Docking system RC-1

The TYCO Model RC-1 Retard Chamber is required in installations that will be subject to pressure variations, as are generally associated with public water supplies, in order to help prevent false alarms. The RC-1 is specifically intended for use as a separately ordered item for the Model AV-1-300 Alarm Check Valve (TFP910). It can, however, also be used as a separately ordered item for changing out older style Retard Chambers used with the Central Model F/G, Gem Model A, or Star Model E/F Alarm Check Valves. The Model RC-1 Retarding Chamber is a re-designation for the Gem Model F211 for use with Gem Model F20/ F200/F2001 Alarm Check Valves, as well as the Star Model S310 for use with Star Model S30/S300/S3001 Alarm Check Valves. The Model RC-1 Retard Chamber described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this document, as well as with the applicable standards of the NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION, (NFPA), in addition to the standards of any other authorities having jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair the integrity of this device. The owner is responsible for maintaining their fire protection system and devices in proper operating condition. Contact the installing contractor or product manufacturer with any questions.
