4″ Rear Head Valve – Straight Flanged Outlet
The Betts’ Rear Head Valve is a manual external stop valve designed to handle the challenges of hot product transportation. The valve body is welded directly into the bottom of the tank at the rear head which allows the seat and surrounding area to be fully heated by the elevated temperature of the product.
Valve MAWP: 10 psig [.69 bar]
Minimum bursting pressure: 100 psig [6.9 bar]
Max. Temp. of Aluminum Valve: +400°F [204°C]
Max. Temp. of Steel Valve: +500°F [260°C]
The Rear Head Valve’s outward opening disc and unobstructed flow path is ideal for heavy, viscous, temperature-sensitive commodities. The stem and stem nut utilize ACME threads and a grease fitting for exceptional service life. The external packing gland allows for easy adjustment of the packing to ensure proper sealing. A caution label explaining the packing gland adjustment is included with the valve and should be located close to the valve in a conspicuous area of the tank. Steam jacket models are available and an optional piercing lance can be specified to aid flow by breaking away semi-solidified product heels.
