A host of check valves for trouble-free performance
This company’s Surgebuster, Dual Disc, Silent Check and Sure Seal Foot Valve check valves are highly engineered to provide long life and trouble-free performance. Engineers weigh the importance of slamming characteristics as one of the factors when selecting a check valve. All check valves are designed with non-slam characteristics, such as the seat angle of the Surgebuster. The Surgebuster also uses the addition of the Disc Accelerator to prevent slamming in the most severe applications. The compact wafer design has made the Dual Disc a popular choice when space is a concern. The short linear stroke and spring-return action of the Silent Check Valve combine to effectively eliminate surges and water hammer that can be associated with the sudden stoppage of a reverse flow. The versatile Foot Valve can provide positive seating action at both low and high pressure without slamming. — Val-Matic Valve & Manufacturing Corp., Elmhurst, Ill.
