Marine Angle Type Storm Valve
Marine angle type storm valves are used to prevent water from entering the vessel through openings such as drains or air hoses during bad weather or high winds and waves. These valves are usually installed at a downward angle to allow water to drain out while preventing water from entering the vessel. It is designed to close automatically to prevent water from entering during waves or large swells.
Overview
Key Features
Angle Configuration: The valve is designed with an angled inlet and outlet, typically at 90 degrees to each other. This configuration allows for installation in tight spaces where straight-line valves might not fit.
Storm Protection: As the name suggests, these valves are used to prevent seawater ingress during storm conditions, ensuring the safety and integrity of the vessel.
Non-Return Function: They often include a non-return mechanism to prevent the backflow of water, which is critical in maintaining the stability and buoyancy of the ship.
