DVU Series

Dump Valves

Designed for gas compressor scrubbers, the DVU Series can be used to dump any liquids compatible with its materials of construction. These pneumatically controlled dump valves pair with FW Murphy’s level controllers, feature a soft seat valve and manual valve operator.

  • For separators/scrubbers to 2000 psi (13.8 MPa) [138 bar] working pressure
  • Can dump any liquids compatible with its materials of construction
  • Hex union allows plug-and-seat replacement without piping removal
  • Operates on 30–70 psi (207–483 kPa) [2.07–4.83 bar] control pressure

The DVU Series features pneumatically controlled dump valves. The valves open and close automatically by pneumatic control from an FW Murphy level controller and dump valve operator. Diaphragm actuated, the DVU series dump valves operate at 30–70 psi (207–483 kPa) [2.07–4.83 bar] and up to 2000 psi (13.8 MPa) [138 bar] vessel pressure (depending on the model).

A key benefit of this design is a hex union that provides the ability to replace the seat without removing the valve from piping.

Designed for gas compressor scrubbers, the DVU Series can be used to dump any liquids compatible with its materials of construction.

DVU Selection Guide – The DVU Selection Guide selects the appropriate dump valve model for the user using a series of calculations. This calculation is obtained after the user inputs application information such as diameter of vessel, duration of dump cycle, vessel pressure and pressure at outlet of DVU.
