Model C — Automatic Ball Drip
An automatic drain valve horizontally installed at the low point
in the fire department connection piping of automatic sprinkler
systems. Water pressure from a fire department pumper au-
tomatically closes this valve. It automatically re–opens when
pressure ceases, permitting this piping to drain and thereby
preventing freezing. Made of bronze and available with 3/4”
(R3/4 ) or 1/2” NPT (R1/2) female inlet connection. FM approved.
Length: 29/16”. Maximum working pressure: 175psi (12bar).
Model C - Mechanical Ball Drip Valve
The Model C Mechanical Ball Drip Valve is a listed trim com-
ponent used in the alarm line of Reliable Model A & D dry
valves, Model DDX deluge and DDX preaction valves. The
mechanical ball drip valve is designed to close upon activa-
tion of the dry or deluge valve when sufficient flow is pres-
ent in the alarm line. In the normal or open position the me-
chanical ball drip allows for the relieving of pressure in the
alarm chamber of the valve. After valve activation, push in the
plunger of the mechanical ball drip valve to manually release
the water pressure and to drain the alarm line of the valve.
Made of bronze and available with ¾” (R¾) or ½” NPT (R½)
female inlet connection. FM approved. Length: 3½”. Maxi-
mum working pressure: 175 psi (12 bar).
Model C — 2” (50 mm) Sight Drain
Designed for installation in drain lines of sprinkler systems
that connect with closed drains. Made of cast iron with clear
plastic tube. Has 2” NPT (50mm) female pipe connection.
Length: 6” (152mm).
Model B — Drum Drip
Permits draining the low points of dry pipe systems without
tripping the system. Made of cast iron with 3/4” NPT (R¾) fe-
male pipe connection at each end.
Diameter: 61/2” (165mm). Length: 73/4” (197mm).
Model A — Control Valve Seal
Made of tin–plated steel. Two piece, snap type construction.
Outer piece holes are sized for use with standard sealing
wire (wire not included).
Diameter: 7/8” (22mm).
Model A — Fill Cup
Made of cast iron. Available with 1/2” or 3/4” NPT (R1/2 or R3/4)
female pipe connection.
Cup Diameter: 33/4” (95mm). Length: 21/4” (57mm).
