Fort Vale Engineering has announced a new valve for the transportable bulk chemicals industry.

The DN100 Ball Valve has a 4” bore and is manufactured in 316 stainless steel. It uses a contained seal carrier design to improve sealing and operational performance and is ideal for use on various applications, including tank containers, road tankers and rail cars – and complies with BS EN 14432:2014.

Carefully manufactured in stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance, the DN100 Ball Valve will ensure your products flow out of your tank container easily and efficiently. Like all Fort Vale valves, it’s easy to maintain and service, with spare parts available globally through the Fort Vale offices and distribution network.

Available for left or right hand operation, the valve has a (MAWP) design pressure of 16 Bar and will operate at temperatures between -40° C and 200° C.

Fort Vale’s Graham Blanchard said: ‘As with all of our products in the ball valve range, this 4″ valve is designed to work simply and efficiently. We take pride in the fact all Fort Vale products are built to the same high standard for continued use in an industrial setting, with no drop off in quality and efficiency during their extensive life.

Successful and profitable tank operation relies upon the technical integrity of each and every component. That’s why we ensure precision throughout, so that you can rely on the performance of our valves and your tanks’.August 22, 2022
