Penn-Troy - Stainless Steel Mud Valves
The valve should be mounted to a standard 125-lb. flange. The mud valve should be recessed so that the top of the valve flange is flush with the floor to allow complete drainage. The mounting surface must be flat and free of debris. Also, remove any scaling near the inside diameter of the drain line before the valve is installed. Precaution must be taken during installation to prevent damage to the machined seat in the frame from heavy grit (concrete, etc.) to prevent gouging of the machined seat face. Consider using a blind flange as a place holder for your mud valve while pouring concrete to avoid splatter on the mud valve.
1. Guaranteed against galling for the life of the valve.
We use two dissimilar metals, a hard and a soft stainless steel, to repel galling completely.
2. Valves are 3rd party tested by an ACLASS accredited ISO certified lab.
The test results were so convincing, we guarantee the stem against galling for the life of the valve!
3. All components are cast in 316 stainless steel.
The valve’s construction has been proven to resist corrosion over long periods of time.
4. Stem is made of rolled ACME threads.
As opposed to cut threads, our rolled thread stems are harder and have reduced stress concentrations for better valve longevity.
5. Plug stem utilizes hydraulic relief slots.
This critical feature allows any sludge to drain out so your valve won’t jam.
6. Plug body contains no through holes.
To put it simply, no holes means less opportunities for leaks.
7. Grout pocket enables tanks to empty completely.
Unique to our stainless steel design, the grout pocket allows grout to be flush with the drain hole, enabling tanks to empty completely. No other valve on the market has this feature!
