GUARD VALVE® Series

GUARD VALVE® Valve Series

The GUARD VALVE® series of products are designed for manual control of non-rising submerged cargo and ballast valves and give a clear indication of the valve position even from afar.

The main components are a heavy-duty stainless-steel handwheel, a deck stand with attached valve position indication and stuffing box, a reach rod and a stainless- steel yoke with appropriate sizes for direct fitting to the valve stem. All parts can be customized to meet any requirements.

The deck stand and associated valve position indication can be welded directly to the deck plate. If required, it can be fitted for a flanged connection (three or four inches). Unique features include a DELRIN® thrust bearing which eliminates weight and associated wear on the valve. And, with the sliding yoke assembly design, the valve can be replaced without lifting the reach rod assembly.

The simplicity, reliability, and low cost makes manual valve control the best method of valve control. This includes tank barges, larger ocean going types, and ATB tank barges.
