Description

Technical Specifications (Material Focus)
The Maxim Series M500 Reduced Pressure Detector Assembly is constructed with corrosion-resistant materials designed to endure harsh commercial and industrial environments. The main body integrates high-grade ductile iron treated with an epoxy coating for enhanced resistance against rust and chemical exposure in fire protection settings. Internal components include stainless steel springs and precision-machined parts that sustain consistent operation under fluctuating pressures and temperatures common in fire sprinkler systems. The assembly’s detector and relief valve mechanisms are engineered for reliable detection of pressure differentials, maintaining system integrity with minimal maintenance requirements.

Regulatory Compliance
This assembly is UL Listed, meeting UL 312 standards for reduced pressure principle backflow preventers used in fire protection systems, ensuring validated performance in preventing contaminant ingress. It also holds FM Approval, confirming compliance with Factory Mutual’s rigorous testing protocols tailored for fire protection equipment reliability. Furthermore, the M500 conforms fully with NFPA 13 and NFPA 25, addressing design, installation, inspection, and maintenance requirements for fire sprinkler and related systems to remain code-compliant and operationally safe.

Operational Compatibility
The Maxim Series M500 is rated for maximum working pressures consistent with commercial fire protection infrastructure, accommodating up to 175 PSI (12.1 bar) to handle variable water supply pressures without compromising sealing or detection response. Connection options include standard flanged ends that comply with ANSI B16.1 dimensions, allowing integration with existing piping layouts frequently found in mechanical rooms and fire pump rooms. Its compact form is optimized for installation in tight spaces typical of retrofit projects or new builds, without sacrificing detection accuracy or compromising system performance.

Application Insights and Use Cases
The Viking Maxim Series M500 is specifically engineered for commercial and industrial fire protection systems where continuous monitoring of reduced pressure zones is critical to prevent backflow contamination. It is ideal for scenarios requiring compliance with stringent municipal and insurance regulations that mandate both backflow prevention and electronic pressure detection. Fire safety engineers, facility managers, and system integrators will find this assembly effective in providing real-time detection to minimize risk of accidental or intentional cross-connection failures. Its resilience to corrosion makes it suitable for underground or outdoor installations exposed to variable environmental conditions. Additionally, its compatibility with common fire system architectures supports seamless integration into both new system designs and retrofits without extensive plumbing modification.

Why the M500 Maxim Series Stands Out
Unlike generic backflow detection assemblies, the M500 prioritizes accuracy and durability under tough conditions. Its precise differential pressure detection maximizes early fault identification, mitigating downtime risks and costly emergency repairs. The compact size facilitates installation flexibility where space constraints typically limit equipment choices. By adhering strictly to UL and FM standards and integrating NFPA compliant features, this assembly reduces installation and inspection complexities, ultimately supporting smoother compliance audits and longer intervals between servicing cycles.
