Thin Swing Check Valve (Cast Steel)

Thin wafer swing check valves are becoming the preferred type of check valve for many applications, due to their compact design and relatively low cost.

Benefits of using check valves in a fluid system:

To check the pressure surges associated with hydraulic forces, for example, waterhammer. These hydraulic forces can cause a wave of pressure to run up and down pipework until the energy is dissipated
Prevention of flooding
Prevention of reverse flow on system shutdown
Prevention of flow under gravity
Relief of vacuum conditions
