NEW PRODUCTS Civacon™ Debuts MaxAir™ II Emergency Valve Civacon™ has announced the release of its MaxAir™ II Emergency Valves. The new MaxAir II Emergency Valves have been designed for use in fuelhandling applications on tank trailers transporting products such as gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, ethanol and other typical petroleum products car- ried in aluminum DOT 406-style tankers. MaxAir II Emergency Valves have designed-in features such as a new externally ported air cylinder exhaust port, which uses three independent seals to completely isolate the air cylinder. The valves are outfitted with Viton® GFLT wetted seals and a standard Teflon®encapsulated seat, which make them compatible with a wide array of products. The valve's shearable air inlet fitting allows the valve to close, even if open, during an under-ride accident. A factory-installed fusible plug will melt at a temperature of 212ºF (100ºC), allowing the valve to dump air pressure in case of a fire. A stainless-steel jack screw is included to allow for manual operation in case of air-pressure loss. Civacon—Kansas City www.civacon.com January/February 2013
