Ball Check Valve

How It Works

Simple, reliable backflow prevention mechanism

🔵 Free-Moving Ball Design

The ball is the only moving part. It unseats to permit flow in one direction but seals against the seat to prevent backflow. Simple, effective, and reliable operation with minimal maintenance requirements.

Premium Features

🔵

Single Moving Part

Ball is the only moving part, ensuring simplicity, reliability, and minimal maintenance.

↔️

Versatile Installation

May be installed vertically or horizontally for flexible application requirements.

🔧

True Union Design

True union design (1/2" - 2") allows easy removal without cutting piping for maintenance.

💎

Uniseat/Seal Design

Integrated uniseat/seal in EPDM or FKM provides reliable sealing performance.

Full Vacuum Rated

All sizes rated for full vacuum service for demanding applications.

🔒

Low Shut-Off Pressure

Minimum shut-off of only 5 PSI ensures reliable backflow prevention.

🏗️

Solid Thermoplastic Ball

Durable solid thermoplastic ball construction ensures long service life.

🔄

Foot Valve Option

Also available as foot valve for suction side of pump applications.

Key Advantages

Simple Operation

Only one moving part means simple, reliable operation with minimal failure points.

🔧

Easy Maintenance

True union design allows quick access for inspection and maintenance without system disassembly.

🌡️

Chemical Resistance

Multiple body material options (PVC, CPVC, PP, PVDF) for diverse chemical environments.

📐

Flexible Mounting

Vertical or horizontal installation provides flexibility in system design.

💪

Corrosion Resistant

Thermoplastic construction eliminates corrosion concerns in aggressive environments.

🔄

Multiple Configurations

Available in socket, threaded, flanged, and butt end connections for system compatibility.
