Inbal Pre-Action valve
The Inbal Pneumatically Actuated, Double Interlocked, Preaction Valve utilizes an Inbal Dry Pipe Valve and a pneumatic pilot system. The Inbal Valve is controlled by pressure maintained in the pneumatic release system and supervisory pressure maintained in the sprinkler piping system. The Inbal Double Interlocked Preaction Valve will open to fill the sprinkler system with water only after both of the following occurrences: Activation of the release system and relieving of supervisory pressure from the sprinkler system. As soon as the releasing system and the sprinkler piping are reset, the Inbal Double Interlocked Preaction Valve resetting is merely done by activating the reset knobs. If only the pneumatic release system operates, an alarm will activate but the Inbal Valve will not open. If the sprinkler piping is damaged or a sprinkler is broken or fused but the pneumatic release system has not activated, an alarm will activate without opening the Inbal Valve. -
Inbal pressure reducing valve
The Inbal Pressure Reducing Valve series 700D-01R01 is specifically designed for pressure regulating applications in fire protection systems. The Inbal 700D-01R01 Valve automatically reduces a higher inlet pressure to a preset delivery pressure, which remains steady and unaffected by the variations or fluctuations in the inlet line pressure. The series 700D-01R01 consists of the Inbal Valve which is a pressure operated, sleeve actuated, axial valve and a pressure reducing pilot control. The Inbal Pressure Reducing Valve maintains the downstream pressure within a narrow pressure range. If the downstream pressure changes slightly the pilot control responds immediately to modulate the Inbal Valve for the preset pressure. -
