by Rebecca Walker — April 15, 2009—Viking Corporation, a global leader in fire protection products and services, has launched the G-4000P line of preaction systems. Built around Viking’s G-series deluge valve, the Model G-4000P is available in single and double interlock configurations as well as Viking’s exclusive SureFire fail safe preaction system, says the company.
These new preaction systems offer design and installation advantages including simplified trim, reduced weight and a compact size, notes the company. Each system is factory-tested and pre-assembled with complete preaction trim assembled to the deluge valve. The water supply control valve, switches, and a drain connection are also included. Additionally, a grooved section of galvanized piping is installed on top of the deluge valve to facilitate installation and service.
The new G-series deluge valve’s design includes an internal check valve, eliminating the need for a separate check valve in the system riser. Coated with a durable black E-coat, the new deluge valve has a pressure rating of 250 PSI (17.2 bar).
