TRUE ADVANCED PURGE™ (TAP)

FOR DRY PIPE AND PREACTION FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS WITH NITROGEN

 

The True Advanced Purge™ Model TAP-G3 is designed to automatically purge air from within a dry-pipe sprinkler system or preaction sprinkler system and replace the air with 98% nitrogen from a NITROGEN-PAC™ sprinkler corrosion inhibiting system. The system also automatically samples, analyzes, and displays the percentage of nitrogen within the pipe.

Features

  • Automatic initial purge sequence for removal of air from sprinkler system piping and replacement with 98% nitrogen.
  • Automatic sampling of gas from inside the pipe and permanent display of nitrogen concentration.
  • Easy to read front panel display of nitrogen concentration, purge status, time, and date.
  • Mounts separately from associated purge vent assembly and connects with plenum-rated tubing.
  • Advanced, self-calibrating gas sensing technology with long sensor life.
  • Relay output for system fault remote notification including low nitrogen concentration after automatic initial purge sequence.

Benefits

  • Eliminates manual operation of ball valves to regulate purging.
  • Eliminates manual use of hand-held nitrogen analyzer to measure nitrogen concentration in the pipe.
  • Read nitrogen value at eye level – no need to climb up to purge vent locations.
  • Unit requires no periodic calibration.
  • Local and remote signaling of fault conditions.
  • Automatic purge sequencing minimizes compressor run time, lengthening compressor life and reducing energy consumption cost.

Did You Know?
  • Your dry-pipe or preaction fire sprinkler system can be infected! That’s right – microbes can be lurking inside your sprinkler pipes and causing damage.  Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) occurs when the right combination of moisture and microbial organisms produces rapid corrosion of steel piping from the inside out. MIC is not the only cause of steel pipe corrosion, but it is important to know about and mitigate this problem BEFORE it causes pitting, pinholes, and thinning of pipe walls. Take steps to prevent both rust and MIC by using NITROGEN-PAC.
