DESCRIPTION

Series 55 pneumatically operated tank bottom valve has a body with attached welding neck and an inlet ports, a diaphragm sea land actuator. Tank bottom valves are normally used as outlet valves and are welded into the lowest point of the tank bottom enabling the tank to be self drained and cleaned or sterilized. The most important design feature of the valve is that the weir is as close as possible to the internal contour of the tank. This enables the diaphragm seal to effectively become a continuation of the surface of the tank bottom with no dead leg. The diaphragm is both a switch as well as a sealing element for the media. It is easily replaceable. An actuator is provided for the protection of diaphragm and for opening and closing actuation of the valve. Modified versions of the tank bottom valves are designed for installation in the tank walls.
