Why Toronto contractors choose ValveAtlas pre-action valves

UL 260, FM 1042 and UL triple listing. Every UNIVAL pre-action valve is UL 260 Listed, FM Class 1042 Approved and CAN/UL-S543 compliant. TFS accepts listed pre-action valves with factory trim kit, OBC compliance letter, NFPA 13 Chapter 7 Section 7.3 submittal package and UL 864 Ninth Edition releasing panel.

Single, double and non-interlock variants. UVPA-SI single-interlock (detection opens valve), UVPA-DI double-interlock (detection plus air loss both required), UVPA-NI non-interlock (detection or sprinkler opens valve) to match NFPA 13 Section 7.3.1, 7.3.2 and 7.3.3 application requirements. Double-interlock UVPA-DI-6 is standard for Toronto Tier IV data centers and cold storage freezer rooms to eliminate false trip from accidental sprinkler damage.

Factory-assembled trim with solenoid release. Complete pre-action valve trim per NFPA 13 Section 7.3.4, including priming cup, main drain, alarm test, inspector test, solenoid valve release (24 VDC), pressure gauges, supervisory switches and low-air/loss-of-air switches. Plug-and-play delivery to Toronto data center, museum or cold storage mechanical room.

UL 864 releasing panel integration. UVPA-RCP releasing control panel coordinates detection from smoke detectors (UL 268), heat detectors (UL 521) and spot/beam detectors with solenoid release signal. Factory wiring diagram with SLC addressable loop provided for all Toronto projects.

Direct substitution for Victaulic FireLock NXT, Tyco PV-1F, Viking F-1 and Reliable DDX Series. UNIVAL UVPA-SI and UVPA-DI are UL 260/FM 1042 listed equivalent. TFS accepts listed equivalent substitutions with engineer-of-record approval and submittal documentation.

Code and listing acceptance for Toronto

Ontario Building Code 3.2.5. OBC 3.2.5 adopts NFPA 13 with Ontario amendments for sprinkler installation. Pre-action sprinkler systems required in areas where accidental water discharge must be prevented per NFPA 13 Section 7.3.

NFPA 13 Chapter 7 Section 7.3 pre-action systems. Section 7.3.1 (single-interlock), Section 7.3.2 (non-interlock), Section 7.3.3 (double-interlock), Section 7.3.4 (design and trim) govern Toronto pre-action valve installation. UNIVAL trim packages ship NFPA 13 Chapter 7 Section 7.3 compliant.

NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code. NFPA 72 governs smoke, heat and beam detection for pre-action system release. UVPA-RCP UL 864 Ninth Edition releasing panel provides NFPA 72 Chapter 10 compliant detection and signaling.

Toronto Fire Services acceptance. TFS final inspection references NFPA 13 Chapter 7 Section 7.3 factory performance documentation, releasing panel wiring diagram and acceptance testing. Factory trim drawing and UL/FM certificates provided with every Toronto pre-action shipment.

Victaulic, Tyco, Viking and Reliable substitution for Toronto projects

Victaulic FireLock NXT Series 768 and 769 pre-action. Substitute UVPA-SI-6, UVPA-SI-8, UVPA-DI-6 or UVPA-DI-8 at matching size and interlock type. Same UL 260/FM 1042 listing with matching solenoid release and trim configuration.

Tyco PV-1F and PV-1G pre-action. Substitute UVPA-SI or UVPA-DI at matching size. Differential-type pre-action valve with low-differential clapper. Factory trim matches Tyco piping layout.

Viking F-1 pre-action and G-6000P. Substitute UVPA-SI, UVPA-DI or UVPA-NI at matching size and interlock type. Factory-matched solenoid and releasing panel wiring.

Reliable DDX and Model F pre-action. Substitute UVPA-SI or UVPA-DI at matching duty. Identical NFPA 13 Section 7.3 trim configuration.

Detection and releasing for Toronto pre-action systems

Smoke detection for single-interlock. UL 268 Listed photoelectric or ionization spot detectors, or projected beam detectors for high-ceiling applications. UVPA-RCP SLC addressable loop supports up to 159 detectors per loop.

Heat detection for double-interlock. UL 521 Listed fixed-temperature or rate-of-rise heat detectors. Double-interlock requires heat detection activation plus sprinkler head air loss both before water is admitted.

VESDA air-sampling integration. UVPA-RCP accepts input from Xtralis VESDA VEU, VLS or VLC aspirating smoke detection for Tier IV data center early-warning pre-action release.

Air supervisory for double-interlock. UVPA-AC CSA-certified compressor maintains 13 psi supervisory air on sprinkler piping. Loss of air signal combined with heat detection releases solenoid per NFPA 13 Section 7.3.3.

When do I need single-interlock vs double-interlock vs non-interlock? Single-interlock (UVPA-SI): detection opens valve, pipe fills with water, sprinkler operates on heat. Double-interlock (UVPA-DI): heat detection plus air loss both required, which eliminates false trip from accidental sprinkler damage, standard for Tier IV data centers and cold storage freezer rooms. Non-interlock (UVPA-NI): detection or sprinkler opens valve, standard for museum and archive collections.

Does UNIVAL work with UL 864 releasing panel? Yes. UVPA-RCP is UL 864 Ninth Edition Listed releasing control panel. Factory wiring diagram with SLC addressable loop, smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual release stations and solenoid output provided.

What is the delivery time to Toronto? Factory-assembled trim kits ship 4 to 6 weeks from order. Stock UVPA-SI-6 and UVPA-DI-6 ship 2 to 3 weeks. Same-day truck freight from Toronto HQ.
