Description
The Reliable REL-3W 1/4” NPT female threaded 3-Way Valve is intended to be installed in conjunction with fire protection system pressure gauges. When installed properly, the valve satisfies NFPA #13, which requires that each gauge connection shall be equipped with a shutoff valve and provisions for draining. Each valve has one inlet and two outlets. The valve body is equipped with a directional flow arrow to facilitate proper installation orientation. Typically one discharge outlet is used for pressure gauge installation and the second discharge outlet is normally plugged. The plugged outlet can either be used as an auxiliary drain or it can be used as an additional pressure gauge port to allow for calibration of the system pressure gauge.
