Description
The Model B, D & E Wet Alarm Valves are designed for use in Wet Pipe Sprinkler Installations in buildings not subject
to freezing temperatures. A variety of trim packages are available to suit the requirements of various approval
authorities and a number of accessories can be supplied. Wet Alarm Valve Stations normally comprise of Alarm
Valve, Trim, Gauges and Main Stop Valve. These assemblies are hydrostatically tested to18 Bar prior to despatch.
Accessories include Straps and Padlocks, Pressure Switches, Retard Chamber and Water Motor Alarm Gong.

Model B Wet Alarm Valve - LPCB Approved

LPCB Approved / CE Marked
Description
The LPCB / CE marked model B alarm valve is a differential type consisting of a rubber faced cast iron swing
clapper and grooved brass seat. The seat is tinned to prevent the rubber clapper facing from sticking. This valve
must be installed vertically in the main supply to a wet pipe sprinkler system.
Operation
When a sprinkler head operates or the inspectors test valve is opened, pressure on the system side of the clapper
is reduced below the pressure on the supply side. The clapper then lifts off the grooved seat and permits water flow
from the supply to enter the system for distribution on the fire. Water now also flows through the uncovered groove
to the alarm device via the optional retard chamber where fitted. A pressure surge or water hammer in the supply
line will increase the pressure on the supply side of the clapper, causing it to lift intermittently which may result in a
false alarm. The model B alarm valve will prevent such false alarms by two features:
a) The external by pass with check valve allows a pressure surge from the supply to by pass the alarm
valve clapper. This will create an excess system pressure and thus steady the clapper.
b) Should a heavy surge unseat the clapper and allow water to flow into the alarm line, the optional
model E retard chamber then comes into action. This unit has specially designed inlet and drain
orifices which will allow the chamber to partially drain before filling and activating the alarm device.
The retard chamber also has a strainer in the intake line to prevent foreign matter from clogging the
intake orifice.
Care must be taken when installing the 20mm check valve in the by pass line to be certain that it is located with
the arrow on the body pointing towards the alarm valve.
Maintenance
The model B alarm valve is so constructed that there is nothing to adjust under normal water and operating conditions
and requires very little maintenance. The system pressure gauge should read equal too or higher than the supply
pressure gauge. Alarm valves should be regularly examined to ensure reliability. Inspection of the valve should be
as follows:
a) Notify the Fire Service, Insurance Provider and other centres requiring notification prior to commencing
inspection.
b) Remove any padlocks and straps.
c) Close supply stop valve and open main drain valve (item 34, Fig 1).
d) Remove front cover (item 3, Fig 2)
e) Remove the two clapper pin plugs and hinge pin (items 7 & 9 Fig 3) and clapper assembly (Fig 4)
f) Clean thoroughly removing any accumulated deposits. Inspect the valve rubber/clapper facing; if
worn or damaged replace with genuine replacement parts.
g) Inspect the clapper seat ring for lodgement of dirt, bruising or scoring. Clean thoroughly. (A damaged
seat ring can be carefully dressed using lapping compound. If the damage is extensive then a
complete new valve should be fitted.)
h) Reinstall clapper, hinge pin and front cover.
i) Remove swing clapper from 20mm check valve (item 19, Fig 1) on by pass line, and check condition
of clapper and seat. Replace complete unit if damaged.
j) When every part is reinstalled close main drain valve and reset valve as per Procedures after a fire.

The wet alarm valve is constructed so that there is nothing to adjust under normal water and operating conditions
and requires very little maintenance. The system pressure gauge should read equal too or higher than the supply

Model E Water Motor Alarm Gong

Installation
a) Cut a hole in the wall to accommodate the 20mm pipe.
b) Cut drive shaft housing (item 9) to wall thickness plus 40mm.
c) Attach drive shaft housing to bracket (item 13) without removing bolt (item 14), and position this assembly
on the outside wall with the drive shaft housing through the wall.
d) Remove the six cover screws (item 6), cover (item 4), cover gasket (item 7), and pelton wheel (item 2) from
theipelton wheel housing (item 1).
e) Insert drive shaft (item 8) through the drive shaft housing into engagement with the striker shaft (item 15).
f) Cut drive shaft even with the top flange of bearing (item 3) in the pelton wheel housing.
g) Insert pelton wheel and rotate by hand to assure proper alignment.
h) Attach cover and cover gasket to pelton wheel housing with the six cover screws.
Operation
When, in the case of a fire emergency, the sprinkler system is activated, flowing water enters the Water Motor Alarm
Gong inlet and strikes the pelton wheel. Rotating in a turbine fashion, the pelton wheel transmits its torque to the
striker assembly which sounds the alarm. The water, after it impinges on the pelton wheel, flows through the drain
outlet in the pelton wheel housing.
Maintenance
a) The 20mm strainer, located in the alarm line from the alarm valve, should be periodically cleaned to ensure
sufficient flow to the Water Motor Alarm Gong.
b) The clean out plug (item 5) should be periodically removed to avoid any accumulation of debris and scale
that may have passed through the strainer.
c) The inside of the gong (item 11) should be checked periodically for the accumulation of foreign material.
