| New range of Drytyt dry disconnect couplings | |

| Drytyt tank unit and hose unit | |
| Fort Vale Engineering Ltd has developed a new range of “Drytyt” dry disconnect couplings for the safe transfer of odorous or hazardous liquids. |
|
| The new tank unit is fire-safe designed with a non-protruding poppet which does not impede the secondary valve. This enables it to be fitted to a ball valve or butterfly valve without the need for a spacer, reducing tare weight. Maintenance of the units is particularly easy since there are only two moving parts and only standard tools are needed. Genuine Fort Vale spare seals and consumables are available from a worldwide network of service centres and authorised stockists. Fort Vale Drytyt tank units and hose units are manufactured in industry standard sizes; 70mm, 105mm, 119mm and 164mm, and are fully compatible and interchangeable with Todo®, Mann-Tek® and Avery Hardoll® units. For added security, units can be supplied with “selective” connection. All units are manufactured in 316 stainless steel and a wide range of seal materials is available, depending upon cargo compatibility. Both threaded and flanged connections are available. A brand-new firesafe designed pressure-tight cap is available to suit the Drytyt range of tank units. The cap has an integral gasket which seals against the poppet making a gas-tight seal. Fort Vale couplings are already used throughout the Process, Chemical and Oil & Gas industries and are a proven design. The Drytyt couplers are ideal for use in many different applications and improve efficiency and safety with minimal residual losses. |
