- Screw according to NF F 11-806.
- Flange according to standard STM 806
with possible options : safety lock, electric contacts, paint, gaskets for various temperatures or fluids.
The stop valves DN25 have to be screwed on pipes according to EN 14601 and NF UIC 542 with possible options: painting, sensitive notched handle, thick cataphoresis painting
DN65 drain valve is used for passenger cars equipped with recycled toilet holding tanks.
It is designed :

It is designed :
- to meet the specific requirements of the environmental field.
- to withstand bactericidal and descaling products.



PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION VALVES
FBO is offering :
- suspension valves for HST or intercity trains and subways for travelers’ comfort.
- integration of these products in plates or tube circuits for a complete air suspension function.
The leveling valve is intended to equip the air-spring suspensions :
- To maintain the length from car-body to the bogie regardless of the load distribution.
- to control the inflation of pneumatic suspension.
- with vertical or horizontal mounting on the bogie or on the car-body.
- with enhanced corrosion (500 hours salt-spray).
- Optional mounting of a check valve on air supply.
The differential valves ensures the level of the vehicle in the event of major leak in an air-spring :
- by mounting to the end of the car-body.
- allowing the air supply of the failing suspension by the symmetrical suspension system.
The safety valve (or discharge valve) ensures fast draining of air-cushions in case of failure :
- for the case where the distance from car-body to bogie exceeds the determined threshold.
- with enhanced corrosion (500 hours salt-spray).
The DN15 filter is designed to meet the demands of pneumatic circuits for pollution :
- for mounting on the compressed air line for the pneumatic spring suspension.
- to avoid significant pressure losses.
- for periodic cleaning without dismantling the piping.
