Description:

The Tank Bottom Valve, also known as Y-Type Bottom Outlet Valve, Drain Valve,

or Flush Tank Valve, is designed for installation at the lowest point of tanks,

vessels, or reactors to ensure complete drainage with minimal dead space.

The Y-shaped body design allows the disc to open inside the tank, providing

unobstructed flow, easy cleaning, and effective CIP/SIP sterilization.

This valve is widely used in pharmaceutical, food & beverage, chemical,biotechnology,

and cosmetics industries, where hygiene, safety, and operational efficiency are critical.

 

Main Features:

Full Drainage Design – Minimizes dead space and prevents material buildup.

Multiple Operation Types – Available in manual, pneumatic, or electric actuation.

Flexible End Connections – Flanged, butt weld, socket weld, tri-clamp, threaded,

or direct-weld tank nozzle.

Wide Material Options – Stainless steel, duplex steel, Hastelloy, titanium, and more.

Hygienic & Industrial Grades – Meets FDA, USP Class VI, and 3-A sanitary standards (optional).

High-Temperature & High-Pressure Capability – Up to +400°C and Class 300.

Key Features – Tank Bottom Valve (Y-Type / Drain Valve)
