About Backflow-Prevention Valves
More
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.

Compact Flange-Mount Check Valves
- For Use With: Air, Argon, Helium, Krypton, Neon, Water, Xenon
- Piston Material: 316 Stainless Steel
- Spring Material: 316 Stainless Steel
- Seal Material: Viton® Fluoroelastomer
Less than half the end-to-end length of standard flange-mount check valves, these can be installed between ANSI flanges in pipelines with limited clearance. ANSI flanges are sold separately. Valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses. All have a 316 stainless steel body for excellent corrosion resistance.
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.
