Diaphragm valve FP-400E-6D

electropneumaticelectrically-actuatedpneumatically-operated

Product Overview
The BERMAD FP-400E-6D is an elastomeric, hydraulic line pressure operated electro-pneumatic on-off deluge valve designed for advanced fire protection systems. It opens on an electric signal and/or on a pressure drop in a pneumatic pilot line. Optional valve position indicator and limit-switch assemblies enable integration with Fire & Gas monitoring; electrical components for hazardous locations are available.
