These valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses.

Nickel-plated brass valves are more corrosion resistant than plain brass or bronze valves.

316 stainless steel valves have the best corrosion resistance.

Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

High-Flow Threaded Check Valves

To achieve the maximum possible flow, internal components are designed to reduce flow resistance. These valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses. A removable cap provides easy access to internal components for maintenance.

316 stainless steel valves are more corrosion resistant than bronze valves.

Repair kits include everything you need to rebuild the valve.

Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

Threaded Two-Stage Backflow-Prevention Valves

With Unthreaded Vent, Male Inlet × Female Outlet

For Use With: Air, Water
Disc Material: EPDM Rubber
Seal Material: EPDM Rubber

For maximum protection from system contamination, these valves have two integral check valves with a vent between them. If the primary check valve fails to close when flow stops or reverses, overflow is discharged through the vent and the secondary check valve prevents backflow.

Chrome-plated brass valve is more corrosion resistant than plain brass valves.

Valve with an unthreaded vent is commonly used on laboratory faucets and other applications with intermittent flow. It discharges overflow directly and should not be installed in areas where spillage could cause water damage.

Vacuum-Breaking Valves

Also known as vacuum breakers, these valves have vents that open when pressure drops to relieve vacuum conditions and prevent backward suction from drawing liquid into upstream piping.

Chrome-plated bronze valves are more corrosion resistant than brass valves.

303 stainless steel valves have the best corrosion resistance.

Elbows are designed for intermittent flow. They discharge liquid directly and should not be installed in areas where spillage could cause damage.

Straights are often used with steam coils, heat exchangers, and space heaters.
