Weapons Handling Marine Valve

Reliable, shock-resistant weapons handling valve for torpedo tube isolation in extreme marine environments.

Weapons Handling Marine Valve

The Weapons Handling Valve is engineered for rapid and reliable isolation of torpedo tubes in extreme marine environments. Featuring a fail-safe spring return actuator, it ensures immediate shutdown if hydraulic supply is lost. Its highly shock-resistant design meets stringent military requirements, while the full-bore top entry configuration allows easy maintenance without removing downstream pipework. Designed for submarines, the valve is space-saving and mounts directly onto the torpedo tube. Constructed from nickel aluminium bronze (NAB) and titanium, it withstands pressures per requirement and operates in temperatures from -20°C to 225°C, delivering silent, anti-cavitation performance in demanding applications.
