General 
Description
The TYCO DV-5a Automatic Water 
Control Valve Deluge Electric Actua-
tion are diaphragm type valves that 
can be used in deluge fire protection 
systems. When properly trimmed, the 
double seat design of the DV-5
a Valve 
also provides actuation of fire alarms 
upon system operation.
The diaphragm style design of the 
DV-5
a Valve allows external resetting, 
providing for easy resetting of a deluge 
system without having to open a valve 
handhole cover to manually reposition 
a clapper and/or latch mechanism. 
Simply re-pressurizing the diaphragm 
chamber resets the valve.
The DV-5
a features internal and exter-
nal coating of the valve to provide 
corrosion resistance. The external cor-
rosion resistance of the epoxy coating 
permits the use of the DV-5
a in cor-
rosive atmospheres associated with 
many types of industrial processing 
plants and outdoor installations.
The DV-5
a Deluge Electric Actuation 
Valve is offered with the DV-5
a Valve 
and separately ordered semi-assem-
bled trim as shown in Figure 5. 
The DV-5
a Deluge Electric Actua-
tion Valve is offered with or without a 
System Main Control Valve.
