Model ZW215FP
Fire Pump Suction Control Valve
Application
The Zurn Wilkins Model ZW215FP Fire Pump Suction Control
Valve is designed specifically for Fire Suppression Systems to
prevent fire pumps from over-drawing from the water supply
resulting in damage to the pump or the supply network because
of very low or negative pressures on the suction side of the
fire pump. The pilot assembly reacts quickly to increases and
decreases of suction pressure. The control valve will close if
suction pressure drops below the set pressure. The control
valve will open again once suction pressure rises to the control
valve set pressure and will modulate to keep the suction presOW
FL
OF
sure at the set pressure until supply increases. In addition the
N
TIO
Model ZW215FP comes standard with epoxy coating internally
EC
DIR
and externally for corrosion protection, as well as a test cock
on the sensing port for quick bleeding of sensing line.

Operation
The Zurn Wilkins ZW215FP utilizes a pressure relief pilot valve that installs on the discharge side of the control circuitry.
The pilot Model PV-RLF is a direct acting, normally closed, spring loaded, diaphragm actuated valve. The operation of the
ZW215FP begins with accurately sizing the valve, then fine tuning the control circuitry by adjusting the PV-RLF to open at
the desired suction pressure. A sensing line runs externally from the suction side of the pump to the pilot control chamber
under the diaphragm. Thus, suction pressure exceeding the preset of the pilot acts to open the pilot valve while the adjustable spring in the pilot seeks to keep it closed. The result is a modulating action in the pilot that is transmitted to the cover of
the main valve. This creates a mirror modulation of the diaphragm assembly in the main valve. Suction pressure is maintained
within narrow limits regardless of changing flow rates or outlet pressure when supply has decreased below acceptable limits.
Flow Characteristics
Suggested flow calculations are based on flow through Schedule 40
Pipe. Maximum continuous flow is approx. 20 ft./sec (6.1 meters/sec)
& maximum surge is approx. 25 ft./sec (7.6 meters/sec). Many factors
should be considered in sizing pressure relief valves including inlet
pressure, outlet pressure and flow rates.

Specifications
The Fire Pump Suction Control Valve shall be a single seated, line pressure operated, diaphragm actuated, pilot controlled
globe valve. The valve shall seal by means of a corrosion-resistant seat and resilient, rectangular seat disc. These and other
parts shall be replaceable in the field; all such service and adjustments to be possible without removing the valve from the
line. The stem of the basic valve shall be guided top and bottom by integral bushings. The basic valve and its pilot control
system shall contain no packing glands or stuffing boxes. The diaphragm shall not be used as a seating surface nor shall
pistons be used as an operating medium. All internal and external ferrous surfaces shall be coated with a high quality, fusion
epoxy coating. The pilot control system shall include a direct-acting, normally closed, spring-loaded, diaphragm actuated
pilot valve with the stem guided between the diaphragm assembly and seat disc. To ensure precise suction pressure control
the appropriately rated pilot valve shall be field adjustable within the pressure control range of the spring. The Fire Pump Suction Control Valve shall be a ZURN WILKINS Model ZW215FP.
