About Backflow-Prevention Valves

Shown with Flanges (Not Included)

For Use With: Air, Argon, Helium, Krypton, Neon, Water, Xenon
Disc Material: Bronze
Seal Material: Buna-N Rubber

Sandwich these valves between two ANSI flanges for backflow prevention at a fraction of the weight of flanged check valves and a reduced pipeline footprint. ANSI flanges are sold separately. All valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses.

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.

Plastic Socket-Connect Check Valves

Also known as backwater valves, these valves prevent backflow of sewage and wastewater in drain, waste, and vent systems. Insert unthreaded pipe into the socket ends and bond with primer and cement to create a permanent, leak-tight connection. 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.

Flange-Mount Check Valves for Drinking Water

Shown with Flanges (Not Included)

For Use With: Drinking Water
Disc Material: 316 Stainless Steel
Spring Material: 302 Stainless Steel
Seal Material: EPDM Rubber

Sandwich these valves between ANSI flanges in drinking water pipelines. ANSI flanges are sold separately. Valves meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61, which designates them as safe to use with drinking water. All open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses.

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.

Flange-Mount Check Valves for Oil and Fuel

Shown with Flanges (Not Included)

For Use With: Butane, Diesel Fuel, Fuel Oil, Gasoline, Kerosene, Natural Gas, Oil, Propane
Disc Material: 316 Stainless Steel
Seal Material: 316 Stainless Steel

Install these valves between ANSI flanges. ANSI flanges are sold separately. All valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses. Body is 316 stainless steel for excellent 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.
