FP/FS 400Y Torrent Vlve Engineering Dt Description The BERMAD FP/FS-400Y Torrent vlve is esigne specificlly for the fire protection inustry, with n emphsis on rugge relibility n high performnce to comply with the most emning stnrs. A stright-through, hyrulic, line pressure riven, elstomeric, rolling iphrgm globe vlve pprove for 25 br/365 psi with n inustry-leing flow rte. It is eqully suite to verticl or horizontl instlltion n is vilble in pipe imeter sizes from 1½ to 16 (DN40 to DN400). The BERMAD 400Y is esigne for flow control in eluge, pressure control eluge, remote on-off, monitor remote control, pre-ction systems, pressure reucing n pressure relief. It is excellent for ll fluis use in fire protection systems, from fire-wter supplies to fom solution, sewter, fom concentrte n other corrosive liquis. It cn be mnufcture from vrious mterils n cotings to suit wie rnge of specifictions n hzrous loctions. It is certifie n pprove to the ltest fire protection stnrs. The 400Y s unique hyroynmic Y shpe esign provies very high flow cpbilities with miniml he loss. It inclues strightthrough Y-type boy, with n unobstructe flow pth, free of ny supporting cge, in-line ribs, or shfts. FM APPROVED Ptent Pening Proviing resilient, rip-tight seling, the internl esign of the vlve is bse on innovtive Vulcnize Ril Sel Disk technology (VRSD) tht uses vnce rubber-bse mterils to chieve soli, single-piece, elstomeric unit. This is compose of flexible, fiber-reinforce iphrgm vulcnize with rugge, ril sel isk. It is crefully blnce n peripherlly supporte to voi tension n protect the elstomers, resulting in long life n epenble ctution, even uner hrsh conitions. Quick in-line inspection n servicing is enble by etchble vlve cover. The elstomeric ssembly cn esily be remove without tking the vlve out of the line or removing the trim. Fctory Fitte Options Locl vlve position inictor becon: The vlve cn be equippe with protective-covere, ul-color, qurter turn position inictor, reble from istnce of 50 meters Vlve Limit Switches n position monitoring evice: A limit switch unit with ul SPDT limit switches enclose in protective switch box tht cn interfce for monitoring ny Fire & Gs control system. The switch box incorportes ul-color visul position inictor. Swivel Drin Vlve unit: Instlltion in confine spces is fcilitte by the 360 egree swivel bility of the rin vlve connections. Set Insert (coe T) The set insert option is esigne for pplictions where there is high potentil for cvittion mge. Specify this option for pressure control pplictions hving high pressure ifferentils or for relief vlves hving tmospheric ischrge up to 175 psi / 12 br. The set insert option is lso recommene for incresing the vlve boy lifetime. Sewter resistnt (coe FS) The vlve boy n cover cn be cst in vrious lloys to provie the require resistnce to corrosive internl flui, such s sewter, or to corrosive externl environment, s with offshore pplictions or costl environments. Corrosion resistnce cn lso be provie by coting uctile iron or steel vlves with highbuil fusion bone epoxy with UV protection. 1

The BERMAD Moel 42T reuces wter pressure utomticlly n ccurtely from higher inlet vlue to lower set outlet vlue. It opertes uner both flow (Fig 2b) n non-flow (sttic) conitions (Fig 2). The pressure-reucing pilot vlve [3] senses chnges in outlet pressure n moultes pressure in min vlve control chmber [1] to mintin the set outlet pressure. When outlet pressure rises bove the set pressure: The pilot vlve throttles cusing wter pressure to ccumulte in the control chmber (1) by wy of the restriction orifice (2). This forces the min vlve to close further n reuce outlet pressure. When outlet pressure flls below the set pressure: The pilot vlve opens wier thn the pssge presente by the restriction orifice, enbling more wter to exit the vlve control chmber vi the pilot thn cn enter by wy of the restriction orifice, relesing pressure from the control chmber. This cuses the min vlve to open wier n thus increse outlet pressure. The restriction orifice lso controls the vlve s closing spee. For vlves 8 n lrger n justble neele vlve is provie.
