Self Closing Lever Globe Valve / Flushing Valve
A marine self-closing lever valve is a manually operated valve featuring a spring-loaded lever mechanism that automatically returns to the closed position once the operator releases the lever. These valves are essential in scenarios where a brief, controlled release or sampling of fluids is required — particularly in marine settings to ensure safety and protect the environment.
Purpose of a Self-Closing Lever Valve
- Enables controlled manual release or draining of liquids.
- Safeguards against accidental or unattended open positions.
- Commonly utilised in:
- Fuel and oil drain lines
- Tank sampling points
- Bilge or sludge drains
- Lube oil system drains
We supply self-closing lever globe valves and flushing valves from several leading manufacturers. Please get in touch with us for your specific requirements.
