The CheckMate inline check valve (photo) is ideal for backflow prevention and odor mitigation. The valve’s unique elastomer fabric-reinforced design provides a proven record of maintenance-free performance and cost savings. The CheckMate has an extremely low headloss, so it can open to a near full pipe diameter, which maximizes the flow capacity of the outfall. The valve has a unibody construction, without mechanical components that can catch debris, corrode or fail. The valves are available in 4- to 72-in. sizes. — Tideflex Technologies, a div. of Red Valve Co., Carnegie, Pa.
