Features and Options

ֺֺ Double-Chambered Actuator
■ Actuator assembly can be removed as one integral unit.
■ Simple on-site conversion from Single to Double chambered actuator or vice versa.
ֺֺ Wide Body-Oblique “Y” pattern design
Hydro-dynamically designed for efficient flow with minimal pressure loss and excellent resistance to cavitation.
Valve port area clear of obstructions; no ribs or stem guides. Increases capacity by 25% over standard globe valves.
ֺֺ Diaphragm Assembly
■ The flexible, flat fabric reinforced diaphragm is supported over the majority of its surface.

■ Diaphragm load is limited to only the stretching forces applied to the active area.

■ Diaphragm is fully protected by the separtation partition from stones, wood and debris.

ֺֺ Valves are suitable to work with all types of command: Hydraulic, Electric and Pneumatic.
ֺֺ Self operated valves that can work without an external source of power.
ֺֺ Wide range of options:
■ One-way or two-way flow direction ■ Limit switches

■ V-Port ■ Analog opening output

■ Cavitation cages (Single or Double) ■ Large selection of control accessories

■ Visual position indicator

Plug Options
BERMAD’s 700 SIGMA EN/ ES series has various plug options to
enable different valve characteristics.

Flat plug - standard plug for on-off and high flow applications.

V-Port plug - uniquely designed throttling plug. It changes the

ratio of flow to stem travel allowing very wide flow range with
relatively high pressure reduction and provides more accurate,
stable and smoother response during pressure and flow regulation,
while reducing noise and vibration.

BERMAD’s 700 SIGMA EN/ ES series plugs can easily be change

before or after valve installation on site

Additional Valve Options and Features

Independent Lift Check - 2S

The BERMAD Independent Lift Check feature is an integral,

lift type, spring loaded non return trim that allow full control
and regulation in the required direction and smoothly closes
drip tight before flow changes direction, regardless of control
status.

Back-up Safety - TC

The BERMAD Back-up Safety feature is a Triple Chamber

actuated valve, where the third control chamber enables a
failsafe mechanism and is recommended in critical or sensitive
water systems to ensure continuous operation of the system.

Insertion Flow Meter - MT

The BERMAD Insertion Flow Meter can be inserted

into the upstream side of the 700-Sigma EN/ES valves,
adding accurate flow measurement function.

 Waterworks 700 SIGMA Series Engineering

Valve Position Indicator - I

The BERMAD Valve Position Indicator Assembly provides a

visual indication of valve opening and regulation behavior.

Single Limit Switch - S

The BERMAD Single Limit Switch Assembly includes mechanical

electrical change over contacts (NO + NC), enabling remote
signaling of the closed valve position.

Double Limit Switch - SS

The BERMAD Double Limit Switch Assembly includes two

mechanical electrical switches, enabling remote signaling of
the closed and the open valve positions.

14
 Waterworks 700 SIGMA Series Engineering

Flow Stem - M

The BERMAD Flow Stem Assembly enables limiting the

opening stroke of the control valve or for safety ensured
mechanical closure.

Lifting Spring - L

The BERMAD Lifting Spring Assembly enables the valve to

remain open at zero pressure conditions and to minimize
pressure losses.

Analog Valve Position Transmitter - Q

The BERMAD Analog Valve Position Transmitter Assembly

enables remote signaling of the valve’s relative position.
