AGF Model 1000 Fire Sprinkler Test & Drain Valve with Integrated Pressure Relief

The AGF Model 1000 Fire Sprinkler Test & Drain Valve with Integrated Pressure Relief is a precision-engineered, all-in-one solution designed to streamline maintenance and enhance the safety of wet fire sprinkler systems. This compact and reliable valve integrates essential testing, draining, and pressure regulation functions, ensuring your fire protection system performs flawlessly when it's most critical. AGF Manufacturing revolutionized the fire sprinkler industry with the original Model 1000 TESTanDRAIN®, which replaced the entire floor control loop assembly with a single valve.

• Integrated Pressure Management: Equipped with a built-in Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) or Pressure Reducing Valve (PRVL), this unit automatically controls system pressure fluctuations. It prevents over-pressurization caused by thermal expansion, pump surges, or water supply fluctuations, safeguarding sensitive downstream sprinkler components from damage.
• Streamlined Testing and Draining: The ergonomic single-handle ball valve design simplifies operation, allowing maintenance teams to easily switch between testing and draining modes. This eliminates the need for complex traditional inspector's test loop assemblies, significantly reducing labor time, system downtime, and saving valuable piping space.
• UL Listed and FM Approved: This valve is fully compliant with industry standards, ensuring high-performance operation and adherence to codes such as NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, and NFPA 13D.
• Standardized Flow Testing: Features various orifice configurations (K-factors) for accurate flow testing as required by NFPA standards. The 5.6K orifice, for example, simulates the flow of a typical sprinkler head to test the water flow alarm.
• Tamper-Resistant Design: Incorporates a tamper-resistant test orifice and an integrated sight glass, providing direct visual confirmation of flow during testing.
• Hydrostatic Test Lock-Out: Includes a temporary system lock-out feature, allowing the pressure relief valve to be closed during hydrostatic testing without requiring removal from the system. This feature allows for easier compliance with NFPA 13 hydrostatic testing requirements.
• Durable Construction: Crafted from heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant bronze and brass alloys with a steel handle, this valve is engineered to endure harsh industrial and commercial environments and high-pressure scenarios, with a working pressure rating of up to 400 PSI.
• System Access Port: A tapped and plugged port is included for convenient system access.

This AGF Manufacturing solution is an indispensable component for fire safety professionals and facility managers seeking a high-performance, code-compliant solution. By combining critical functions—pressure regulation, flow control, and system testing—into a single unit, it simplifies inspections and actively safeguards your system against potential leaks and costly failures. The integration of the pressure relief valve is especially vital for wet pipe sprinkler systems, as required by NFPA, to protect against pressure surges and thermal expansion, ultimately extending the lifespan and reliability of your fire protection infrastructure.
