Excess Flow Valves for Flange Mounting in Container Service

Designed for mounting in flanged tank connections with internal threads in the bottom of a container. They may be used in filling, withdrawal or vapor equalizing application. They provide high flow capacity with low pressure drop to minimize pump inlet line cavitation.

If a riser pipe to the vapor space is used with these excess flow valves, the minimum inside diameter of the riser pipe must be at least two times the valve thread size in order not to restrict flow to the side inlet ports.

Flange mounted excess flow valves are readily accessible for servicing and completely enclosed and protected in event of fire. Because there is no direct connection between external piping and the valve, stresses imposed on piping will not affect the excess flow valve.
