Sprinklers & Alarm Valves
Pre-action Deluge Alarm System (ZSFY Series)
ZSFY Pre-action Valve combines the advantages of both wet and dry sprinkler systems. The piping remains air-filled under normal status to avoid accidental water leaks, and is flooded rapidly with water upon fire detection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use pre-action for data centers, archives or museums?
The piping stays air-filled (0.03–0.05 MPa) under normal conditions, so an accidental pipe break cannot dump water on the protected assets. Water is released only when the dual-signal trigger confirms a fire.
How does the ZSFY dual-signal trigger prevent accidental discharge?
The valve requires two independent signals — a fire alarm signal and a pressure change — before the diaphragm chamber releases and floods the system. A single malfunction cannot trigger discharge.
What sizes and trigger options are available for the ZSFY?
DN80 to DN250 at 1.6 MPa, with pneumatic, electric or manual trigger options, and integrated pressure-maintaining and air-feeding devices in the group.
What materials make the ZSFY corrosion resistant?
Ductile iron QT450 body and bonnet, EPDM-covered bronze or spheroidal iron clapper, reinforced NBR diaphragm chamber, and brass and stainless steel accessories throughout the trim.
