Core Advantage

  • Multiple structure types: API American Standard heavy-duty, energy-saving silent, lift type, vertical lift type – adaptable to different installation orientations and working conditions
  • Reliable backflow prevention: Disc opens and closes automatically, closes by gravity or spring assistance – achieving zero reverse flow protection
  • Energy-saving & silent: Slow-closing mechanism reduces water hammer, noise ≤ 60 dB, low pressure drop reduces pump system energy consumption
  • High pressure & high temperature resistance: Pressure up to Class 2500 (~4500 psi), temperature up to 650°C; cryogenic version down to -196°C
  • Excellent sealing performance: Metal-to-metal (Stellite hard-facing) or elastomeric seals (PTFE/EPDM/NBR/Viton) – extremely low leakage
  • Compact structure: Few moving parts, low failure rate, easy installation and maintenance
  • Rich material selection: Carbon steel (WCB), stainless steel (304/316L), alloy steel, cast iron, bronze, brass, PVC
  • Flexible installation: Supports horizontal or vertical (flow upward) installation; connection types include flanged, threaded, butt-weld, socket-weld, wafer

Application

Installed at pump outlets or on vertical pipelines to prevent media backflow when pumps stop or during pressure fluctuations, protecting pumps, compressors, and other equipment. Suitable for steam systems, water supply networks, fire protection systems, and chemical processes; selected models effectively reduce water hammer and operational noise.
