Self Closing Lever Globe Valve / Flushing Valve

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.
