All of our Dump Valves have undergone a series of flow tests to determine the exact GPM each valve will deliver. The test results for our valves are as follows:
- Our 1050 style Dump Valves, when tested, took 42 seconds to empty 2,500 gallons of water from a 4200 gallon tanker. Giving the 1050 style valve a flow rate of 3570 GPM (gallons per minute).
- Our 1010 style Dump Valves, when tested, took 51 seconds to empty 2,500 gallons of water from a 4200 gallon tanker. Giving the 1010 style valve a flow rate of 2,940 GPM.
- Our 1050 style dump valve in conjunction with a 6012SW & 4036-8x12, took 64 seconds to empty 2,500 gallons of water from a 4200 gallon tanker. Giving them a flow rate of 2,340 GPM.
- Our 7010 round Dump Valve took 64 seconds to empty 2,500 gallons of water from a 4200 gallon tanker. Giving the 7010 a flow rate of 2,340 GPM.
Please note: The following conditions can and will affect flow rates of your tank:
- Proper Ventilation
- Head Pressure
- Baffling inside the tank
- Tank configuration and size.
All of these flow tests where recorded and are available for viewing on our video page.
