MC306 and DOT406 containers are equipped with which discharge feature?

• A. Top outlet valve
• B. Side drain
• C. Bottom outlet valves
• D. Manual pump

Answer: (C)

Bottom discharge valves are the discharge feature on MC306 and DOT406 tanks. Placing the discharge connection at the bottom allows liquids to drain completely by gravity and be routed to a pump or hose with minimal residual product. This design is especially advantageous for viscous liquids and for achieving thorough unloading from a fixed, single discharge point. A top outlet would trap liquid in the lower portion of the tank; a side drain is not the standard configuration for these tanks, and a manual pump, while it may be used, is not an inherent, built‑in discharge feature.
