6″ × 4″ Aluminum Tapered Seat Emergency Valve – External Air – Sraight

  • Air Operated
  • Stainless Trim
  • Teflon Encapsulated Seals

Betts High Flow Emergency valves provide increased flow rates compared to 4” emergency valves. Valves feature Teflon encapsulated seals for compatibility with a wide range of products and a special lift mechanism for smooth operation. Body is constructed of aluminum with stainless steel trim. Shear section tested per TTMA RP84 and meets 49CFR178.345-8.

Air operated valves are provided with an external air cylinder to help prevent gasoline or other products from contaminating the air supply. The air cylinder is hard-coated aluminum with a polished stainless steel shaft. Cylinders have 1/8” NPT port for air connection and are supplied with a fusible plug installed.

Available in Long-Radius and Short-Radius elbows. Use the Long-Radius for maximum flow or use the Short-Radius where clearance for piping is restricted.

Left-hand valves are available with air cylinder or cable lever arm on opposite side of valve as shown at right. Add suffix –005 for left-hand option. Add suffix –004 for optional screen.
