Hydraulically Controlled Anti-Columning Deluge Valve FP 400Y-5M

Classic Deluge

The BERMAD model 400Y-5M is an elastomeric, hydraulic, line pressure operated deluge valve, designed specifically for advanced fire protection systems, the latest industry standards. The 400Y-5M is activated by a pressure operated relay valve, which latches the main valve open until locally reset. The 400Y-5M is ideal for systems with remote or elevated wet pilot lines, due to its boosted local pressure release. The valve’s position monitoring device features a visual position indicator that can interface with any fire & gas control system.
