Approvals

1.  Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Listed and Certified for 

Canada* (cULus) as an assembled unit in the “Special 
System Water Control Valves Assembled Units” category, 
(VKYL).

2.  Factory Mutual (FM) Approved, as PrePak Single Interlock 

and Double Interlock Preaction Systems.

Electrical devices and control panel must be specified 

to meet Canadian requirements.  This option is avail-
able.

3.  Approved for use in New York City based on UL Listing.

 

Note: 

 Although PrePak units are UL Listed, custom built units 

are sometimes supplied upon request.  The components within 
these special units maintain their individual Listings/Approvals, 
whereas the assembled units do not.

PrePak units are also available without their door-mounted Pot-

ter PFC-4410-RC Releasing/ Control Panel and Air Compressor. 
These units will still retain their Listings/Approvals, however the 
installing contractor should make sure that any remote controlled 
Releasing/Control Panels used with these units are Listed/Ap-
proved and programmed to handle the required sequence of 
operation necessary to operate the automatic sprinkler system.  
Any unauthorized modification or addition made on-site to a 
factory-built Listed/Approved unit will void the Listing/Approval.  
Such modifications or additions may void the unit’s warranty as 
well. Consult Reliable’s Technical Services Department before 
proceeding with any such modifications or additions.

Technical Data

1.  The Reliable Model DDX 4” (100 mm), 6” (150 mm) and 8” 

(200mm) PrePaKs are rated for a minimum supply pres-
sure of 20 psi (1.4 bar) and a maximum supply pressure of 
250 psi (17.2 bar).  Note: 1 bar = 100 kPa.

2.  Friction loss, expressed in equivalent length of Schedule 40 

pipe and based on Hazen-Williams Formula with C=120 
and a flowing velocity of 15 ft/s (4.6 m/s), is:

54.7 ft (21.8 m)  

8” (200mm)

79.3ft (24.2m)

These values account for the Model DDX  valve, supply 
manifold tee, butterfly control valve, and small pipe/mani-
fold located directly above Model DDX valve.
