General 
Description
The TYCO DV-5A Red-E Cabinet is a 
pre-assembled fire protection valve 
package enclosed within a free-stand-
ing cabinet designed to occupy minimal 
floor space and to provide an aestheti-
cally pleasing enclosure for a fire pro-
tection valve riser. The entire package 
is pre-wired and the water inlet and 
outlets to the valve riser are grooved to 
provide minimal installation time. The 
valve package includes the system 
(manual) shut-off control valve, auto-
matic water control valve, and water-
flow/supervisory switches. When dry 
pilot actuation is utilized, a built-in air 
compressor with associated controls 
provides an automatic air supply for 
the dry pilot lines.
Integral to the DV-5
A Red-E Cabinet is a 
control panel and back-up batteries for 
providing electrical alarm, supervisory, 
and trouble functions. All switches 
within the cabinet are pre-wired to the 
control panel, making the electrical 
connections for power, detection cir-
cuits (as applicable), and alarms the 
only remaining connections to com-
plete the system.
In addition to the control panel being 
integral to the DV-5
A Red-E Cabinet, 
windows have been provided in the 
door for viewing the releasing panel 
functions and essential system pres-
sure gauges. A lock for the control 
panel access door is standard, and a 
lock for the cabinet door is optional.

Construction
The Red-E Cabinet is constructed of a 
minimum thickness of 14 gauge steel, 
and is free standing. The standard 
paint finish is bright red and black. The 
front doors of the enclosure are fully 
hinged and removable and open nearly 
to the cabinet floor level, allowing easy 
access to the couplings when connect-
ing the water supply and drain.
The compressor is stored near the 
bottom of the cabinet on a pull out 
drawer for access through the double 
doors. Pre-drilled holes on tabs along 
the base provide an anchor point for the 
cabinet to be secured to the floor when 
required. Industrial grade rollers at the 
bottom of the cabinet are standard. 
Internal controls that provide functions 
to reset a system after operation, for 
example, alarm test valve, main drain 
valve, are individually tagged for easy 
identification. All prefabricated piping 
is Schedule 40 steel.
