Floating ball valve FP-400E-2MC

electrically-operatedregulatingfor water

Product Overview
The BERMAD FP-400E-2MC is an elastomeric, hydraulic line-pressure-operated deluge valve engineered for advanced fire protection systems and current industry standards. It is activated by a UL429A-listed 3-way solenoid valve that operates a latching relay valve to open the main valve. Once opened, the valve remains latched open until reset locally. An integral pressure-reducing pilot provides stable, precise, preset downstream system water pressure. The valve is suited for open-nozzle systems supplied with high-pressure water and can be equipped with electric components for hazardous locations.
