Emergency valves are operated from the tank top or bottom of the tank and include the latest technical advancements in their designs to ensure high flow rates and safe loading and unloading is achieved.
The Liquip bottom valve leads the industry with its low profile, low splash and vortex free design enabling faster tanker unloading than traditional mushroom poppet valves. Used globally by road tankers that carry fuels, the Liquip SLV5 series has become a benchmark for the industry. Easy to maintain because of its simplicity and low profile, excellent for both loading and discharge, this valve also reduces static created during flow by reducing splash and vortex.
All Liquip foot valves have a specially designed hinged poppet that provides a reduction in static electricity for fast and safe operation at high flow rates.
The valve is operated with a cable, which lifts the hinged poppet (which also acts as a splash deflector).
- Incorporates the latest technical advancements to ensure fast and safe loading and discharge of road tankers.
- A unique hinged poppet design has a concave design which operates as a splash deflector, eliminating vortexing and reducing splash, surge and static build up during loading and unloading.
- The valve is installed in the compartment floor and controls the flow of product from each compartment.
- Incorporates a shear groove that is designed to retain the compartment contents in the event of accidental damage to the outlet piping or API adaptors.
- Minimal pressure drop across the system.
- Can be operated by cable and compartment operators from the ground or top of the tanker.
