneously
allowing both valves to open. Priming water pressure will be drained through the deluge or flow control valve trim. The valves
will remain open until the system is reset. Refer to design data pages for re-setting instructions.
B. Wet Foam Systems (See Figure 3)
The CCV valve is a straight through Halar® coated deluge or flow control valve. Where the CCV is used in conjunction with a wet
foam system a separate primary priming connection is required. The separate priming connection will consist of a ½” ball valve,
½” “Y” strainer, 1/8” restricted orifice, ½” spring loaded check valve, and Pressure Operated Relief Valve (PORV). The priming
water supply to the CCV is taken upstream of the riser control valve. The priming supply feeds through the system to the priming
chamber of the CCV. The sensing side of the PORV is connected to the alarm connection of the Alarm Valve. When water flow
is present through the sprinkler riser, water flows from the alarm connection to the sensing side of the PORV, the PORV opens
which drains the CCV priming chamber allowing it to open. Foam concentrate will discharge from the CCV to the proportioning
device until water pressure is removed from the sensing side of the PORV. Note that the PORV ½” drain will operate when the
system is activated. The PORV must be piped to an open drain.

4. INSTALLATION
Refer to specific technical data sheets, acceptable installation standards, codes and Authority Having Jurisdiction for additional
installation, operation and maintenance instructions.
5. OPERATION
Refer to individual component technical data page.
WARNING
Any system maintenance or testing that involves placing a control valve or detection system out of service may
eliminate the fire protection of that system. Prior to proceeding, notify all Authorities Having Jurisdiction. Consideration
should be given to employment of a fire patrol in the affected area.
It is imperative that the system is inspected and tested on a regular basis. The frequency of the inspections may vary due to
contaminated or corrosive water supplies and corrosive atmospheres. In addition, the alarm devices or other connected equipment
may require more frequent inspections. Refer to the technical data, system description, applicable codes and Authority Having
