Pushrod Chamber Maintenance - Model DDX
Deluge Valve
A small bleed hole is located on the underside of the pushrod
chamber. Water leakage from the bleed hole can be caused by
a ruptured pushrod diaphragm:
a) Disable detection system.
b) Shut down the valve controlling water supply to the
Deluge Valve. Relieve the inlet pressure by opening the
main drain valve. Close the pushrod chamber supply valve
and open the Model B Manual Emergency Station.
c) Remove the trim at the unions nearest to the pushrod
chamber cover.
d) Take the pushrod chamber cover off by removing the
six retaining screws.
e) Visually inspect the pushrod chamber cover and pis-
ton to determine what could have damaged the diaphragm
and then correct. Install a new diaphragm.
Note: The diaphragm has two different surfaces; it is not
bi-directional and will fail if installed backwards. Roll the
diaphragm so that the smooth surface (the pressure side)
conforms to the inside of the pushrod chamber cover and
the fabric side engages the pushrod.
f) Reassemble the six retaining screws with an installa-
tion torque of 15 foot-pounds in a star pattern.
g) Set up the Model DDX Deluge Valve as per the section
“Resetting Model DDX Type D Double Interlock Preaction
System.”

Draining Excess/Condensate Water from the System

1. Notify the owner and monitoring company that mainte-
nance is being performed on the system.
2. Close the main water control valve.
3. Open the Main Drain Valve.
4. Open the Condensate Drain Valve until all water has
drained.
5. Close Condensate Drain Valve.
6. Partially open the Main Water Control Valve.
7. Slowly close the Main Drain Valve.
8. Fully open the Main Water Control Valve.
9. Notify the owner and monitoring company that the system
has been returned to service.
