New Preassembled Model 8511Z Floor Control with Pressure Reducing Valve

MALVERN, PA, April 4, 2024- AGF, a leading provider of innovative fire protection solutions, proudly announces the integration of its renowned, domestically made Model 8511 Sprinkler Floor Control manifold with the Zurn Model ZW5004 adjustable pressure reducing valve, offering unmatched efficiency and reliability for the fire sprinkler industry.
The AGF Commercial RiserPACK Model 8511Z is meticulously crafted in the USA using high-quality schedule 10 pipe, ensuring superior durability and performance. This assembly incorporates the AGF Model 2511 TESTanDRAIN valve with a pressure relief valve and drain trim, flow switch, pressure gauge, and AGF Universal 3-way gauge valve, along with a 2 ½” hose valve. The 8511Z manifold was designed specifically for floor control applications where a downstream drain outlet, capable of full flow is required for Pressure Reducing Valve acceptance testing and future inspection and testing requirements.
The integration of the Zurn ZW5004 Valve adds another layer of functionality and versatility to the AGF solution. The ZW5004 Valve is a 2-1/2″ Pressure-Tru® Valve featuring an inline body and grooved connections. Certified as a floor control valve, an indicating valve, and a check valve in automatic sprinkler systems, it is also listed as a standpipe valve for CLASS I and CLASS III systems. With the ability to regulate pressure under both FLOW and NO-FLOW conditions, the ZW5004 Valve offers unparalleled precision and control. Field adjustments are made effortless thanks to its low torque design, requiring only 9 ft lb of torque. Despite its compact profile, the larger handwheel ensures smooth operation, even in tight spaces.

Model 7000L Lockable Pressure Relief Valve Now Available in 200 PSI

Model 7000L Lockable Pressure Relief Valve
AGF’s new Model 7000L lockable pressure relief valve is now available in 200 PSI as well as the original 175, 225, and 300 PSI. Temporarily lock the 200 PSI pressure relief valve closed to allow for hydrostatic testing without removing the valve from the system. This saves significant installation time by eliminating the need for a return trip to install the relief valve after hydrostatic testing. Order Model 7000L standalone or on your favorite TESTanDRAIN, RiserPACK, or pressure relief kit. For a limited time, AGF is upgrading all riser orders with pressure relief to the Model 7000L for free!
 
Model 7000L has a ½” MIPT inlet and FIPT outlet, a bronze body, and a stainless-steel spring. It includes a metal “hydro” tab that can be temporarily locked with a standard flow switch hex wrench for hydrostatic testing. When testing is complete, remove the hex wrench to allow for standard operation.
 
The Model 7200L has a ¾” MIPT inlet and FIPT outlet and is available in 175 PSI.
