20、COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover indicator posts, including wall and underground types, for use in operating valves of the inside-screw pattern and for indicating the position of

21、the gates in such valves. Indicator posts are primarily intended for use with valves controlling water supplies to sprinkler, deluge, water spray, foam, and standpipe systems used in private re service where connections enter buildings. 1.2 Requirements for the installation and use of the indicator

22、posts covered by this standard are included in the following Standards of the National Fire Protection Association: a) NFPA 11, Low Expansion Foam and Combined Agent Systems; b) NFPA 13, Installation of Sprinkler Systems; c) NFPA 14, Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems; and d) NFPA 24, Instal

23、lation of Private Fire Service Mains. 2 Components 2.1 Except as indicated in 2.2, a component of a product covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. 2.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristi

24、c not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.4 Specic components are incomplete in const

25、ruction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions.

Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 4 Undated References 4.1 Any undat

27、ed reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. CONSTRUCTION 5 Barrels 5.1 The walls of a barrel shall be made of material having physical and corrosion resistant properties at least e

28、quivalent to one of the following: a) Gray iron extra-heavy soil pipe (0.25 inch nominal thickness) in accordance with the Standard Specication for Cast Iron Soil Pipe and Fittings, ASTM A74, for either the upper or lower barrel; b) Minimum 0.21-inch thick ductile iron in accordance with the Standar

29、d for Ductile Iron Pipe Centrifugally Cast, for Water, ANSI/AWWA C151/A21.51, for either the upper or lower barrel; c) Schedule 40 steel pipe for either the upper or lower barrel in accordance with Standard Specication for Pipe, Steel, Black, and Hot-Dipped, Zinc-Coated, Welded and Seamless, ASTM A5

30、3, and the Standard Specication for Electric-Resistance-Welded Steel Pipe, ASTM A135; d) Class 200 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe in accordance with the Standard for Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Pressure Pipe and Fabricated Fittings, 4 inch through 12 inch for Water Distribution, AWWA C-900, for the lowe

31、r barrel of indicator posts for underground use. 5.2 Ferrous materials having wall thickness less than those specied in 5.1 and provided with a protective interior and exterior coating may be used when determined to be equivalent using comparative corrosion analysis. 5.3 The inside diameter shall be

32、 nominally 4 inches (102 mm) at any point throughout its length. The inside diameter at the bottom of the lower part shall be not less than 8 inches (203 mm) over the length required to provide for clearance to the valve bonnet when attached to the valve ange. 5.4 The length of a barrel for an under

33、ground valve shall be such that the middle of the target windows can be placed at least 30 inches (760 mm) above the bury line marked on the barrel. 5.5 If the length of a barrel for an underground valve is adjustable: a) The upper part shall extend below the ground a distance of not less than 6 inc

34、hes (152 mm); JANUARY 9, 2004 INDICATOR POSTS FOR FIRE-PROTECTION SERVICE - UL 789 6UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL b) The means for connecting the upper and lower parts shall prevent dirt from entering inside the barrel. Mea

35、ns for dirt entrance prevention may include the use of an O -ring seal installed in a groove between the upper and lower parts of the barrel constructed to resist dislodgement; having the upper barrel part telescope over the lower barrel part with the top of the lower part extending above the bury l

36、ine; or the like; and c) The parts shall be clamped together by two 3/4 inch (19.1 mm) diameter mild-steel setscrews, complying with the Specication for Carbon Steel Forgings for Piping Components, ASTM A105/A105M, or having equivalent strength, placed one above the other in the upper part. The lowe

37、r part shall be arranged so as to prevent separation or rotation of the upper part. 5.6 Prevention of separation may be accomplished by providing on the lower part either deeply spotted holes for the ends of the setscrews or a series of horizontal ribs spaced the same distance apart as the setscrews

38、. Prevention of rotation may be accomplished by casting four vertical ribs on the exterior of the lower part. Setscrews may also be used to prevent separation and rotation. 5.7 The upper part of a barrel for underground service shall be constructed so that there is no projection, ange, taper, or rou

39、ghness by which the action of frost may lift the part. A bead, if used to mark the bury line, shall not be raised more than 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) on the casting. 5.8 An indicator post shall be provided with a base ange for connection to the indicator-post ange provided as part of the inside-screw gate v

40、alve. The indicator-post ange shall be drilled for four 5/8 inch (15.9 mm) diameter mild-steel bolts, complying with the Specication for Carbon Steel Forgings for Piping Components, ASTM A105/A105M, or having equivalent strength, placed at 90 degrees on a bolt circle of 10-1/2 inches (267 mm) for va

41、lves up to and including 14 inches (356 mm). 5.9 The barrel for a wall-mounted indicator post shall be provided with an integral ange for bolting to the outside of the wall. The ange shall provide for four 5/8 inch (15.9 mm) diameter mild-steel bolts, complying with the Specication for Carbon Steel

42、Forgings for Piping Components, ASTM A105/A105M, or having equivalent strength, placed at 90 degrees on a bolt circle of at least 10-1/2 inches (267 mm). The inside diameter of the barrel shall provide a minimum 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) clearance between moving parts and the barrel. 6 Caps 6.1 A cap shall

43、: a) Be of weatherproof construction; b) Be securely fastened to the barrel, such as by the use of two 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) diameter mild-steel bolts complying with the Specication for Carbon Steel Forgings for Piping Components, ASTM A105/A105M; c) Furnish a bearing complying with the requirements of

44、 7.1.1; and d) Provide means for lubrication of this bearing.

45、a) Turn freely in its bearing; b) Not become clamped to its bearing by locknuts; and c) Turn no matter what the position may be of any target nut, target, or other indicating mechanism. 7.1.2 The size and length of thread on the operating stem or stem nut for operation of a moving-target mechanism s

46、hall be such that the indicator post may be used interchangeably for all sizes of the particular make of valve for which the post is designed. 7.2 Underground types 7.2.1 An operating stem and stem nut shall be made of material having the physical and corrosion resistant properties at least equivale
