BUTTERFLY VALVES — 2” (DN50) thru 10” (DN250)SERIES 7700FP GROOVED END — 175 PSI (12,1 bar)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Series 7700FP Grooved End But-terfly Valves (Ref.Figure A) are indicat-ing type valves designed for use in fireprotection systems, where a visual in-dication is required as to whether thevalve is open or closed. They are used,for example, as system, sectional, andpump water control valves. They havecut groove inlet and outlet connectionswhich are suitable for use with groovedend pipe couplings that are listed orapproved for fire protection systemservice.

The Series 7700FP Butterfly Valvesfeature a spherical bore disc seat areawhich facilitates a constant disc to seatloading. This maintains a leaktightstem seal regardless of disc position(open to closed). Use of the sphericalbore also enables the use of a narrowprofile disc, with tapered leadingedges, which provides minimal flowturbulence through the valve and re-duced friction loss.

For applications requiring supervisionof the open position of the valve, theGear Operators for the Series 7700FPButterfly Valves are available with twosets of factory installed internalswitches each having SPDT contacts.

The Gear Operator is also availablewithout internal switches, in whichcase, the Gear Operator will acceptdirect attachment of a field installedexternal supervisory control valveswitch, which has two sets of SPDTcontacts. Information on the internalswitches, as well as the externallymounted, Model PCVS-2 SupervisoryControl Valve Switch, is given in theTechnical Data section.

APPROVALS AND STANDARDS

The Series 7700FP Grooved End But-terfly Valves are listed and approvedas indicated in Table A, as well asaccepted by the City of New York underMEA 349-93-E.

In addition, the Series 7700FP Valveswith internal supervisory switches arelisted by the California State Fire Mar-shal under Listing No. 7770-0090.104.

The factory installed SPDT internal

switches are listed by UnderwritersLaboratories Inc.as “Supervisory Tam-per Switches” when the normally opencontacts (for valve full open) are usedfor connection to the supervisory cir-cuit of an alarm control panel or indi-cating device.

The Model PCVS-2 Supervisory Con-trol Valve Switch is listed by Underwrit-ers Laboratories Inc. and Underwrit-ers’ Laboratories of Canada. It isapproved by the Factory Mutual Re-search Corporation. The listings andapproval are under the name of PotterElectric Signal Company.

WARNINGThe Series 7700FP Grooved End But-terfly Valves described herein must beinstalled and maintained in compli-ance with this document, as well aswith the applicable standards of theNational Fire Protection Association,in addition to the standards of anyother authorities having jurisdiction.Failure to do so may impair the integ-rity of these devices.

The owner is responsible for main-taining their fire protection system

and devices in proper operating con-dition. The installing contractor ormanufacturer should be contactedrelative to any questions.

Removing or disabling the tamper re-sistant fasteners used to secure eitherthe cover of a Gear Operator with in-ternal switches or the cover of theModel PCVS-2 Supervisory ControlValve Switch will void the applicablelistings and approval.

The GG-4 andGG-8 Gear Operators are lifetime in-ternally lubricated and are mounteddirectly to the valve flange with platedsteel fasteners. The cast gray ironhousings are weather resistant, andthe Handwheels as well as IndicatorFlags of each type Gear Operator areof cast gray iron construction.

Supervisory Switches:The Series 7700FP is available with orwithout internal supervisory switchesfor supervising the Valve in the openposition. The internal switches are onlyavailable as factory installed originalequipment.

—Internal—Figure E illustrates the general ar-rangement of the two internalswitches, as well as the color codingfor the wire leads. When provided withinternal switches, the covers of boththe GG-4 and GG-8 Gear Operatorsare secured with tamper resistant boltsand nuts. The electrical ratings for theswitch contacts are UL Listed and FMApproved as follows:

125/250 VAC . . . 10.00 Amps125 VDC . . . . . . 0.50 Amps250 VDC . . . . . . 0.25 Amps

Both of the switches in the GG-4 and

the GG-8 Gear Operators are providedwith double wire leads to accommo-date “in and out” supervision of thenormally open contacts (for valve fullopen) per NFPA 13 and 72.

—External—The Series 7700FP, when orderedwithout factory installed internal su-pervisory switches, will accept directattachment of a field installed, exter-nally mounted, supervisory controlvalve switch for supervising the Valvein the open position. Figure F illus-trates attachment of the Model PCVS-2 Supervisory Control Valve Switch.

The PCVS-2 has two switches withSPDT (Form C) contacts. The set ofcontacts that are in the normally openposition, when the valve is full open,can be used to provide supervision ofthe open position of the valve perNFPA 13 and 72. Screw type wiringterminals, which accommodate “in andout” electrical supervision to the switchcontacts, are marked as to their COM,NO or NC designation. Each set ofcontacts is rated as follows:

Inspection:It is recommended that fire protectionsystem water control valves be:

1. Chain locked in the fully-open posi-tion using the Handwheel.Locks andchains must be sturdy and resistant

to breakage except by heavy boltcutters.

2. Wire or strap sealed, if not locked, inthe fully-open position. Inquire withthe applicable insurance authorityfor their requirements as to the typeof seal.

3 Periodically (once a week for sealedvalves and once a month for locked

or electrically supervised valves),visually inspected with the followingitems checked:

• The valves are readily accessi-ble.

• The valves are in good conditionand do not leak.

• The valves are properly lockedor sealed in the full open posi-tion.

• The key to a locked valve is read-ily accessible to the individualsresponsible for sprinkler systemmaintenance, as well as watch-men.

4. The valve should also be physicallytried (i.e., completely closed andthen fully opened), if there are anydamaged parts, sign of tampering,or the position of the valve is ques-tionable.

Impaired valves must be immedi-ately replaced.
