Lever Operated Diaphragm Balanced

Lever-Operated Liquid Dump Valves are a reliable, zero-emissions product designed to dump liquid from oil and gas production vessels such as separators, treaters, and free water knockouts.

In a Lever-Operated Diaphragm Balanced Liquid Dump Valve, the upstream and downstream pressures used to balance the forces on the trim are separated by a diaphragm.

Since this valve is mechanically-operating, it is a great option to help producers meet their emissions standards.
