Our wafer type dual plate check valve is a lightweight and versatile solution for preventing backflow in your pipeline. Its compact, space-saving design fits easily between flanges, offering a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional check valves. With its dual-plate mechanism, this valve provides quick, reliable shut-off and is an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
How It Works: Streamlined and Effective
The wafer check valve's design is engineered for both simplicity and performance. It consists of two spring-loaded plates that fold inwards to allow forward flow. When the flow stops or reverses, the plates are immediately propelled shut by the springs and the back pressure, preventing backflow. This rapid closing action helps to prevent water hammer and protect downstream equipment.
- Space-Saving Design: The slim, "wafer" style fits snugly between flanges, significantly reducing the valve's footprint and weight compared to full-body swing check valves.
- Low Pressure Drop: When fully open, the dual-plate design allows for a clear, unobstructed flow path, which minimizes pressure drop and improves system efficiency.
- Rapid Response: The spring-loaded mechanism ensures the valve closes quickly, which is crucial for preventing water hammer and protecting sensitive equipment.
Key Features & Benefits
This valve is built with durability and ease of use in mind, offering significant advantages for your system.
- Cost-Effective: Its compact design uses less material, resulting in a lower purchase price and reduced shipping and installation costs.
- Versatile Installation: The valve can be installed in both horizontal and vertical pipelines, providing flexibility for your piping system.
- Corrosion Resistance: Available in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, to ensure it stands up to a wide range of corrosive media.
