Sample Valve
Catalog number: SV3 - Price: $60

A Flextank exclusive this US designed and manufactured valve is loosely modeled after light aircraft fuel test valves. A spring loaded piston is depressed using the tool provided to allow wine to flow from the valve. The O ring seal is protected inside the body of the valve. When closed the wine track may be completely flushed with sulfur solution from the outside using a squeeze bottle. It may also be used for introducing sparging gas into the wine.

The original version of this valve incorporates the valve mechanism in a bulkhead fitting as shown. An alternate version in some new tank models retains the mechanism but screws into a molded in insert for more convenient installation and service removal.

Package pricing is available when drain and sample valves and a ferment lock are ordered together with a tank. (Cat. # AK1 and AK2)
