Mud Suction and Dump Valves—Purpose
• Suction valves are used to flow mud from one tank or compartment to another. These are tied into the suction lines on the mud pumps.
• Dump valves are used to drain or "dump" mud from the tanks.
Mud Suction and Dump Valves—Features
• Easily repaired and maintained.
• Tank does not have to be drained to work on the valves.
• Available in a wide range of sizes (6" to 16").
• Full bore / zero flow reduction.
• Spare parts in stock and ready to ship.
• Easily customizable in accordance with customer's needs.
• Welded pipe connections eliminate leak points that other flanged and threaded valve connections introduce.
•PATCO has been making valves for almost 50 years—proven and reliable.
Mud Suction and Dump Valves—Technical
• When welding during installation, raise the disc plunger and protect the seat. This will ensure that the o-ring and the seat are not damaged.
• All valves come zinc primed as they are usually installed in the tanks and then painted as part of the tank assembly.
• The proprietary o-ring groove on the disc plunger ensures that the o-ring remains in place and does not roll or get pulled off while under suction.
• Scalloped pip design ensures proper flow of fluid from the bottom of the tank.
