4.10 OPTIONAL SHUT-OFF VALVE AND SIGHT GLASS
The shut-off valve & sight glass option is intended to be
used for applications where testing of the system operation
without filling the sprinkler piping network is desirable and

Inspection of the system can be implemented without filling
the sprinkler piping system with water.
1. CLOSE the shut-off valve
(D4)
.
2. OPEN the main drain valve
(D3)
.
3. Simulate
the
operation
of the system to open the
deluge valve
(A1)
(refer to chapter
4.8.6 ANNUAL

sight glass assembly
(D5)
.

valve
(D3)
is completely CLOSED. Reset the system
(refer to chapter 4.6 PLACING THE SYSTEM BACK IN
