Providing Additional Security
Preaction Valves are used where additional security is
needed to avoid accidental discharge of water, for instance, in a computer
control room.
There are two types of preaction valves: Single and Double
Interlock. Single Interlock is where detection or pilot heads are needed
to operate the valve releasing mechanism, which then provides water
to the sprinkler system. It is then available to discharge once heat
from a fire activates a sprinkler head. A Double Interlock valve needs
both electronic and pneumatic activation to occur before the valve will
trip, providing water to the activated sprinkler.
