Frequently Asked Questions
How does the ZSFM deluge alarm valve keep the system closed until a fire is detected?
The ZSFM is a diaphragm-type valve that stays closed under system pressure through diaphragm pressure balance. When a fire detection network sends a signal, the diaphragm chamber pressure is released and the valve opens instantly, flooding every open nozzle in the deluge zone.
What size range and pressure ratings does the ZSFM cover?
The ZSFM deluge alarm valve group covers DN50 to DN300 with a working pressure of 1.6 MPa and a testing pressure of 3.2 MPa (shell test 6.4 MPa). Flanged and grooved connections are both available.
Which remote triggers can open the ZSFM deluge valve?
The valve supports mechanical, pneumatic and electrical remote triggers. The electrical option uses a DC24V / 0.5A solenoid pilot, so the valve group can be integrated with most fire alarm control panels.
What does the complete ZSFM deluge alarm valve group include?
The group includes the ductile iron (QT450-10) main valve with a nylon-reinforced NBR diaphragm, a hydraulic alarm gong, a pressure feedback switch, and stainless steel or brass trims for alarm and discharge connections.
