FK-5 PRO break tank stations

Fluid category 5 safety valves

KEMPER FK-5 PRO break tank stations protect drinking water from non-potable water up to and including fluid category 5. Due to the significant risk to human health caused by category 5 fluids, indirect separation from the drinking water system must be ensured. The FK-5 break tank station PRO meets this requirement through an integrated free type “AB” drain. And it also has many functional highlights!

The benefits:

  • Demand based water supply and low-noise operation thanks to modulating pump
  • High-level performance: flow rate up to 6 m³/h
  • Increase the supply volume to up to 18 m³/h by means of parallel connection
  • Promotes drinking water hygiene through programmable flushing cycles for the drinking water feed pipe
  • Automation of the operating time via time control program
  • Optional connection of external medium sources via a second feed
  • Easily view operating and plant data via BMS connection
  • Can be connected to other PRO components for a digitised drinking water installation

Optional benefits with PRO:

  • Live monitoring of readiness for operation via digital product twin
  • Documentation of hygiene-relevant water change (flushing the feed pipe)
  • Notification if the temperature falls below the frost protection level
  • Analysis of the system parameters for early prediction of the necessary maintenance measures (Predictive Maintenance)
  • Remote control of the operating modes (timed operation, automatic operation, blocking)

Definition of fluid category 5 based on DIN EN 1717

Fluid that presents a health hazard for human beings through the presence of microbial or viral pathogens of infectious diseases (contamination, danger to life).
