Installation

Whether installing the Torrent SVS Valve during new construction or as a retrofit,
proper planning and equipment layout ensures a smooth installation. The SVS valve is
designed to mount onto a Hale midship pump without interference to other suction or
discharge connections.

Note: When ordered as part of a new midship fire pump the valve is pre-installed on
the fire pump and tested at the factory per NFPA requirements.
