Bestobell launches new stainless steel fill maifold

Bestobell – the original pioneer of the manifold concept for cryogenic fill valves – has launched a new stainless steel manifold for cryogenic storage tanks enabling the use of either globe or gate valves within the fill manifold.

Kevin Fretwell, Bestobell Valves’ Technical Director, said: “We’ve extended our range of existing manifolds by launching a new stainless steel version in line with the general shift away from bronze in the industrial gas market, and in response to customer demand.

“This design offers unique flexibility, and will lead to reduced fill times and therefore reduced costs.”

Bestobell pioneered the manifold concept for cryogenic fill valves for storage tanks in the 1990s. The company’s original design is the basis for every manifold valve unit on the market today.

Up until now Bestobell fill manifolds have been constructed from bronze valves and copper pipes or stainless pipes. This new version allows for both piping and valving to be constructed in stainless steel. The headworks for the fill valves utilise the well-proven Bestobell loose flange design.

Depending on individual customers’ preference, the fill manifold can be supplied fitted with the unique Bestobell gate valves instead of globe valves. The benefits of this are faster tank filling times and the elimination of the icing problems that are sometimes experienced with globe valves.
