Protection Systems 1 1/2 to 8 Inch (DN40 to DN200)
IMPORTANT
Refer to Technical Data Sheet
TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to
regulatory and health information.
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the “INSTALLER
WARNING” that provides cautions
with respect to handling and instal-
lation of sprinkler systems and com-
ponents. Improper handling and
installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its compo-
nents and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.

8).
The DV-5a valve and associated trim
must be maintained at a minimum tem-
perature of 40°F (4°C).
Heat tracing of the DV-5a valve or its
associated trim is not permitted. Heat
tracing can result in the formation of
hardened mineral deposits that are
capable of preventing proper operation.
Always open the system control valves
slowly to avoid a sudden rush of water
entering the system.
