Riser Manifolds For NFPA 13D/13R
Residential Sprinkler Systems
General
Description
TYCO Figure 513D (13D) & 513D/R
(13D/R) Riser Manifolds provide the
necessary waterflow alarm, pressure
gauge, and drain equipment in a single
assembly for use in NFPA 13D or 13R
residential sprinkler systems as follows:
NFPA 13D
• Figure 513D (13D)
1 Inch (DN25)
Female Thread x Female Thread
NFPA 13D/13R
• Figure 513D/R (13D/R)
1-1/2 Inch (DN40)
Male Thread x Female Thread
Male Thread x Male Thread
• Figure 513D/R (13D/R)
2 Inch (DN50)
Groove x Groove
Male Thread x Groove
The variety of sizes and end connec-
tions allow cost effective and easy tran-
sition to check valves, control valves,
and system piping. The Riser Manifolds
may be installed in either the horizontal
(flow switch on top) or vertical orienta-
tion (flow going up).
NOTICE
The Riser Manifolds 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 perfor-
mance of these devices.
The owner is responsible for main-
taining their fire protection system
and devices in proper operating con-
dition. Contact the installing contrac-
tor or product manufacturer with any
questions.

ductile iron, whereas the manifold body of
the Figure 13 is cast iron. The two assem-
blies are completely interchangeable in
function, application, and end-to-end laying
length..

Installation
TYCO Figure 513D (13D) & 513D/R
(13D/R) Riser Manifolds must be
installed in accordance with this
section.
The Riser Manifolds may be installed in
either the horizontal (flow switch on top)
or vertical (flow going up) orientation.
The inlet of the Riser Manifold may be
directly connected to a shut-off control
valve.
NOTICE
(1) Where applicable, pipe thread
sealant is to be applied sparingly. Use
of a non-hardening pipe thread sealant
is recommended.
(2) Provisions for an alarm test flow
must be made. The alarm test flow is
to be through an orifice having a flow
capacity equal to or smaller than the
smallest orifice sprinkler in the system.
One of two options can be considered.
The first option is to temporarily install a
test orifice in the outlet of the drain line
prior to performing the alarm test. The

second option is to install an Inspec-
tor's Test Connection downstream of
the Waterflow Alarm Switch
(3) Never remove any piping compo-
nent nor correct or modify any piping
deficiencies without first depressurizing
and draining the system.
Riser Manifolds
Step 1. Install the manifold body with
the flow arrow pointing in the down-
stream position using threaded con-
nections and/or listed mechanical
grooved connections, as applicable.
Step 2. Connect the drain line, and
then close the drain valve.
Step 3. Refer to Figure 4 for wiring guid-
ance. All wiring must be per-formed in
accordance with the authority having
jurisdiction and/or the National Electri-
cal Code.
Step 4. Place the system in service
by filling the system with water. When
filling the system, partially open the
control valve to slowly fill the system.
Filling the system slowly will help avoid
damaging the waterflow alarm switch.
After the system is fully pressurized,
completely open the control valve.
Step 5. Secure all supply valves open.
