Potter Electric Signal Co. Us BVL Bleeder Valve Lever Type

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL CO. US BVL is a lever-type bleeder valve designed for use in waterflow detection and fire sprinkler system assemblies. Bleeder valves of this type allow technicians to release trapped air or test pressure at specific points in a wet-pipe or dry-pipe sprinkler system. The lever actuator provides quick manual operation without additional tools. This valve is typically installed by licensed fire protection contractors and sprinkler system technicians during system commissioning, inspection, or maintenance work.

The BVL is suited for waterflow equipment assemblies in commercial and residential fire protection systems. It serves as a functional component in sprinkler trim packages, alarm valve assemblies, and associated waterflow test stations. Installation typically occurs at drain or test ports where controlled release of water or air pressure is required during system testing or service procedures.
