NOTICE
The DV-5 Supervised Single Interlock 
Preaction System with Wet Pilot Actua-
tion Trim described herein must be in-
stalled and maintained in compliance 
with this document, as well as with the 
applicable standards of the National 
Fire Protection Association, in addition 
to the standards of any other authori-
ties having jurisdiction. Failure to do so 
may impair the performance of the re-
lated devices.
The owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system 
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any 
questions.

Valve Trim
The Supervised Single Interlock Pre-
action System with Wet Pilot Actuation 
Trim (Fig. 3A or 3B) forms a part of the 
laboratory listings and approvals. The 
trim is necessary for proper operation 
of the DV-5 Valve.
Each package of trim includes the fol-
lowing items:
• Water Supply Pressure Gauge
• Diaphragm Chamber 
Pressure Gauge
• Diaphragm Chamber Connections
• Manual Control Station
• Main Drain Valve
• System Drain Valve
• Alarm Test Valve
• Automatic Drain Valve
• System Air Pressure Gauge
• Air Supply Connections
•
Low Air Pressure Supervisory Switch
•
Waterow Pressure Alarm Switch 
(PS10-2)
The following items are included in the 
Pre-trimmed Valve Assembly and can 
be ordered separately for the valve 
trim:
• Model BFV-N Buttery Valve
• Figure 577 Grooved Coupling
To ease eld assembly of the trim ar-
rangement, the trim components are 
provided partially assembled as shown 
in Figure 3B.
The trim arrangement is provided with 
galvanized or black nipples and ttings. 
The galvanized trim is intended for 
non-corrosive or corrosive conditions, 
whereas the black trim is principally in-
tended for use with AFFF systems.
NOTE: When the system pressure is 
greater than 175 psi (12,1 bar), provi-
sion is to be made to replace the stan-
dard order 300 psi (20,7 bar) Water 
Pressure Gauges, shown in Figure 3A 
or 3B with separately ordered 600 psi 
(41,4 bar) Water Pressure Gauges.
Detection System
In order for a single interlock preaction 
system to be hydraulically calculated 
as a wet pipe system, as opposed to a 
dry pipe sprinkler system, the detection 
system must be designed to operate 
sooner than the automatic sprinklers 
on the sprinkler piping. In the case of 
wet pilot actuation, the system design-
er selects pilot sprinklers that will op-
erate sooner than the automatic sprin-
klers chosen for use on the sprinkler 
piping.
The Supervised Single Interlock Pre-
action System with Wet Pilot Actua-
tion Trim provides for connection of a 
detection system consisting of Wet Pi-
lot Line Sprinklers (heat detectors) and 
manual control stations interconnected 
with minimum 1/2 inch (DN15) Sched-
ule 40 steel pipe. The pilot line is con-
nected to the Wet Pilot Detection con-
nection shown in Figure 3B. Nominal 
installation dimensions for the Super-
vised Single Interlock Preaction Sys-
tem with Wet Pilot Actuation Trim are 
shown in Figure 4.
Wet pilot sprinklers are to be minimum 
5.6 K-factor orice listed or approved 
automatic sprinklers. Manual Control 
Stations are to be the Model MC-1 
described in Technical Data Sheet 
TFP1382.
The maximum height of a wet pilot line 
above the DV-5 Valve must not exceed 
the limitations shown in Table A as a 
function of the minimum water sup-
ply pressure to the DV-5 Valve for an 
equivalent length (pipe plus ttings) of 
the pilot line up to 500 feet to the most 
remote pilot sprinkler.
Provision must be made for installing 
a 5.6 K-factor orice, Inspector’s Test 
Connection at the most hydraulically 
demanding location of a wet pilot line 
(usually adjacent to the highest and 
most remote wet pilot line sprinkler or 
manual control station).
