1. Description
Viking High Pressure (HP) Dry Systems utilize a Viking Model E or Model F Deluge Valve to control the water supply to system piping
equipped with closed sprinklers. The system piping is pressurized with compressed air or nitrogen. A riser check valve is required to
isolate the system air pressure from the outlet chamber of the deluge valve.
High pressure dry systems are commonly used where sprinkler system supply pressures are above 175 psi (12 bar), small systems
where anti-freeze solutions are undesirable and smaller conventional dry pipe valves are not available.

Refer to the technical data describing the individual components used. edition of this Technical Data Page.
4. Installation
Refer to current Viking Technical Data describing individual components of the Viking HP Dry System. Technical Data describing the
Viking Deluge Valve, and other system components are packed with product and in the Viking Engineering Design Data book.
Also, refer to applicable installation standards, codes, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
Important Settings: (Refer to Figures 1 - 12)
1. Provide a minimum or maximum pneumatic air pressure to anti-flood device (E.1) for system water pressures to 250 psi (17.2
bar) maximum.
a. Set release system air pressure supervisory switches to activate at 5 psi less than the set pneumatic supervisory air pressure
on pressure drop.
b. Air supervisory switch should be wired to activate an alarm to signal a “low air” pressure condition. Activation of an alarm to sig-
nal a high pressure condition may be installed. Refer to applicable installation standards and Authority Having Jurisdiction.
2. Alarm Pressure Switch (C.1) should activate when pressurized to 4 to 8 psi (0.27 to 0.55 bar) on pressure rise. Alarm pressure
switch (C.1) should be wired to activate the water flow alarm.
Air Supply Design:
The air supply compressor should be sized to establish total required air pressure in 30 minutes. The air supply must be regulated,
restricted, and maintained automatically. The air supply must be regulated to maintain the pressure desired in the system piping. The
air supply must be restricted to ensure that the automatic air supply cannot replace air as fast as it escapes when a sprinkler on the
system operates.
It is a required practice to provide an inspectors test connection on the system piping. The inspectors test connection should be
equipped with a shut-off valve (normally closed) capable of being opened to simulate the opening of a sprinkler on the system. Locate
the connection and the valve at the highest, most demanding, location of the system piping. Test connections, provided on dry pipe
systems, should terminate in an orifice equal to the smallest orifice sprinkler on the system piping. The inspectors test connection
may be used to verify that the automatic air supply cannot replace air as fast as it escapes when a releasing device operates. Refer to
paragraph 6.A Inspections, Tests and Maintenance.��
5. Operation (Refer to Figures 1 - 12)

In the SET position:
System water supply pressure enters the priming chamber of the deluge valve (A.1) through the ¼” (8 mm) priming line which includes
a normally open priming valve (B.1), strainer (B.2), restricted orifice (B.3), check valve (B.4), pressure operated relief valve (PORV)
(B.10). In the SET position, the water supply pressure is trapped in the priming chamber by check valve (B.4), and anti-flood device
(E.1). The anti-flood device (E.1) is held closed by air pressure maintained on the system riser.
Air pressure is isolated from the deluge valve outlet on 3” systems and above by a Viking Easy Riser® or in-line soft seat check valve.
The pressure in the priming chamber holds the deluge valve (A.1) clapper closed, keeping the outlet chamber and system piping dry.
In Fire Conditions:
In fire conditions, when a Viking sprinkler head operates, pressure in the system piping escapes causing alarms controlled by air
supervisory switch to activate and anti-flood device (E.1) to open. When anti-flood device (E.1) opens, pressure is released from the
priming chamber faster than it is supplied through restricted orifice (B.3). The deluge valve (A.1) clapper opens to allow water to flow
into the system piping and alarm devices, causing the water motor alarm (C.2) and water flow alarms connected to the alarm pressure
switch (C.1) to activate. Water will flow from any open sprinklers on the system.
When the deluge valve operates, the sensing end of the PORV (B.10) is pressurized closed, closing the supply of priming water pres-
sure to the priming chamber. When the PORV (B.10) operates, it positively shuts off the supply of water to the priming chamber to

