Draining Valve

The Requirement

This valve was designed and built for one of our clients in Ireland. The brief was for a valve which could be used in a system with regular wash downs and that would permit the system to drain right down to the level of the butterfly leaf.

What we delivered

A valve was produced with a drain through the short trunnion and a series of removeable plugs. Just to make matters more complicated still, the flanges on the inlet and outlet weren't exactly aligned so the top mating flange had to be made "floating" so as to be able to match the bolt holes
