Zone Control Valve Functions

• Isolating of each zone (floor or zone open area) fore maintenance purposes.
• Check System pressure .
• Drain the specific zone connected to it .
• Actuate an alarm during fire occurrence.
• Actuate an alarm if OS&Y Gate valve is closed.

Zone Control Valve Maximum Working Area :

The maximum floor area on any one floor to be protected by sprinklers supplied by any one sprinkler system riser or combined system riser shall be as follows :

• Light hazard -- 52000 ft^2(4831 m^2)

• Ordinary hazard --52000ft^2 (4831 m^2)

• Extra hazard 

1. Pipe schedule - 25000 ft^2
2. Hydraulically calculated--40000 ft^2

OS&Y Gate Valve

OS&Y Gate Valve

OS&Y Gate Valve is used to isolating of specific zone of pipes during maintenance .

TEMPER SWITCH

TEMPER SWITCH

Electrical switch installed with the OS&Y gate valve to check the valve position .(Alarm will actuate if the valve got closed).

Test Assembly

Test and drain

• Test position : to check whether the flow is accurate or not .
• Drain Position : To drain the network when needed .
• Inspection through the sight glass which make it visible to check water quality.
