Hood oil drain valve KP-DV-30-IX
Item no. KP-DV-30-IX · EAN 2010000047958
- made of AISI-304 stainless steel
In brief
- The KP-DV-30-IX valve is made of AISI-304 stainless steel – the same class as the mesh of the KP-FSI filter.
- It is fitted at the lowest point of the hood gutter, where the grease running off the filters collects.
- Operation comes down to placing a vessel underneath and opening the valve; the gutter does not have to be removed.
- In a hood with a collecting gutter this is the only point where the oil leaves the housing in a controlled way.

Hood oil drain valve KP-DV-30-IX – how to choose the right one
The KP-DV-30-IX oil drain valve is used to empty the gutter of a catering hood of the grease collected from the filters. It is made of AISI-304 stainless steel, resistant to hot grease and to degreasing agents.
Without the valve, the contents of the gutter are taken out with a cloth or a removable cup, usually while standing under the hood. With a full gutter this ends in drips on the cooking surface and on the floor. A tap with a spout turns the job into a simple pour into a closed container.
When fitting into an existing hood, the bottom of the gutter is what counts: the valve only makes sense at its lowest point, so if the sheet has no fall, some of the grease will stay inside regardless of the tap. It is worth checking this with a spirit level before the hole is made.
How a baffle filter differs from a mesh one – we explained it in the selection guide for this category.
Where it works
- Wall-mounted hoods with a gutter running along the whole cooking line
- Island hoods with two gutters, each of which needs its own drain
- Stations with a fryer and a griddle, where most grease runs off
- Replacing a seized, leaking tap in a hood already in service
FAQ

Ask a questionHow often is the gutter emptied?
Before the level reaches the edge – in practice every time the filters are taken down. Pouring off warm grease goes faster than scooping out grease that has set over the weekend.
What should be done with the drained oil?
It is collected into a closed container and handed over for collection together with used frying oil. It does not go into the sink, because it sets in the pipework and loads the grease separator.
Does the valve fit every hood?
It fits wherever the gutter has a prepared hole or one can be made. Before ordering you need to check the diameter and the thickness of the sheet at the mounting point, and with a hood from another manufacturer also whether there is room for a vessel under the gutter.
