Check valve design promotes smooth water flow
The Swing Check Valve (photo) has rugged construction and full flow area for industrial and municipal water and wastewater applications. Its smooth, unrestricted design can provide significant savings in pumping costs over other check valves with reduced ports. Several closure options are available, including Lever and Weight, Air Cushion, and Lever and Spring, allow the valve to be used effectively in a wide range of pumping system applications. Metal-to-metal seating is also available with reliable operation under harsh conditions. These valves are designed, built and tested for compliance with ANSI/AWWA C508, NSF/ANSI 61, NSF/ANSI 372, and MSS SP-71/MSS-SP-136, according to the company. — Val-Matic Valve & Manufacturing Corp., Elmhurst, Ill.
