Product Selection Differences for Disc Type Drain Valves, Rising and Lowering

When selecting disc type drain valves, whether rising or lowering, there are several key differences to consider:

  1. Operation Mechanism:

    • Rising disc type drain valves operate by raising the disc to open the valve and lowering it to close. This design offers a positive shutoff mechanism.
    • Lowering disc type drain valves work by lowering the disc to open the valve and raising it to close. This design provides a more gradual and controlled flow adjustment.

  2. Flow Control:

    • Rising disc valves typically provide better flow control due to the linear and more direct opening and closing mechanism.
    • Lowering disc valves offer finer adjustments in flow rates due to the incremental nature of lowering the disc.

  3. Maintenance:

    • Rising disc valves may require more maintenance as the rising and lowering mechanism can be more prone to wear and tear over time.
    • Lowering disc valves may have simpler maintenance requirements due to the more straightforward design.

  4. Applications:

    • Rising disc valves are commonly used in applications where precise flow control is critical, such as in industrial processes or water treatment systems.
    • Lowering disc valves are suitable for applications where gradual adjustments in flow rates are required, such as in HVAC systems or irrigation systems.

  5. Pressure Ratings:

    • Both rising and lowering disc valves are available in different pressure ratings to suit various industrial requirements. It's important to select the type that meets the pressure conditions of your specific application.

  6. Material Compatibility:

    • Consider the material of construction for the disc type drain valves based on the fluid being handled to ensure compatibility and prevent corrosion or erosion issues.

  7. Size and Configuration:

    • Select the appropriate size and configuration of the disc type drain valve based on the flow rate, pressure, and installation requirements of your system.

By considering these key differences, you can make an informed decision on selecting the most suitable disc type drain valve - rising or lowering - for your specific needs.
