Diaphragm valve FP-400E-2M

hydraulicelectrically-operatedfor water

Product Overview
The BERMAD FP-400E-2M is an elastomeric, hydraulic, line‑pressure operated deluge valve designed for advanced fire protection systems. It is electrically controlled by a 2‑way solenoid valve and latches open when energized until a local manual reset is performed. An optional valve position indicator can include a limit switch for integration with Fire & Gas monitoring systems. The 400E-2M is suitable for open‑nozzle water or foam discharge systems and can be supplied with electrical components for hazardous locations.
