Check Valves with Solder-Connect Fittings
- For Use With: Steam, Water
- Disc Material: Bronze
- Seal Material: Bronze
Solder these valves to copper tubing for a permanent, leak-tight connection. 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.
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-Flow Threaded Check Valves
To achieve the maximum possible flow, internal components are designed to reduce flow resistance. These valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses. A removable cap provides easy access to internal components for maintenance.
Repair kits include everything you need to rebuild the valve.
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.

Clear-View Socket-Connect Check Valves
- For Use With: Air, Water
- Piston Material: PVC Plastic
- Seal Material: EPDM Rubber
Visually inspect flow and debris accumulation through the transparent valve body. Insert unthreaded pipe into the socket ends and bond with primer and cement to create a permanent, leak-tight connection. These valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses. They have a removable cap that provides easy access to internal components for maintenance.
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.

Socket-Connect Check Valves for Harsh Chemicals
Insert unthreaded pipe into the socket ends and bond with primer and cement to create a permanent, leak-tight connection. These valves have a plastic body and a fluoroelastomer seal for excellent chemical resistance. They 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.
