Marine Screw Down Vertical Storm Valve
Marine screw down vertical storm valve is a type of valve used in maritime applications to prevent the backflow of fluids, particularly during storm conditions. This valve type is specifically designed for vertical installation and features a screw-down mechanism for secure sealing.
Overview
Features
Vertical Configuration: Designed for vertical installation, which is often required in ship systems where space and orientation are critical factors.
Screw Down Mechanism: The valve uses a screw-down mechanism where the valve disc is lowered onto the seat by turning a handwheel. This ensures a tight seal and prevents backflow.
Storm Protection: These valves are particularly effective in preventing the ingress of seawater during storms, thereby protecting the vessel’s internal systems and maintaining buoyancy.
Non-Return Function: Acts as a non-return valve to prevent the reverse flow of water, essential for maintaining proper system operations.
