Technical 
Data
Approvals
UL/C-UL Listed
Listings and Approvals are based 
on DV-5A Valves being trimmed as 
described in this technical data sheet 
and in conjunction with the use of the 
Burkert Type 5282 Solenoid.
For local EMEA regional approvals, 
consult with your local distributor.
DV-5A Valve
Components for the 3 in. to 8 in. 
(DN80 to DN200) DV-5A Valves are 
shown in Figure 1. The DV-5A Valves 
are for vertical installations. They are 
rated for use at a service pressures of 
20 to 300 psi (1,4 to 20,7 bar).
The take-out dimensions are shown 
in Figure 3, and flanged connections 
are available drilled per ANSI, ISO, AS, 
and JIS specifications (Ref. Table A). 
Threaded inlet and outlet connec-
tions are available in NPT or ISO 7/1. 
Threaded port connections are NPT 
threaded.
Valve Trim
The Maximum pressure rating is as 
follows:
•  Deluge Remote-Resetting, Pressure-
Reducing Trim is 250 psi (16 bar) 
dependent on separately ordered 
solenoid valve.
When the system pressure is greater 
than 175 psi (12,1 bar), provision is 
to be made to replace the standard 
order 300 psi (20,7 bar) Water Pres-
sure Gauges with separately ordered 
600 psi (41,4 bar) Water Pressure 
Gauges.
If the addition of an Alarm Control Valve 
is desired or required by the local AHJ, 
the Alarm Control Valve noted as Item 
H in Figure 9 is to be a separately 
ordered electronically supervised nor-
mally open valve.
External trim connections are NPT 
threaded. EMEA trim is provided with 
NPT x ISO 7/1 thread adapters.
Pressure Loss
For the flow characteristics across the 
valve when the inlet pressure is below 
the set pressure, refer to Graph A 
through Graph D and Table B.

galvanized or black as required and 
are malleable per ASME B16.3.
• 
Common hardware pipe nipples are 
galvanized or black as required and 
are Schedule 40 per ASTM A53 or 
A135.

Common hardware compression 
ttings are brass per ASTM B16.
• 
Common hardware tubing is Type L 
copper per ASTM B88.
Design 
Criteria
The following items must be consid-
ered and applied accordingly for TYCO 
DV-5A Valve with Remote-Resetting, 
Pressure-Reducing Trim installations.
NOTICE
The owner is responsible to design into 
the system a releasing circuit such that 
a Solenoid Valve is properly configured 
to enable remote resetting.
The building owner must be informed 
of the capabilities and limitations of a 
remote-resetting, pressure-reducing 
system as it pertains to the possibil-
ity of an inadvertent remote closing 
of the DV-5A Valve during a fire condi-
tion. Therefore, personnel responsible 
for the fire protection system must be 
fully trained on system components 
and required actions in the case of an 
alarm.
The Control Panel, Detectors, and Pull 
Stations are to be installed in accor-
dance with their laboratory listings and 
approval.
System piping is to be installed so that 
it is self-draining. TYCO Model AD-2 
Automatic Drain Valves can be used 
to drain low sections of pipe as nec-
essary. For more information, refer to 
Technical Data Sheet TFP1632.
