If you look at Tyco's new pre-action valves they show a butterfly valve
installed at the top of the riser to do full trip tests without filling the
system.

Subject: Preaction trip test

Forum,

I have a client that would like to install an isolation control valve
several feet downstream of a preaction valve.  The system is double
interlock.  The purpose of the valve would be to permit a full flow trip
test, per 25, without flooding the system piping.  The system protects a
Tier III data center and they are not going to allow flooding of the piping
if there are other options available.  How common is this arrangement?  Any
pitfalls?

Thanks
