It features a 5-inch inlet by 4-inch outlet, straight-through flow path, and flanged connections with an internal air operator and external exhaust. This valve stops product flow if the trailer is damaged, incorporating a frangible shear groove and a heat-sensitive fusible plug for fire protection. It is compatible with diesel, gasoline, biodiesel, ethanol, methanol, and crude oil, and includes a mechanical jack screw for manual operation if air pressure is lost.
