The API valve produced by MGN Industrial Metal Ltd. has the following characteristics: 1. It is made of Viton material, which is highly corrosion resistant; 2. It is easy to install and can be completed in just 6 steps; 3. It complies with the NBR 16526 standard and is suitable for installation on road tankers.
The MGN API Valve with sight glass, product code 202014, is covered by this product manual from MGN Indústria Metalúrgica Ltda. The valve is made of aluminum, and the document identifies a Viton version. It gives installation steps: check flange flatness and hole alignment, clean pipe and valve faces, place the sealing gasket, install the valve to the piping, tighten screws in a cross pattern, test operation and tightness, check for leaks between flanges, empty the compartment and fit the protective cover.
For installation on a road tank, the manual refers to NBR 16526 and states that the dimension between valves must be greater than or equal to 260 mm and the distance from the API valve cover face to the tank side must be less than or equal to 152.4 mm; height from valve center to ground follows Table 01. Use and maintenance notes call for visual seal checks every 3 months or when seepage appears, an annual inspection with seal replacement if necessary using genuine seals, checking material compatibility with the transported product, avoiding solid residues inside the tank, and observing alignment and flange distance when an aluminum valve is connected to steel piping. This manual is written in Portuguese.
