Scour valves are located at low points or between valve sections of the pipeline to allow periodic flushing to remove sediment and to drain the line for maintenance and repair. A scour valve should be sized for a minimum scour velocity of 0.6 m/s in the main pipe; a gate valve or sluice valve is used in combination with a scour tee for this application.
