Curtis Valves standard designs are spring loaded closed. Valve springs are made from non-corrosive, long lasting stainless steel. Valve bodies and moving parts are manufactured to precise standards with low tolerances and are available in stainless steel, anodized aluminum, brass, and cadmium or nickel plated brass. Most seals are made of a specially compounded “cure dated” synthetic rubber to withstand a wide variety of liquids over a broad temperature range. Our valves use a wedge seal design which help to prevent leakage and improve seal life.
Curtis Valves offers a wide range of Flush Mount fuel drain valves for your aircraft needs. This design is spring loaded in the closed position and can be activated by simple hand tool operation or with fuel sampling cup CCA-39680. All Curtis Valves products are designed for long-lasting reliability you can depend on.
Note: This valve is typically used on the Cessna 208B (Grand Caravan), among other aircraft using the same valve length and thread size
