General
Description
The TYCO RAPID RESPONSE Model
RSV-1 Residential Shut-Off Valves are
intended for use in dual-purpose resi-
dential water supply piping that serves
both domestic and residential fi re pro-
tection sprinkler system needs. The 1
Inch (DN25) Valve is intended for NFPA
13D system needs, whereas the 2 Inch
(DN50) Valve is intended for systems
designed in accordance with either
NFPA 13, 13D, or 13R.
When a fi re sprinkler operates, the
Model RSV-1 Residential Shut-Off
Valve automatically diverts the avail-
able water supply to the fi re sprin-
kler system. Consequently, when the
Model RSV-1 Valve is utilized, the
system designer does not need to
add the domestic fl ow demand to the
fi re sprinkler system fl ow demand, as
would otherwise be required by NFPA
13D or 13R.
Consider use of the Model RSV-1 Res-
idential Shut-Off Valve when either
the water supply cannot adequately
provide for both the domestic design
demand and the fire sprinkler flow
demand, or it is necessary to increase
the effectiveness of the fi re sprinkler
system by automatically diverting the
domestic fl ow.
The Model RSV-1 Residential Shut-
Off Valve maximizes the effective use
of an existing water supply. There-
fore, in areas with limited water sup-
plies, it may eliminate the need to add
costly pumps, pressurized reservoirs,
or electrically operated domestic shut-
off valves. The Model RSV-1 Valve has
a built-in check valve in the fi re sprin-
kler system outlet that eliminates the
need for a separate check valve. Also,
the Model RSV-1 Valve automatically
resets, thereby eliminating the need for
valve disassembly after a fi re sprinkler
system test or operation.
NOTICE
The Model RSV-1 Residential Shut-
Off Valves described herein must be
installed and maintained in compliance
with this document, as well as with the
applicable standards of the National
Fire Protection Association, in addi-
tion to the standards of any authorities

impair the integrity of this device.
The owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.
