FP 400E Deluge Valve Data
Description
BERMAD FP 400E Deluge Valves are elastomeric- type
globe valves that are rolling-diaphragm actuated, with an
integral, solid, resilient seal. These automatic water
control valves are designed for vertical or horizontal
installation and are available in diameter sizes from 1½” to
14” (DN40 to DN350).
The BERMAD FP 400E valves are used for water flow
control in Deluge, Combination Pressure Control Deluge,
Preaction or Water/Foam systems, and are manufactured
from various materials and coatings to suit all kind of
industrial specifications.
The FP 400E Deluge Valve is held closed by system water
pressure trapped in the control chamber. When the
releasing system operates, pressure is released from the
control chamber, and the seal disc opens to allow water
to flow into the system.
The design of the FP 400E valve body includes a single,
full bore seat with unobstructed flow path, free of any
in-line ribs, supporting cage, or shafts.
The unique hydro-dynamic globe design provides high
flow capabilities with minimum head loss. The cover is
removable via four (4) fastening bolts (up to 10”) for quick
in-line inspection and servicing.
The internal design of the FP 400E valve is based on
innovative technology using advanced rubber-based
materials to achieve a solid, one-piece, elastomeric
assembly including flexible fiber reinforced diaphragm,
vulcanized with a rugged radial seal disk, and together
providing resilient, drip-tight sealing. The elastomeric
assembly is carefully balanced and peripherally supported
to avoid tension and protect the elastomer, resulting in
long-life, controlled actuation, even under harsh
conditions.
The elastomeric assembly can be easily removed from the
valve body with no need for disassembling the valve from
the line.
Accessories
The BERMAD FP 400E Deluge Valve are trimmed with
the original components and accessories per
specification and in accordance with valve functions and
applications.
Where additional specifications and/or signaling devices
are required for a specific application, refer to system
data for the system used, and to the BERMAD data
sheet and Installation, Operation & Maintenance for
specific model required.
