Electric Actuation Trim
Electric Actuation trim (see Figures 10 and 11) combines a
normally closed/powered-open solenoid valve with the Wet Pilot
Trim for releasing the Deluge Valve. The solenoid valve used in
the assembly is available in both a 175 psi (12,1 bar) or 300 psi
(20,7 bar) rating. Details on the electrical portion of this trim can
be found in Reliable Bulletin 700, which describes Deluge and
Preaction Systems.
Caution: Repairs or disassembly of the solenoid valve
should only be done by a trained technician. An improp-
erly repaired or partially assembled solenoid valve could
result in failure of the valve to operate.
Electric Actuation Trim installation on Model DDX Deluge
Valves uses eight tapped openings for trim connections. Each
opening and its function are indicated on Fig. 10 or Fig. 11. Us-
ing Fig. 10 or Fig. 11 as reference, the recommended trim instal-
lation is as follows:
1. Install ½” nipple (#35, Fig. 10 or #39, Fig. 11) in tapped
opening marked “TEST.” Note: If interference occurs
between the supply gauge and the control valve, the
1/4” plug (#50, Fig. 10 or #52, Fig. 11) in the open-
ing marked “SUPPLY” may be swapped with: the
1/4” nipple (#32, Fig. 10), angle valve (#10, Fig. 10)
and gauge (#63, Fig. 10) for the 2” (50mm), 2-1/2”
(65mm), 76mm and 3” (80mm) valve sizes; 1/4” nip-

3-way valve (#63, Fig. 11) and the gauge (#64, Fig.
11) for the 8” (200mm) valve size, in the trim installed
in the opening marked “TEST”.
4. Install ½” nipple (#34, Fig. 10 or #36, Fig. 11) in tapped
opening marked “OUT” and connect balance of this
trim line.
5. Install ¼” inline check valve (#16, Fig. 10 or #15, Fig. 11)
in tapped opening marked “IN” and connect balance of
this trim line. Supply line must be connected to the inlet
of the control valve for each Deluge Valve as shown.
Caution: Over tightening check valve can cause a re-
striction in flow that may prevent the valve from “setting

SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: THE OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM IN PROPER
OPERATING CONDITION. ANY SYSTEM MAINTENANCE OR TESTING THAT INVOLVES PLACING A CON-
TROL VALVE OR DETECTION SYSTEM OUT OF SERVICE MAY ELIMINATE THE FIRE PROTECTION OF THAT
SYSTEM. PRIOR TO PROCEEDING, NOTIFY ALL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION. CONSIDERATION
SHOULD BE GIVEN TO EMPLOYMENT OF A FIRE PATROL IN THE AFFECTED AREA.
WARNING: PRIOR TO OPERATING THE SOLENOID VALVE, BE SURE TO CLOSE THE SYSTEM CONTROL
VALVE TO AVOID UNINTENTIONAL OPERATION OF THE DELUGE VALVE
1. Inspections: It is imperative that the system be inspected and tested in accordance with NFPA 25 on a regular
basis. The frequency of the inspections may vary due to contaminated water supplies, corrosive water supplies,
or corrosive atmospheres. In addition, the alarm devices, detection systems, or other connected trim may require
a more frequent schedule. Refer to the system description and applicable codes for minimum requirements.
2. The valve must be inspected at least monthly for cracks, corrosion, leakage, etc., and cleaned, repaired, or re-
placed, or replaced as necessary.
3. If Leakage is suspected through the solenoid valve, the valve diaphragms and seat should be inspected and if
necessary, repaired or replaced.
WARNING: CLOSE SYSTEM CONTROL VALVE, TURN OFF POWER SUPPLY, AND DEPRESSURIZE VALVE
BEFORE DISASSEMBLING VALVE. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE VALVE FROM THE PIPE LINE
TO MAKE INSPECTIONS.
4. When lubricating valve components, use high grade silicone grease (Dow Corning® 111 Compound Lubricant or
equal).
5. When reassembling, tighten parts to torque values indicated in the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions
(packed with valve).
6. After maintenance is completed, operate the valve a few times to be sure of proper operation. A metallic “click”
signifies the solenoid is operating.
7. All service must be performed by qualified personnel. Upon completion of inspections or replacement of the valve,
the entire system must be checked for proper operation. See appropriate system description and testing instruc-
tions for additional information.
The equipment presented in this bulletin is to be installed in accordance with the latest published Standards of the National Fire Protection Association, Factory
