(5) Provide unidirectional flow and tight shut-off for liquids and gases with high reliability. When differential drops below cracking pressure*, valve shuts off. (Not for use as relief valve.)
Materials: 316 Stainless Steel: body, cover, poppet and cover gland. 300 Series Stainless Steel: spring Standard O-ring: Viton, for operation to 500° F (260°C). Buna-N or Teflon available for 250°F (121°C) or 400°F (204°C) respectively; specify when ordering.
Cracking Pressure: 20 psi (1.38 bar) ±30%. Springs for higher cracking pressures (up to 100 psi (6.89bar)) available on special order for O-ring style check valves only.
Minimum operating temperature for standard o-ring check valves 0°F (17.8°C). For ...
(4) Prevent reverse flow where leak-tight shut-off is not mandatory. When differential drops below cracking pressure, valve closes. With all-metal components, valve can be used up to 1200°F (649°C). See Technical Information section for connection temperature limitations. (Not for use as a relief valve.)
Ball and poppet are an integral design to assure positive, in-line seating without “chatter”. Poppet is designed essentially for axial flow with minimum pressure drop.
Materials: 316 Stainless Steel: body, cover, cover gland, ball poppet, cover gland. 300 Series Stainless Steel: spring
Minimum operating temperature for standard ball check valves -110° (-79°C). For low temperature option ...
Vertical Installation: Since this type of check valve employs a non-spring loaded ball, valve MUST be installed in VERTICAL position with arrow on valve body pointing UP. (cover gland up).
Resetting Valve: Equalize the pressure across the ball. The ball will drop and reset automatically.
Caution: While testing has shown O-Rings to provide satisfactory service life, both cyclic and shelf life may vary widely with differing service conditions, properties of ...
