Abstract:
A combination control and check valve assembly for a wet piping system includes a control valve in the form of a ball valve and a one-way check valve mounted within the flow pathway of the ball valve. A valve actuation assembly is mounted to the valve assembly to selectively rotate the ball valve between the open and closed positions thereof. The valve actuation assembly is mounted to a first side of the valve assembly and rotationally fixed to the ball, whereby rotation of the valve actuation assembly rotates the ball between the open and closed positions. A side opening is formed in a second side of the valve assembly that is angularly spaced from the first side. The side opening is positioned to align with the fluid flow pathway of the ball valve in the closed position thereof to provide access to the check valve.

Claim (Index 10):
The combination control and check valve assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the side opening includes a outwardly extending throat from the second side of the valve body, the side cover removably covering the throat, and a water pressure relief opening is formed in a sidewall of the throat, the pressure relief opening being formed at a position covered by the side cover when removably covering the throat.
