It uses an internal air cylinder to open the poppet, allowing product flow, and has a shear section that automatically slams the valve shut if the downstream piping is torn away in an under‑ride accident. A fusible plug dumps air pressure if the valve exceeds 212°F, providing fire protection. The 'Tee' design refers to the grooved outlet, and the integrated sump mounting enables installation at the lowest point of the tank for complete draining. Typical replacement reasons include damage from a shear event, seat leakage, or air cylinder failure that prevents the valve from opening or sealing.
