2. Description
BERMAD’s Model FP 730-UF Pressure-Relief Valve is a pilot-operated, diaphragm type, high performance valve. It
accurately maintains a constant preset system pressure regardless of changing demands.
The Model FP 730-UF Pressure-Relief Valve reliably relives excess system pressure to sump or atmosphere, meeting all
