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 with the functions:
- to maintain the bogie-body distance regardless of the load distribution
- to control the inflation & deflation of the suspension cushions
- with vertical or horizontal mounting on the bogie or on the car-body.
- with enhanced corrosion (600 hours salt-spray).
- Optional mounting of a check valve on air supply.
It connects the two suspension cushions and ensures the angle of the vehicle in the event of a leak. If a pressure difference is detected between the right and left cushions, the valve will ensure that the pressure difference is no more than a certain amount of bars (standard: 1,25 bars). Can be modified upon request.
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.
Connected to the bogie frame, the safety valve consists of two chambers isolated by a valve. The valve is returned by a spring.
Advantages of FBO valves: Complies with EN 45545; Low temperature option (-40°C); No preparation required; Quick setting.
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.
