    Drain Valves

    Also known as stop cocks, install these valves on your tank for easy draining of air or fluid.
    Thumb-Screw Handle—Inline
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drain Valves. Drain Valves, Thumb-Screw Handle, Inline Handle.
    Valves with a thumb-screw handle open by rolling the slip-resistant thumb screw between your fingers. Since these valves don’t have a wide handle, they fit in tighter spaces than valves with other handle styles.
    Inline handles can be operated from any position. The handle surrounds the drain outlet, so liquids may splash onto your hands or the handle.
    External Seal—Valves with an external seal are for higher flow applications than valves with an internal seal. They also have a longer valve stem, so they’re less likely to introduce contaminants from exposed threads.
    Brass Handle—Brass handles won’t corrode.
    Brass Body—Valves with a brass body won’t corrode when venting air or draining water—even in wet or humid environments.

    Sanitary Sampling Valves

    Take liquid samples in sanitary environments—these sampling valves have a hygienic design, so they’re commonly used in breweries and wineries. With a body made of 316 stainless steel and a PTFE seat, they resist the high temperatures and harsh chemicals of clean-in-place (CIP) processes. These valves have an extremely smooth surface, leaving no space for bacteria to grow. Quick-clamp connections, also known as tri-clamp fittings, are easily taken apart for regular cleaning. These valves are self-draining, so previous samples and cleaning chemicals won’t contaminate future samples. Both the seat and the silicone O-ring comply with FDA standards for direct contact with food and beverage.
    To take samples, turn the thumb screw to open valves. Hang a bucket for sample collection from the bucket groove. Valves also have a leak detection port that will release a small amount of liquid to let you know when it’s time to replace all the valve seals.

    Quick Clamp Inlet — Bent with Tab Sampling Outlet Spout
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Sampling Valves. Sanitary Sampling Valves, Bent Spout with Tab.
    Valves with a bent spout have a tab for connecting carbon dioxide testing devices. They’re often used for carbonated beverages. They shouldn’t be used with liquids that have solids in them, such as the grape skins or seeds in wine, as those can get caught in the outlet.
