    Abstract: A coupling for joining plan end pipe having a housing made from a casting with a pocket disposed in the casting. The pockets holds an insert that engages the plain end pipe, and the insert is secured to the housing without the use of machined features on the housing or the use of additional components or adhesives to secure the insert to the housing. In a preferred embodiment, each insert is disposed in a pocket on the inner surface of the coupling assembly, with projections extending from the inner surface disposed within cavities on opposing sides of each insert to retain the insert within the pocket by obstructing the opening to the pocket. A preferred device and method of forming the projections is a press that deforms the projections to retain the inserts in the pockets.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating a piping system for an improperly assembled fluid tight connection. Provided is a preferred joint assembly unable to hold fluid pressure in either one of a dry fit connection and partial seal connection. The joint assembly includes a coupler to identify a leak. More specifically, the coupler includes a substantially tubular wall portion having an outer surface, an inner surface and a channel disposed along one of the inner and outer surfaces.

    Abstract: A dry fire protection system, preferably for a storage occupancy, and its method of design are provided in which a fluid delivery delay period is identified and implemented. The preferred design method includes defining a ceiling height, a storage configuration, and storage height. The hydraulic demand for a wet system protecting the same defined storage occupancy is then identified. A fluid delivery delay period is then determined for the dry sprinkler system, preferably a maximum ADT, which results in a sprinkler operational area having a total number of sprinkler activations less than or equal to that defining the total hydraulic demand of the wet system. The preferred dry system can be further configured such that each and every sprinkler in the system has a fluid delivery delay period equal to or less than the maximum fluid delivery delay period.

    Abstract: A diaphragm-type control valve having a diaphragm and a valve body is provided preferably for use in the separation of and fluid control between a fluid source and a pressurized gas volume. The diaphragm element and a port in the body together form an intermediate chamber that eliminates the need for a check- valve downstream of the valve. In one preferred embodiment, an inner surface of the valve body defines a chamber having an inlet and an outlet in communication with the chamber, and an elongated seat member defining a groove in communication with the port. A diaphragm member having upper and lower surfaces is disposed within the chamber. The lower surface preferably includes a pair of spaced apart elongated members defining a channel therebetween. The diaphragm member engages the seat member placing the channel in communication with the groove to define an air seat in communication with the port.

    Abstract: A fire suppression system includes a water line, a foam concentrate line, and a ratio flow controller fluidly coupled to each of the water line and the foam concentrate line at respective first and second inlets. The ratio flow controller controls a ratio of water and foam concentrate within a water and foam solution flowing out of the ratio flow controller. The system also includes a first bypass line fluidly coupled between the water line and the foam concentrate line and a second bypass line fluidly coupled to the foam concentrate line at a third position disposed upstream of the second position. The first bypass line facilitates water flow from the water line at a first position upstream of the first inlet to a second position upstream of the second inlet, and the second bypass facilitates foam concentrate flow from the foam concentrate line into a reservoir.
