Electrically-actuated valve FP-400Y-3DC

pressure-controlshut-offfor water

Overview
The BERMAD FP-400Y-3DC is an elastomeric, hydraulic deluge valve operated by line pressure and designed for advanced fire-protection installations. It is actuated by a 3-way solenoid valve for remote open/close and integrates a pressure-control pilot to deliver a precise, stable preset downstream water pressure. A latching (bistable) option keeps the valve open until remotely released. Suitable for open-nozzle/high-pressure systems and configurable with electrical components for hazardous locations. Optional valve position indicator with limit-switch interfaces for Fire & Gas monitoring.
