Zonecheck Residential is now available with a residential monitored valve.
Project Fire’s residential zone equipment packages now includes a full bore lockable monitored valve designed to meet the requirements of BS 9251:2021. The contactless tamper switch monitors the fully open position of the valve and will send a signal to either a Zonecheck Addressable controller or any other alarm device if the valve is closed or being tampered with. Monitored valves are now a requirement for residential systems designed to BS 9251 and are typically used in residential systems as a zone or control valve.
The monitored valve can now be easily included with residential Zonechecks simplifying ordering and delivery of residential zone equipment.
Monitored valves can also be ordered seperately with CPVC adapters.

Featured FAQs
Why are monitored valves so important?
The number one reason sprinklers fail is due to closed valves. A section of a sprinkler system is usually taken offline or ‘shut off’ for planned or unplanned maintenance by closing its local valve. When we say a system is shut off, we mean a control valve is closed which stops water flow past a certain section and from ultimately reaching the sprinkler heads.
Do all valves have to be monitored?
All valves on a system designed BS 9251 (except category 1) that control the flow of water to a system should be electrically monitored for the correct open position.
Can Zonecheck Residential be monitored?
Yes. With the addition of a Zonecheck Addressable Controller, Zonecheck Residential can be connected to IMMs to form an addressable system which can perform remote and automatic testing and monitoring of flow-switches in larger or mixed-use residential buildings. You can also wire our residential monitored valve to the same IMM for monitoring purposes. For more information please see our Zonecheck Addressable page.
Is Zonecheck Residential approved?
Yes. Although no approval is generally required for automatic fire sprinkler products in residential buildings, our galvanised units are LPCB approved and our CPVC units have been certified by Warrington Fire.
