TIM-DEF-47 - RSV Downtube for 275 Gallon Totes

A downtube is the internal tube that extends from the valve fitting down to the bottom of the IBC tote, allowing fluid to be drawn from the base of the container rather than the top. Using the correctly sized downtube ensures full product evacuation and proper flow from the tote.

No — this downtube is specifically designed for 275-gallon IBC totes. A 330-gallon tote has a taller interior, so using this tube in a larger tote would leave product at the bottom that cannot be dispensed.

This is a MicroMatic RSV downtube, meaning it is engineered to work with MicroMatic RSV (Retrieval Suction Valve) dispensing assemblies. It is not designed for use with other brands' valve systems.

RSV stands for Retrieval Suction Valve, a MicroMatic valve design that allows the downtube to be inserted and removed from the top of the IBC without fully draining the tote first. This downtube is matched to the thread pattern and length specifications of that valve assembly.
