Diaphragm valve FP-400E-3DC

electrically-operatedshut-offflow control

Overview
The BERMAD model FP-400E-3DC is an elastomeric, hydraulic, line-pressure operated deluge valve designed for advanced fire protection systems and current industry standards. It is activated by a 3-way solenoid valve enabling remote opening and closing. An integrated pressure-control pilot provides a precise, stable pre-set downstream water pressure. The FP-400E-3DC is ideal for open-nozzle systems with high-pressure water supply and is available with electric components suitable for hazardous locations. The optional valve position indicator can include a limit switch compatible with Fire & Gas monitoring systems.
