1 Worldwide Contacts Model TJP Resilient-Seated Gate Valves with Vertical or Cross Wall Post Indicator General Description TYCO Model TJP Resilient-Seated Gate Valves with Vertical and Cross Wall Indicators are used in fire protection systems for on/off operation. End connection configurations including Flange by Flange, Flange by Groove, and Groove by Groove are available. The ductile iron body weighs approximately 50% less than conventional cast iron valves, which allows easier handling on site and reduced shipping costs. The fully encapsulated EPDM ductile iron wedge ensures drop-tight sealing. Valve components are either inherently corrosion-resistant or protected with fusion-bonded epoxy resin coating for a long, reliable service life and enhanced UV protection in exposed installations. This valve is one of the lightest, most durable gate valves on the market today. Its design features and material selection criteria fulfill the need for a reliable, long life and easy to operate gate valve. These valves are available with either Vertical Indicators for underground water supplies or Cross Wall Indicators for interior water systems. Both indicators provide external visual indication of the open or shut valve condition as well as a locking mechanism to secure a particular wedge position. NOTICE Never remove any piping component nor correct or modify any piping deficiencies without first de-pressurizing and draining the system. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury, property damage, and/or impaired device performance. It is the designer s responsibility to select products suitable for the intended service and to ensure that pressure ratings and performance data are not exceeded. Material and gasket selection should be verified for compatibility with the specific application. Always read and understand the installation instructions. TYCO Gate Valves described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this document, in addition to the standards of any other authorities having jurisdiction. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury or impair the performance of these devices. The owner is responsible for maintaining their mechanical system and devices in proper operating condition. The installing contractor or device manufacturer should be contacted with any questions.

Before closing a fire protection system main control valve for maintenance work on the fire protection system that it controls, permission to shut down the affected fire protection system must be obtained for the proper authorities and notify all personnel who may be affected by this action. After placing a fire protection system in service, notify the proper authorities and advise those responsible for monitoring proprietary and/or central station alarms. The owner is responsible for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of their fire protection system and devices in compliance with this document, as well as with the applicable standards of the National Fire Protection Association for example, NFPA 25 in addition to the standards of any authorities having jurisdiction. Contact the installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer regarding any questions. Automatic sprinkler systems are recommended to be inspected, tested, and maintained by a qualified inspection service in accordance with local requirements and/or national codes. Gate Valve Debris lodged in the sealing area of the wedge may cause the valve to close hard. Backing off the indicator wrench or handwheel and closing it again, several times if necessary, can correct this problem. The valve should never be forced to seat by applying a wrench or extension to the lever, as it may distort the valve components or score the sealing surfaces. All replacement parts must be obtained from the manufacturer to assure proper operation of the valve. Vertical Indicator Post It is recommended that Vertical Indicator Posts used to operate fire protection system water control valves be locked in the fully open position using the wrench. The locks must be sturdy and resistant to breakage except by heavy bolt cutters. It is recommended that a visual inspection be carried out on a monthly basis to ensure: the Post Cap, Upper Barrel, and windows have not been damaged the Targets indicate that the valve is open the Wrench is in place on the Post and is securely locked It is further recommended that on a quarterly basis, the Vertical Indicator Post should be closed two turns and then reopened to verify that the PIV is in the fully open position and properly engages with the Post. Where a Supervisory Switch is installed, a check should be undertaken to ensure that the contacts are working properly. Any missing or damaged parts should be immediately replaced. Cross Wall Indicator Post It is recommended that Cross Wall Indicator Posts used to operate fire protection system water control valves be locked in the fully open position using the Handwheel. The locks must be sturdy and resistant to breakage except by heavy bolt cutters. It is recommended that a visual inspection be carried out on a monthly basis to ensure: the Post body, Handwheel, and windows have not been damaged the Targets indicate that the valve is open the Post is properly locked open It is further recommended that on a quarterly basis, the Cross Wall Indicator Post should be closed two turns and then reopened to verify that the PIV is in the fully open position and properly engages with the Post and that the Supervisory Switch contacts are working properly. Any damaged parts should be immediately replaced.
