1 AMTROL recommends installing a pressure reducing valve before the backflow preventer.
2 The system pressure is too close to the maximum working pressure. NFPA 13 recommends installing a pressure reducing valve before the backflow
preventer.
Assumptions: 175 psig (12 bar) Maximum Working Pressure, 100F (37.7C) change in temperature, expansion tank precharge 2 psig (0.14 bar) below
System Static Pressure.
1 Please contact AMTROL Technical Services for Fire-X-Trol vessel sizing for parameters not found on chart.
Assumptions: 175 psig (12 bar) Maximum Working Pressure, 100F (37.7C) change in temperature (based on 40F/4.4C to 140F/60C), expansion tank
precharge to System Static Pressure.
Typical Specifications
Furnish and install, as shown on plans, an AMTROL
FIRE-X-TROL _________gallon (liter),___________inch
(mm) diameter X__________inch (mm) high AMTROL
FIRE-X-TROL Model FPT-(V)__________(-C) wet pipe
sprinkler system diaphragm expansion chamber.
The expansion chamber will accommodate the expanded fluid
of the system generated within the normal operating temperature range, limiting the pressure increase at those components
in the system to the maximum allowable pressure at those
components. It shall maintain a minimum operating pressure.
Each tank shall have a diaphragm used to isolate the nitrogen
or dry air (-50F/-46C dewpoint or lower) charge from the fluid.
