20、as an indicating control valve in a sprinkler system. 1.2 The valves covered by these requirements are intended for use in: a) Standpipe systems installed in accordance with the Standard for Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems, NFPA 14; or b) Sprinkler systems installed in accordance with the

21、 Standard for Installation of Sprinkler Systems, NFPA 13. 1.3 The valves covered by these requirements are intended to be inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with the Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems, NFPA 25. 1.4 Direct-acting p

22、ressure-reducing and pressure restricting valves covered by these requirements include the following patterns and sizes: a) Angle Patterns for Standpipe Use Inlet and outlet openings having nominal diameters of 1, 1-1/2, 2-1/2, or 3 NPS. b) Angle Patterns for Sprinkler Systems Sizes greater than 1 N

23、PS. c) Straightway Pattern for Standpipe Use Inlet and outlet openings having nominal diameters of 1, 1-1/2, 2-1/2, or 3 NPS. d) Straightway Patterns for Sprinkler Systems Sizes greater than 1 NPS. 2 Components 2.1 Except as indicated in 2.2, a component of a product covered by this standard shall c

24、omply with the requirements for that component. See Appendix A for a list of standards covering components generally used in the products covered by this standard. 2.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the ap

25、plication of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. MAY 9, 2016 UL 1468 5UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 2.3 A component shall be used in accordance with

26、its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall

27、 be used only under those specic conditions. 3 Units of Measurements 3.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 4 Undated References 4.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this

28、 standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 5 Glossary 5.1 For the purpose of this standard, the following denitions apply. 5.2 NPS (NOMINAL PIPE SIZE) A dimensionless designator for pipe sizes dened in standards including Standard Specication for Pipe

29、, Steel, Black and Hot-Dipped, Zinc-Coated, Welded and Seamless, ASTM A53/A53M, Standard Specication for Electric-Resistance-Welded Steel Pipe, ASTM A135/A135M, and Standard Specication for Black and Hot-Dipped Zinc-Coated (Galvanized) Welded and Seamless Steel Pipe for Fire Protection Use, ASTM A79

30、5/A795M used to replace terms such as Nominal Diameter and Nominal Size . 5.3 PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE A valve intended to reduce the downstream water pressure under both owing (residual) and non-owing (static) conditions. 5.4 PRESSURE RESTRICTING VALVE A valve or device intended to reduce downstream

31、 water pressure under owing (residual) conditions only and for use on standpipe outlets only. 5.5 REFERENCED SETTING(S) A location(s) for setting the valve as referenced in the manufacturers installation and operating instructions and for which performance characteristics are provided. 5.6 RESIDUAL

32、PRESSURE For standpipe and sprinkler systems, pressure acting on a point in the system under owing conditions. 5.7 STATIC PRESSURE For standpipe and sprinkler systems, pressure acting on a point in the system under no ow conditions.

The indicator shall be visible f

34、rom two positions, 180 degrees apart at a distance of 50 feet (15.24 m). Exception: The indicator is required to only be visible from one location if the indicator can be adjusted to a point of maximum visibility when the valve is installed. 7 End Connections 7.1 An inlet for a valve shall be: a) Of

35、 female pipe threads complying with the requirements in the Standard for Pipe Threads, General Purpose Inch, ANSI/ASME B1.20.1; or b) Of pipe threads complying with national pipe thread standards that apply where the valve is intended to be installed; or c) Grooved end complying with the Standard fo

36、r Grooved and Shouldered Joints, ANSI/AWWA C606. 7.2 The outlet of a valve intended for standpipe use shall be threaded in accordance with the Standard for Fire Hose Connections, NFPA 1963, unless specically constructed to t existing equipment. The outlet shall be provided with at least four full th

37、reads. Outlets of a valve intended for stand pipe use shall be permitted to use threads complying with a specication where the valve is intended to be installed. 7.3 The outer end of threads other than taper pipe threads see the Standard for Pipe Threads, General Purpose (Inch), ANSI/ASME B20.1 shal

38、l be terminated by the Higbee Cut to facilitate coupling and to reduce the likelihood of cross threading. 7.4 Outlets shall be permitted to have a grooved end complying with the Standard for Grooved and Shouldered Joints, ANSI/AWWA C606.
