400E-Y Deluge Valve
Safety First
BERMAD believes that the safety of personnel working with and around our equipment is the most important consideration.
Please read all safety information below and any other relevant source before attempting to perform any maintenance
function. Comply with all approved and established precautions for working with your type of equipment and/or environment.
Authorized personnel should perform all maintenance tasks.
Prior to performing a procedure, read it through to the end and understand it. If anything is not clear, ask the appropriate
authority. When performing a procedure, follow the steps in succession without omission.
1. General
The BERMAD 400E-Y Water Control Valve designed for vertical or horizontal installation and is used for Deluge, Pressure
Control Deluge and Pre-action in Firewater or Foam systems.
The 400E-Y straight-through design provides high flow capabilities with minimum head loss and the removable cover
enables quick in-line service. The elastomeric assembly can be easily removed from the valve body with no need for
disassembling of the valve from the line. Deluge systems are commonly used where, when the system operates, it is
desirable to simultaneously spray water or foam from all open nozzles on the system.
1.2 Optional Features
Valve Position Indicator and Namur interface for industrial switch box
Valve Seat Ring
Alarm Pressure Switches
Water Motor Alarm
Seawater construction
Drain Valves – Upstream and/or Downstream
1.3 Approvals
The Bermad 400E-Y Deluge Valve is UL Listed and FM Approved when installed with specific components &
accessories. Refer to the current UL and/or FM fire protection equipment directory. Consult Bermad for any component
approval recently to appear in any equipment directory.
1.4 Principal Of Operation
The Bermad 400E-Y that is assembled with specific trim is suitable for systems that include adequate detecting and
piping systems with open nozzles, the valve prevents water from entering the system piping and kept closed by pressure
applied to the control chamber through a restricted priming line.
In the SET position (Fig 1-a), the water pressure supplied through the priming line is trapped in the control chamber of
the deluge valve and presses the valve seal disc down, thereby sealing the valve and keeping the system piping dry.
Under FIRE conditions, when the pressure is released from the control chamber (Fig 1-b) by the opening of the
automatic releasing device or by manual release, the deluge valve opens and allows the inlet supply water to flow
unrestricted through the valve and into the system piping and alarm devices.
Warning:Whenever the handle of the Manual Emergency Release is pulled, pressure is released from the control
chamber, the deluge valve will open, and water will flow into system piping and alarm devices.

2. Installation
NOTES:
■Proper operation of the Bermad 400E-Y Deluge Valves depends upon their trim being installed.
■The 400E-Y valve shall be trimmed with specific trim components and accessories, it must be installed and
maintained in compliance with the most recent Bermad publications.
■Any deviation in trim size or arrangement may adversely affect the proper operation of the deluge valve.
Warning: The deluge valve and trim must be installed only in areas where they will not be subject to freezing.
2.1 Installation Instructions
1. Allow enough room around the valve assembly for any adjustments and future maintenance.
2. Before the valve is installed, flush the pipeline to remove any dirt, scale, debris, etc.
Warning: not flushing the line may result in the valve being rendered inoperable.
3. Install the valve on the pipeline with valve flow arrow designated on the body points in the desired direction.
4. Install a listed / approved indicating valve upstream of the system (supervised “open”).
5. All other components are positioned correctly as per the appropriate drawing.
6. The water supply priming line must be connected to the upstream of the system control valve.
7. For Hydraulic or Pneumatic trim: Install an "End of Line Release Valve" with maximum bore of 1/2", installed
at the same level or higher than the highest fusible plug position and located at the remotest location on the
system possible.
8. For pneumatic / Electro-Pneumatic trim: Install a pneumatic pressure supply system, see “Pneumatic System
Pressure Requirements" below.
9. Pneumatic System Pressure Requirements: see "Placing in Service" section below prior to any air supply
connection.
10. A Solenoid Valve shall be wired to the Releasing Control Panel according to information provided by the
panel manufacturer.
11. All additional accessories, although not packed together with the BERMAD Deluge Valve, must be installed
as shown in the relevant drawing and other illustrations.
12. After installation in the main line, carefully inspect/correct any damaged accessories, piping, tubing, or fittings;
ensure that there are no leaks.

3. Operation
3.1 Hydraulically Controlled
Bermad Hydraulically Controlled Deluge valve is suitable for automatic or remote controlled water or foam systems
that include a wet pilot-line with closed fusible plugs (thermal releases) and piping systems .The typical wet pilot-
line is installed in a covered area and connected to the valve trim. In fire conditions, operation of a release device
on the wet pilot line opens the Deluge Valve, allowing water to enter the system piping.
NOTE: Wet pilot line height should not exceed maximum elevation above valve see attached graph.

400E-Y Deluge Valve
3.2 Electrically Controlled System
The Bermad Electrically Controlled Deluge Valve is suitable for automatic water spray or foam systems that
include electric detection and piping systems with open nozzles. The Deluge Valve is operated by an electric
Solenoid Valve and requires a Listed/Approved control panel with a compatible electrical fire detection system.
In Fire conditions, activation of the detection system causes the System Control Panel to be activated.
This in turn opens the Solenoid Valve, causing the Bermad Deluge Valve to open, and thereby allowing water to
enter the system piping.

400E-Y Deluge Valve
3.3 Pneumatically Controlled System
BERMAD Pneumatically Controlled Deluge Valve is suitable for systems that include dry pilot lines with closed
pneumatic fusible plugs and piping systems with a wide variety of open nozzles. In SET position, the water pressure
supplied to the deluge valve control chamber is trapped by a closed Pneumatic Pilot Valve and holds the main
valve’s diaphragm and plug against the valve seat, sealing it drip-tight and keeping the system piping dry.
In FIRE conditions, a pilot line pneumatic pressure drop, opens the pilot valve, pressure is then released from the
control chamber, causing the Deluge Valve to open, and thereby allowing water to enter the system piping.
