SFL Acv Alarm Check Valve
MODEL: SFL-ACV
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Alarm Check Valve is a double seated clapper check valve with grooved seat design, which
ensures positive water flow for alarm operation and is designed for installation in wet pipe
sprinkler system. External bypass prevents false alarm under all supply pressure condition. In the
event of variable pressure condition, false alarm is prevented with the provision of retard chamber,
thus the design allows for installation under both variable and constant supply pressure condition.
Operation of one or more automatic fire sprinklers causes the water to flow into the sprinkler
system causing the alarm valve to open, allowing continuous flow of water into the system and
transmittal of alarm, both electrical and mechanical.
