Tyco Fire Riser Manifold RM-1 – Tyco

Introduction: The Critical Role of Valves in Industrial Fire Protection

In fire protection systems, valves play a central role in controlling, isolating, and monitoring the flow of water during both normal operation and emergency response. From gate valves that isolate main lines to check valves that prevent reverse flow and control valves that fine-tune system performance, each type of valve contributes to the overall safety and reliability of the network. In the context of wet-pipe sprinkler systems—where water is constantly maintained within the pipes—efficiency, code compliance, and alarm integration are crucial.

To address this, Tyco Fire offers the RM-1 Riser Manifold, a smart, integrated solution that consolidates all essential riser components into one compact assembly. Designed for both commercial and residential applications, the RM-1 simplifies installation, reduces leak potential, and ensures reliable performance under high-pressure conditions.

Product Overview: Tyco RM-1 Riser Manifold

The Tyco Model RM-1 Riser Manifold is a factory-assembled valve system that brings together all critical elements required in a wet-pipe sprinkler riser. It includes a waterflow alarm switch, pressure gauge, alarm test orifice, drain valve, and sight glass, all in one durable unit. This integrated design reduces labor time, simplifies inspections, and significantly enhances reliability compared to traditional piecemeal assemblies.

The RM-1 is available in sizes ranging from DN25 to DN80 (1″ to 3″), with a pressure range of 20 to 300 psi (1.4–20.7 bar). Its compact form factor and straightforward installation process make it ideal for new builds, retrofits, and projects where space or time constraints are a concern.

Key Features and Specifications

• All-in-One Assembly: Combines six critical components—flow switch, pressure gauge, alarm test, drain, sight glass, and isolation valve.

• Horizontal or Vertical Mounting: Flexible installation to suit various riser configurations.

• High Working Pressure: Rated up to 300 psi to meet demanding applications.

• Wide Size Range: DN25–DN80 coverage for residential and commercial systems.
