JIS Marine Self-closing Valve

JIS Marine Self-closing Valve


IS Marine Self-closing Valve is a self-operated marine valve designed according to Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) for ship piping systems.

The valve is equipped with an automatic closing mechanism that returns the valve to the closed position after operation, helping prevent unintended fluid leakage and improving onboard safety.

JIS Marine Self-closing Valve is commonly installed in:

  • Fuel oil systems

  • Lubricating oil systems

  • Tank sounding systems

  • Drainage systems

  • Marine auxiliary pipelines

  • Ship machinery systems

The self-closing function makes the valve especially suitable for applications where temporary opening is required and automatic shut-off protection is necessary.

Overview

Working Principle of JIS Marine Self-closing Valve

JIS Marine Self-closing Valve operates through a spring-loaded or weight-assisted closing mechanism.

When the valve is manually opened, the internal disc moves away from the seat, allowing fluid flow.

After the operating force is released:

  1. The spring or weight mechanism activates.

  2. The stem returns to the original position.

  3. The disc moves toward the valve seat.

  4. The flow passage closes automatically.

  5. Leakage and unnecessary discharge are prevented.
