4.

2.  A minimum of two (2) detectors must be installed for each zone 

in the protected area.

3.  Only Class A method of wiring detectors shall be used.
For Double-Interlock Preaction Systems: 
1.  Are required for freezer or refrigerated room applications, or 

where conditions will allow water to freeze in the system piping 
prior to sprinkler actuation.

2.  Cross-zoning of preaction system detectors is prohibited, ex-

cept where used as a secondary system to a gaseous sup-
pression system.

3.  A minimum of two (2) detectors must be installed for each zone 

in the protected area.

4.  Only Class A method of wiring detectors shall be used.

Electrical devices and control panel must be specified to 

meet  Canadian requirements.  This option is available. 

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, whereas the assem-
bled units do not.

PrePak units are also available without their door-mounted Potter 

PFC-4410-RC Releasing/Control Panel and Air Compressor.  These 
units will still retain their Listings, however the installing contractor 
should make sure that any remote controlled Releasing/Control Pan-
els used with these units are Listed 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 fac-

tory built Listed unit will void the Listing.  Such modifications or addi-
tions may void the units warranty as well.  Consult Reliable’s Techni-
cal Services Department before proceeding with such modifications 
or additions.

Technical Data 

The Reliable Model H 1½” (40mm) PrePaK is rated for a minimum 

supply pressure of 20 psi (1.4 bar) and a maximum supply pressure 
of 175 psi (12 bar). 

Friction loss, expressed in equivalent length of Sch. 40 pipe and 

based on Hazen-Williams formula with C=120 and a flowing velocity 
of 15 ft/s (4.6m/s), is 36 ft. (11m).  This friction loss value includes all 
components of the Model H Riser Assembly and Model G Right-
Check™ Check Valve.

System Design Considerations 

The automatic sprinklers, releasing devices, fire detection devices, 

manual pull stations, and signaling devices which are utilized with 
the Reliable Model H 1½” (40mm) PrePaK must be UL and/or ULC 
Listed, as applicable. 

The steel enclosure and all interconnecting piping must be locat-

ed in a readily visible and accessible location and in an area that can 
be maintained at a minimum temperature of 40°F (4°C). 

Note:

 Heat 

tracing is not permitted.

The solenoid valve is operated and supervised by the Potter Elec-

tric Releasing Control Panel.  Details on the electrical connections of 
this system to a Potter Model PFC-4410-RC Releasing Control Panel 
can by found in Potter Manual #5403550, Installation, Operation and 
Instruction of PFC-4410 Fire Alarm/Releasing Panel (this manual is 
included with other pertinent manuals and shipped inside the enclo-
sure).  This panel is fully zone and output programmable and may 
be adapted to several applications.  The following table provides a 
quick reference to various programs (found in this Bulletin and Potter 
Manual #5403550) that may be utilized with the Model H PrePaK:

System Supervising Pressure Requirements 

In accordance with NFPA 13 (1996), when using the Reliable 

Model H 1½” (40mm) PrePaK in double interlock applications, a 
minimum of 7 psi (0,5 bar) pneumatic pressure is required to super-
vise the sprinkler system. When initially filling the system with air, the 
enclosure door should remain open to provide maximum air flow 
to the compressor.  The Model A-2 Pressure Maintenance Device, 
supplied with the system, is factory set to maintain system pneu-
matic pressure at approximately 10 psi (0.7 bar).  

Readjusting system pressure to approximately 10 psi (0.7 bar) is 

accomplished by referring to Reliable Bulletin 251 for adjustment 
procedure.  The low pneumatic pressure supervisory switch is 
factory set to operate between 8 and 4 psi (0.6 bar to 0.3 bar) with 
decreasing pressure.  Adjustment, if required, should be made ac-
cording to Potter Bulletin 5400928 included with the switch.

System Electrical Requirements 

All releasing, alarm, and detection devices in the Reliable Model H 

1½” (40mm) PrePaK are supervised by a Potter Model PFC-4410-
RC Releasing Control Panel.  To utilize the door of the steel enclosure 
as a mount for the releasing control panel, all of the terminals are 
translated to two water-tight terminal boxes mounted on the interior 
wall of the enclosure.  

Note:

  The EOL resistors have also been relo-

cated.  It is from these terminal boxes that all field wiring is connect-
