WHAT IS A PRPV?

The PRPV is a normally closed spring-loaded pilot valve that opens automatically to actuate the magazine sprinkler system in response to a pneumatic signal from one or more thermopneumatic elements.

BASICS OF THE PRPV

The three main components include the operating mechanism, the compensating vent, and the pilot valve. The valve assembly is provided with shock mounts and brackets for fastening to a bulkhead.

VALVE FAILSAFE

PRPV is equipped with a compensating vent which bleeds off the slight increase or decrease of pressure caused by normal fluctuations in temperature. This prevents an inadvertent tripping of the valve.
