Waste Cone
A waste cone is a discharge fitting that receives water from a test and drain valve, relief valve or alarm valve drain in an open funnel and passes it to the drain line. Thanks to the open funnel the flow is visible and an air gap remains between the drain line and the sprinkler installation.
It is used at sprinkler zone test stations, relief valve outlets in pump rooms and alarm station drains. Connection size and body material are selected by model.
Main Applications
- Sprinkler zone test and drain outlets
- Fire pump relief valve discharge
- Alarm valve station drains
- Pump test line returns
