Flange-Mount Check Valves
- For Use With: Air, Argon, Helium, Krypton, Neon, Water, Xenon
- Disc Material: Bronze
- Seal Material: Buna-N Rubber
Sandwich these valves between two ANSI flanges for backflow prevention at a fraction of the weight of flanged check valves and a reduced pipeline footprint. ANSI flanges are sold separately. All valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.
| Pipe Size  | Flow Coefficient (Cv) | Max. Pressure | Min. Opening Pressure, psi | Temperature Range, °F | End-to-End Lg. | For Flange Class | Each | |

Flanged Check Valves
- For Use With: Air, Steam, Water
- Disc Material:
Pipe Size 4 and smaller: Bronze
Pipe Size 5 and larger: Iron - Seal Material: Bronze
Bolt these valves to ANSI flanges. They open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses. All have a removable cap that provides easy access to internal components for maintenance.

Flange-Mount Check Valves for Drinking Water
- For Use With: Drinking Water
- Disc Material: 316 Stainless Steel
- Spring Material: 302 Stainless Steel
- Seal Material: EPDM Rubber
Sandwich these valves between ANSI flanges in drinking water pipelines. ANSI flanges are sold separately. Valves meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61, which designates them as safe to use with drinking water. All open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.
