The TYCO Models BFV-300 and BFV-300C Grooved End Butterfly Valves are indicating type valves designed for use in fire protection systems where a visual indication of open or closed valve condition is required. They are used, for example, as system, sectional
and pump water control valves.
They have grooved inlet and outlet connections that are suitable for use with grooved end pipe couplings listed or approved for fire protection systems.
For applications requiring supervision of the open or closed state of the valve, the Gear Operators for the Model BFV-300/BFV-300C Butterfly Valves feature two sets of factory installed internal switches each having SPDT contacts, see Figure 3. The supervisory
switches transfer their electrical contacts when there is movement from the open or closed disc position during the first two revolutions of the handwheel.
