WARNING
Read and understand all instructions before attempting to install any Victaulic products. Depressurize and drain the piping system before attempting to install, remove, adjust, or maintain any Victaulic products. Wear safety glasses, hardhat, and foot protection when working with Victaulic piping products. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

INSTALLATION OF THE SERIES 247
The Series 247 FireLock Residential Zone Control Riser Module includes the module body, a UL or ULC Listed and FM Approved waterflow detector, a pressure gauge with shutoff valve (provision for draining), and an alarm test module available with different orifice sizes (K-factors). In addition, an optional pressure relief valve kit is available. Refer to the Installation of the Optional Pressure Relief Valve Kit section. NOTE CONCERNING WATERFLOW DETECTOR INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS VERSUS RISER MANIFOLDS, AS STATED FROM THE WATERFLOW DETECTOR MANUFACTURER: The section Installation Guidelines suggests mounting the detector at least 6 inches/152 mm from a fitting that changes the direction of water flow and no less than 24 inches/610 mm from a valve or drain. This is a general statement that is superseded when a riser manifold assembly is listed or approved by agencies such as UL and/or FM. The agency approval takes precedence because this configuration has been tested and its operation validated. 1. Install the Series 247 into the system using Victaulic couplings for grooved-end pipe. Always refer to the instructions, supplied with the coupling, for complete installation requirements. For the NPT threaded drain outlet, follow standard piping practices to make the threaded connection. NOTE: The nominal drain size is 1 inch/25 mm. The drawings, shown on page 2, provide examples of alternative ways to make the threaded drain connection with a street elbow to avoid interference with couplings on the water supply side and sprinkler distribution side of the module body. Apply thread sealant to the threads of the pressure gauge. Install the pressure gauge into the module body, as shown in the drawing above. Make sure the face of the gauge is visible. Connect the water-flow detector to the alarm system in accordance with the instructions supplied. To install the optional pressure relief valve, follow the instructions in the Installation of the Optional Pressure Relief Valve Kit section. Perform the system flow test, as outlined in the System Flow Test section.

NOTICE
The Series 247 can be installed in either the horizontal (left-to-right or right-to-left flow) or vertical (up) position. The flow direction arrow MUST point toward the sprinkler distribution, as shown in the drawing above.

SERIES 247
EXAMPLES OF ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO MAKE THE THREADED DRAIN CONNECTION

The following drawings provide examples of alternative ways to make the threaded drain connection to avoid interference with couplings on the water supply side and sprinkler distribution side of the module body. NOTE: These graphics show the Series 247 installed with the optional pressure relief valve kit.
When installing a street elbow directly into the drain, the street elbow must be threaded into the drain before the Series 247 is installed into the system with grooved pipe and grooved pipe couplings.
If the Series 247 was installed in the system before the connection to the drain was made, install a close nipple and a straight coupling before installing the street elbow.
SYSTEM FLOW TEST
WARNING
DO NOT operate the Test/Drain Valve under pressure. Make sure the Shutoff Valve is in the Closed position before operating the Test/Drain Valve. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury and property damage.
Notify the authority having jurisdiction, remote station alarm monitors, and anyone in the affected area that the system flow test is being conducted. 1. Before performing the system flow test, confirm that all valves are in their normal operating positions (Shutoff Valve in Closed position, Test/Drain Valve in Drain position, and pressure gauge shutoff valve in Open position). Turn the thumb screw on the handle of the Test/Drain Valve counterclockwise. Place the handle of the Test/Drain Valve in the Test position.
3. 4. 5. 6.
Place the Shutoff Valve in the Open position. Verify that the water-flow detector is operating properly and that the alarms have sounded. When the system flow test is complete, place the Shutoff valve in the Closed position. Place the Test/Drain Valve back to the Drain position. Handtighten the thumb screw on the handle.

Make sure all instructions in the Installation of the Series 247 section have been followed. Remove the plugs from the drain port and the pressure relief valve port. Refer to the drawings above. Apply thread sealant to the threads of the close nipple and pressure relief valve. Install the close nipple into the drain port, as shown above. Install the pressure relief valve into the pressure relief valve port, as shown above. Connect the drain tubing from the drain ports close nipple to the pressure relief valve using the barbed fittings and hose clamps provided. Follow all steps in the System Flow Test section.
CAUTION
There must be NO shutoff valves between the Series 247 with pressure relief valve and the building drain. The pressure relief valve MUST be unrestricted in order to discharge to the drain. Failure to follow these instructions could result in improper operation.
The following instructions apply to a Series 247 with pressure relief valve installed in either the horizontal (left-to-right or right-to-left flow) or vertical (up) position. The pressure relief valve is rated to 175psi/1206kPa.
