Unless excess pressure is pumped into system, the waterflow device should have a retard per NFPA 72 2010
17.12. There shall be no shut-off valve in line to a pressure type waterflow switch, unless the shut-off is electri-
cally supervised. Per NFPA 72 2010 23.8.5.10.4, the Potter Model RBVS is designed to electrically supervise
ball valves.
