SELF CLOSING VALVE VOYAGE MARINE Automatic Shut-Off Protection

The SELF CLOSING VALVE VOYAGE MARINE (commonly known as a spring-loaded drain or sounding valve) is a high-reliability marine safety valve designed for automatic, immediate shut-off upon release of the operator lever. Configured in an Angle Type body pattern, this valve prevents accidental discharge, overflow, or fuel leakage in marine engine rooms, oil storage tanks, and fluid sampling lines.

Manufactured in accordance with international marine engineering standards—including BS 1873 and ASME B16.34—the SELF CLOSING VALVE VOYAGE MARINE undergoes rigorous seat leakage and shell pressure testing per API 598 and BS 5146 standards. Available in nominal sizes up to 100 mm (with custom dimensions above 100 mm supplied directly via Voyage Marine Automation), it is engineered for heavy-duty marine service across aggressive environments.

Key Features of the SELF CLOSING VALVE VOYAGE MARINE

• Fail-Safe Automatic Closure: Heavy-duty internal spring mechanism ensures the valve automatically returns to the fully closed position the instant the manual lever is released.

• Space-Saving Angle Pattern: 90-degree right-angle flow configuration ideal for direct mounting on oil tank bottoms, sounding pipes, and drain manifolds.

• Global Marine Compliance: Designed to BS 1873 and ASME B16.34 standards to satisfy classification society safety requirements (e.g., DNV, ABS, LR, RINA).

• API 598 & BS 5146 Certified: 100% factory pressure and seat tightness tested for leak-proof isolation on oil and water lines.

• Robust Marine Metallurgy: Available in corrosion-resistant alloys—Gunmetal (GM), Nickel Aluminium Bronze (NAB), Stainless Steel (CF8/CF8M), and Cast Steel (WCB)—to prevent valve stem binding or internal scaling.

Primary Applications

• Engine Room Oil Tanks: Daily service tank drains, settling tank sampling points, and sludge tank drainage

• Shipboard Sounding Systems: Sounding pipe self-closing cocks and level gauge isolation

• Auxiliary Fluid Lines: Bilge water sampling, lube oil collection headers, and deck drain points
