Component Specifications

Definition
The drain valve connection is a critical interface component in industrial trap systems, designed to provide a leak-proof, pressure-resistant connection between the drain valve and the trap body. It ensures proper alignment, sealing integrity, and mechanical stability during fluid discharge operations. This component typically features standardized threading, flanges, or quick-connect mechanisms to facilitate installation, maintenance, and compatibility with various valve types.
Working Principle
The drain valve connection operates by creating a sealed mechanical joint between the drain valve and trap body through threaded engagement, flange bolting, or compression fitting. It maintains system pressure integrity while allowing the drain valve to open/close for controlled fluid release. Proper torque application and gasket/seal compression ensure leak prevention under operational conditions.
Materials
Carbon steel (ASTM A105/A216), stainless steel (304/316), brass (C36000), or engineered plastics (PTFE, PVC) depending on fluid compatibility and pressure requirements. Gaskets: EPDM, Viton, or PTFE for sealing.
Technical Parameters
  • Size Range 1/4" to 2"
  • Connection Type NPT, BSP, Flange
  • Pressure Rating Up to 300 PSI
  • Thread Standards ANSI/ASME B1.20.1
  • Temperature Range -20°C to 150°C
Standards
ISO 1179, DIN 3852, ASME B16.11

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the common failure modes of drain valve connections?

Common failures include thread stripping, gasket degradation, corrosion, and improper torque leading to leaks or pressure loss.

How do I select the right material for a drain valve connection?

Consider fluid chemical compatibility, temperature, pressure, and environmental conditions (e.g., stainless steel for corrosive fluids, brass for general use).

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
