Weight Operated Dump Valves

Weight-Operated Dump Valves are ideal for zero-emissions level control in heater treaters and saltwater disposal systems. This valve actuates based on the hydrostatic pressure generated from the column of liquid in the discharge piping from the vessel. The height of water column can be field adjusted by moving the weight on the arm in or out and ranges from 2 ft to 4 feet, with options up to 12 feet.
