ual (fl owing)  pressure  available  to  the 
fi re sprinkler system.

For operation of the Model RSV-1 Resi-
dential Shut-Off Valve, you need only 
design the fi re sprinkler system from 
the water supply main to the most 
hydraulically remote sprinkler. Domes-
tic fl ow does not require consideration. 
As long as the single sprinkler fl ow  is 
equal to or greater than 12.5 GPM (47,3 
LPM) for the 1 Inch Valve or 8 GPM 
(30,5 LPM) for the 2 Inch Valve when 
the supply pressure at the main is at 
its minimum expected value, the Model 
RSV-1 Valve automatically diverts the 
domestic fl ow.

After the Piston Assembly has moved 
to the full up position, only a small 
amount of water is permitted to trickle 
through the Internal By-Pass Restric-
tion to the Domestic Port (Ref. Figures 
4 and 5). The trickle fl ow through the 
Internal By-Pass Restriction permits 
the Model RSV-1 Valve to reset auto-
matically after a sprinkler operation or 
test without draining the fi re  sprinkler 
system.

When the Domestic Control Valve is 
closed, the Internal By-Pass Restriction 
allows the Supply and Domestic Port 
pressures to equalize and the Piston 
Assembly to move back down to the 
standby position.

When using the 1 inch RSV-1, the 
maximum fl ow rate through the Internal 
By-Pass Restriction, when the Model 
RSV-1 Valve is in the operated position, 
is no greater than .25 GPM (0,9 LPM) 
for a typical residual (fl owing) pressure 
of 40 psi (2,8 bar) at the inlet. Conse-
quently, when performing hydraulic 
design calculations for the fi re sprinkler 
system, you do not need to consider 
trickle fl ow through the Model RSV-1 
Valve Internal By-Pass Restriction into 
the domestic system.

When using the 2 inch RSV-1, the 
maximum fl ow rate through the Internal 
By-Pass Restriction, when the Model 
RSV-1 Valve is in the operated position, 
is no greater than 1.5 GPM (5,7 LPM) 
for a typical residual (fl owing) pressure 
of 40 psi (2,8 bar) at the inlet. Conse-
quently, when performing hydraulic 
design calculations for the fi re sprin-
kler system, a 1.5 GPM (5,7 LPM) fl ow 
demand  is  required  to  be  added  at 
the RSV-1 and calculated back to the 
source.
