SLV5 Air Operated Bottom Valve

The SLV5-ARO pneumatic and sequential emergency valve incorporates the latest technical advancements to ensure high flow rates and the safe loading and discharge of road tankers.

The SLV-ARO has a specially designed poppet that provides a reduction in static electricity for fast and safe operation at high flow rates.

This valve is installed in the compartment floor and controls the flow of product from each compartment. It also incorporates a shear groove which is designed to break below the valve and retain the compartment contents in the event of accidental damage to the wet legs or API adaptors.

The 125mm diameter poppet has a concave design which operates as a deflector reducing splash, surge and static build up during loading and similarly during discharge. The unique design results in nil vortexing of the product meaning faster and safer loading and unloading.

Liquip can supply SLV5 series foot valves as single units or in "Kits". A Kit is a part that combined two or more parts e.g. a SLV5 foot valves supplied with mating Tank flange and pipe flange gaskets. Please see ordering information tab for further detail.

Features & Benefits
  • Incorporates the latest technical advancements to ensure fast and safe loading and discharge of road tankers.
  • A unique hinged poppet 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 pneumatically or manually.
  • Faster flow rates and a reduction in static electricity for improved and safer operation.
  • Hinged poppet design gives minimum height, so valve requires very little clearance to drop out for servicing. 
  • Specially bonded lip seal design for superior sealing and extended life. 
  • Conforms with AS2809 requirements.
  • ARO (air operator assembly) is easily removed and replaced.
  • ARO supplied with a jacking screw to allow manual partial opening in the event of air pressure loss.
