Push Button Drain Valve
A marine push button drain valve is a manually operated, spring-loaded valve specifically designed to swiftly drain fluids—typically water, condensate, or small quantities of fuel/oil—from equipment or systems aboard ships. These valves are frequently found in locations where regular and controlled draining is essential, such as air reservoirs, filters, fuel systems, and low points in piping.
Purpose of a Push Button Drain Valve
- Quickly release accumulated liquids (e.g., condensate or water) from:
- Air tanks and compressors
- Fuel or oil filters
- Engine cooling systems
- Pipe drains or low-point drains
- Prevent system contamination or corrosion caused by trapped water

FSLPDDW - Double Way Rupture Discs
The FSLPDDW Double Way Rupture Discs are sophisticated composite conventional discs constructed from four key components: a slotted, perforated metal section, a sealing membrane (typically made from PTFE, but also available in various metallic and non-metallic materials), a protective section, and a calibration ring. Designed to be installed between flanges, these discs are ideal for use with gases and liquids in static conditions, particularly at low pressures. The FSDIFDW discs promptly react to excessive pressure, achieving complete opening within milliseconds, making them an excellent choice for valve protection. Vacuum or counter-pressure support options are also available. Additionally, composite rupture discs offer simultaneous protection from both pressure and vacuum.
