Submerged Discharge Valve

Maximum Silence

The Submerged Discharge Valve — also known as a Vertical Sleeve Valve — is engineered for quiet, controlled subsurface discharge in dams, reservoirs, and other critical water release applications.

This low-noise hydraulic valve delivers a compact footprint with minimal downstream disturbance, making it especially effective in locations where space constraints and noise sensitivity are operational priorities. Its ability to maintain flow while remaining submerged enables safe and efficient emergency drawdown during high-risk or flood scenarios.

The valve’s sleeve-type modulation ensures smooth operation under variable pressure conditions, while its fully submerged configuration limits cavitation and acoustic resonance — supporting infrastructure longevity and environmental compliance.
