Viking EasyPac Commercial Riser Groove Test & Drain for Wet-Pipe Fire Sprinkler Systems

The Viking EasyPac Commercial Riser Groove is a pre-assembled, factory-tested riser manifold assembly engineered to simplify the installation and ongoing maintenance of commercial wet-pipe fire sprinkler systems. This all-in-one unit integrates critical components into a single, compact assembly, ensuring high performance and full compliance with NFPA 13 and NFPA 25 requirements. Ideal for various commercial applications, including high-rise buildings and floor control zones, this riser streamlines system management while providing a professional, uniform appearance.

• Grooved Connections: Features grooved inlet and outlet connections designed for quick, secure, and rigid installation within compatible piping systems, significantly reducing labor time and costs compared to traditional welding.
• Integrated TESTanDRAIN Valve: Combines the essential functions of an inspector’s test connection and a system drain into a single valve. This allows for efficient water flow alarm testing and system drainage. The TESTanDRAIN valve typically includes a test orifice, sight glass for visual confirmation of water flow, and a tapped port for system access.
• Multiple K-Factor Orifices: Available with various orifice sizes (e.g., K2.8 to K25.2) to accurately simulate the discharge of specific sprinkler heads for precise system testing and verification. The K-factor relates the water pressure to the flow rate from the sprinkler.
• Pressure Relief Protection: Equipped with a factory-set pressure relief valve (PRV) to protect the system from damaging overpressure and surges, ensuring long-term system integrity. NFPA 13 requires PRVs for all wet-pipe systems to prevent excessive pressure build-up.
• Complete Riser Components: Includes necessary components such as pressure gauges, a Potter water flow switch for reliable alarm activation, and a durable fabricated steel body. Potter VSR series flow switches are widely used in fire sprinkler systems. The riser body is finished with a protective Ecoat or powder finish for corrosion resistance.
• NFPA 13 & 25 Compliant: Specifically engineered to meet stringent fire safety codes for the installation, inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire sprinkler systems.

By consolidating multiple fire protection functions into one pre-engineered unit, the EasyPac Commercial Riser eliminates the need to purchase and assemble individual parts on-site, saving significant time and labor. This professional solution enhances the ability to quickly identify fire events and conduct maintenance on specific zones without requiring a complete system shutdown. Factory-tested to ensure out-of-the-box reliability, this riser manifold provides a dependable and efficient solution for modern commercial fire protection needs.
