Plastic Threaded Check Valves
Plastic provides a lightweight alternative to metal. These valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses.
Glass-filled polypropylene valves are more corrosion resistant than PVC 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.
- For Use With: Air, Argon, Helium, Krypton, Neon, Water, Xenon
- Piston Material: Polypropylene Plastic
- Spring Material: 302 Stainless Steel
- Seal Material: Buna-N Rubber

Check Valves with Barbed Fittings
Barbs grip onto tubing, providing a secure hold. These valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses.
Polypropylene valves are more corrosion resistant than PVC or nylon 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.

High-Cycling Check Valves
With internal components that resist wear from frequent operation, these valves can cycle as often as once per second. Barbed fittings and unthreaded fittings grip onto tubing, providing a secure hold. All valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses.
Polypropylene valves are more corrosion resistant than nylon valves.
