Johnson Controls, the provider of smart, healthy, and sustainable buildings, introduces the Tyco RM-2 Riser Manifold with Model TD-2 Test and Drain Valve. The UL and UL-C Listed, FM Approved system simplifies installation, testing, and operation for fire protection contractors by providing all the necessary components in a pre-assembled compact unit, including a unique linear shut-off function offering the ultimate sealing design.
The RM-2 Riser Manifold is intended for use with wet pipe sprinkler systems and is ideal for commercial buildings with a small footprint, including new construction and retrofit.
Maintaining system pressure
The linear shut-off function reduces leakage over time due to debris in media
The included Tyco Model TD-2 Test and Drain Valve with adjustable pressure relief simplifies operations for contractors and their customers such as water flow alarm device testing and feed main draining. The linear shut-off function reduces leakage over time due to debris in media. Thanks to its plunger-style valve, the durable TD-2 stands up to the wear and tear that typically leads to leaks.
The integrated pressure relief valve automatically bleeds system pressure exceeding 175 psi (12,1 bar) to the manifold drain to maintain proper system pressure. The TD-2 Test and Drain Valve also features test orifices equivalent to that of a 2.8K and 4.2K orifice sprinkler and is available in both 1.25-inch and 2-inch sizes.
Easy transition arrangement
“This ready-to-install, compact valve riser manifold unit provides customers with a fully-integrated solution that saves time and money on the front end while increasing dependability with the ultimate sealing design,” said Gijsbert Van Rooijen, product manager, Johnson Controls. “With a range of sizes from two inches through six inches, the RM-2 provides a cost-effective and easy transition arrangement to control valves and system piping.”
The RM-2 Riser Manifold features all the necessary alarms, pressure gauges, and check valve equipment to fully comply with NFPA 13 standards. The manifold may be installed horizontally or vertically for both single sprinkler rises and floor control in high rises. Additionally, all components can be rotated at the coupling joints to customize the product orientation for optimal installation.
