4″ Aluminum Internal Air Emergency Valve (3″ Air Cylinder) – Tee
Betts internal air emergency valve meets HM183 requirements for an internal self-closing stop valve. Body is constructed of aluminum and incorporates a shear section that satisfies 49CFR178.345-8 tested per TTMA RP 84. The 1/8” NPT air inlet is designed to shear and close the valve in the event of an under-ride accident. A fusible plug is installed to dump air pressure if temperatures exceed 212°F.ŧŧ Valve uses Teflon® encapsulated seals for compatibility with a wide range of products. Other seal options are also available. Internal air cylinder saves space on exterior of valve providing maximum clearance for piping. Valve is equipped with stainless steel jackscrew that allows for manual operation in the event of an air system failure.
The Maximum Operating Pressure is defined as the maximum tank pressure that valve can open against w/ given air line pressure. Maximum Operating Pressure is 18 psi with 80 psi line pressure and 25 psi with 100 psi line pressure. The Valve MAWP is 35 psi [2.4 bar] and the Minimum Bursting Pressure is 140 psi [9.7 bar].

| * Valves shown are test valves. Actual valves may vary due to service conditions **Last two letters of part number designate seal material. See material table for seal options. ŧŧFusible plug melts at 212°F [100°C]. If valve is subject to higher temperatures, the fusible plug must be relocated to isolate fusible from heat. CAUTION: Valve must be properly installed and maintained. Never bottom load through the emergency valve without the first opening valve. Failure to do so may result in damage to the tank and/or valve. |
