About Backflow-Prevention Valves

For Use With: Air, Nitrogen, Water
Ball Material: 304 Stainless Steel
Seal Material: See table

With a shorter end-to-end length than other check valves, these fit in tight spaces. They open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses.

303 stainless steel valves are more corrosion resistant than brass valves.

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.

Welding Gas Flashback Arresters for Regulators

Attach these arresters to the outlet connection of a regulator on a torch that cuts steel up to 11" thick. Arresters extinguish flames and have a check valve to stop reverse gas flow. They are reusable; resetting is not required after flashback.

Arresters with right-hand threads are for use with oxygen; arresters with left-hand threads are for use with acetylene, hydrogen, and propane.
