DPCMS-RM Dry Potter Corrosion Monitoring Station Riser Mount

Potter DPCMS-RM is a corrosion monitoring station designed for dry fire sprinkler systems. It simulates conditions within the system and allows for easy monitoring of corrosion coupons without interrupting fire protection. The DPCMS-RM can be installed on a horizontal feed near the riser and features a coupon rack that holds test material strip specimens. Optional components include a corrosion monitoring probe and pressure switch that notify the administrator of excessive corrosion. The unit should be installed on the system side of any control valve.
