General

The Reliable Model B1 Accelerator with its integral Ac-

celo-Check (anti-flooding device) is used to speed up the

operation of both dry pipe valves (in dry-type automatic

sprinkler systems) and deluge valves (in pre-action sprin-

kler systems). Both of these system types utilize pressur-

ized air, instead of water, in their piping as to avoid expo-

sure to water sensitive areas and/or freezing conditions.

The accelerated operation of the dry pipe valve floods

the sprinkler system with water permitting a substantial in-

crease in both the number of sprinklers that can be con-

trolled by one dry pipe valve and the volume of the dry

system that can be installed.
