O’Mara Y/K Valves are precision-built diverter valves designed to route grain, seed, and other dry bulk materials exactly where they need to go. Built for strength, smooth flow, and long service life, these valves help grain handling and seed processing facilities operate safely, efficiently, and with full control over material movement.
Whether you’re filling storage bins, feeding conveyors, or protecting against overfill, Y and K valves from O’Mara provide dependable flow direction season after season.
A Y valve or K-type valve is a gravity-fed or pneumatic grain diverter that directs dry, free-flowing material from a single inlet to either of two outlets.
They are commonly installed in:
These valves allow operators to choose the destination of material flow instantly without stopping the system, improving both productivity and plant flexibility.
Both valve styles provide reliable, controlled routing in modern bulk material handling systems.
Direct grain, seed, or feed to the correct bin, conveyor, or processing line without stopping production.
Keep product moving continuously through your facility, reducing handling time and bottlenecks.
K-type valves help prevent bin overflow, spillage, and product loss by automatically redirecting excess material.
Controlled flow reduces dust release, spillage, and cleanup, improving workplace safety.
Operators can switch destinations using:
This makes Y/K valves ideal for both simple and fully automated grain systems.
O’Mara Y/K valves are engineered for the abrasive, high-volume conditions found in agricultural and seed facilities.
Durable construction features include:
These design details ensure reliable performance during harvest, conditioning, and load-out.
Wherever dry bulk products must be directed accurately, Y/K valves play a critical role.
Proper valve geometry is essential for preventing plugging, product damage, and uneven distribution.
O’Mara valves are engineered to provide:
The result is better grain quality and fewer flow interruptions.
No two grain systems are identical. O’Mara designs Y/K valves to match:
Every valve is built to install cleanly and perform reliably from day one.
O’Mara equipment is designed, fabricated, and supported in the United States by a team with deep experience in:
From raw steel to final assembly, quality is controlled at every step, delivering durable equipment you can trust year after year.