Dry 132b October 1, 2008

prevent the deluge valve from resetting. Downstream of the discharge outlet, a check valve is installed to isolate the discharge outlet
from system air pressure. When the water from the discharge outlet passes by the check valve, it will enter to air connection to the
system riser.
Trouble Conditions:
In the event of an air supply failure and slow leakage of air from the system piping, alarms connected to the air supervisory switch will
signal a low air pressure condition. Failure to restore air supply to the system will result in operation of the anti-flood device (E.1) and
the deluge valve (A.1) will open. Similarly, if the system piping is damaged due to mechanical damage, the anti-flood device (E.1) will
operate and the deluge valve (A.1) will open. Water will flow from any open sprinklers or piping on the system. The water motor alarm
(C.2) and alarms connected to alarm pressure switch (C.1) will activate.
Manual Operation:
Any time the handle inside the emergency release (B.11) is pulled, pressure is released from the priming chamber; the deluge valve
(A.1) will open. Water will flow into the system piping and from any open sprinklers on the system. Alarm devices (C.1 and C.2) will
operate.
Emergency Instructions: (Refer to figures 1 - 12)
1. To Take System Out of Service:
Warning: Placing a control valve or detection system out of service may eliminate the Fire Protection
capabilities of the system. Prior to proceeding, notify all Authorities Having Jurisdiction. Consideration
should be given to employment of a Fire Patrol in the affected areas.
After a fire, verify that the fire is OUT and that placing the system out of service has been authorized by the appropriate Authority Hav-
ing Jurisdiction.
a. Close the water supply valve (D.1).
b. Open the auxiliary drain (B.6).
c. Silence alarms (optional)
i. To silence electric alarms controlled by pressure switch (C.1) and to silence water motor alarm (C.2), close the alarm
shut-off valve (B.9).
Note: Electric alarms controlled in the ½” (15 mm) NPT connection for a Non-interruptible Alarm Pressure
Switch cannot be shut off until the Deluge Valve (A.1) is reset or taken out of service.
d. Shut off the air supply.
e. Close the priming valve (B.1).
Sprinkler systems that have been subjected to a fire must be returned to service as soon as possible. The
entire system must be inspected for damage, and repaired or replaced as necessary.
f. Replace any sprinkler heads that have operated.
g. Perform all maintenance procedures recommended in Technical Data describing individual components of the system that
has operated.
h. Return the system to service as soon as possible. Refer to 2: PLACING THE SYSTEM IN SERVICE.
2. Placing the System In Service:
a. Verify that the system has been properly drained. The auxiliary drain (B.6) should be open. Verify that the emergency release
(B.11) is closed. The priming valve (B.1) should be closed. Open the sprinkler system main drain (D.3). Once sprinkler piping
is drained, close the system drain (D.3).
b. Restore pneumatic pressure to the system piping. Maintain as required to the anti-flood device (E.1). Refer to item 4.
Important Settings.
c. Open the priming valve (B.1). Water pressure should be present on priming water gauge (B.12).
d. Open the flow test valve (B.15).
e. Partially open the main water supply control valve (D.1).

system. For minimum maintenance and inspection requirements, refer to NFPA 25 for Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water
Based Systems. In addition, the Authority Having Jurisdiction may have additional maintenance, testing, and inspection requirements
that must be followed.
Warning: Any system maintenance taht involves placing a control valve or detection system out of service
may eliminate the fire protection capabilities of that system. Prior to proceeding, notify all Authorities
Having Jurisdiction. Consideration should be given to employment of a fire patrol in the affected areas.
B. Tests
To test Sprinkler system “Low Air” Alarm:
1. To prevent operation of the deluge valve and system piping filling with water during the test, close main water supply control
valve (D.1).
2. Fully open inspectors test valve to simulate operation of a sprinkler head.
3. Verify that low air alarms operate within an acceptable time period and continue without interruption.
4. Close the inspectors test valve.
5. Close the priming valve (B.1).
6. Establish recommended pneumatic pressure to be maintained on system piping. Refer to paragraph 6: INSTALLATION.
7. Alarms should stop.
8. Open the priming valve (B.1).
