The Duo-Chek II wafer valve design
is generally stronger, lighter, smaller, more efficient
and less expensive than conventional swing check valves.
Its design meets API 594 which is provides much smaller
face to face dimension and 15% to 20% the weight, on
most popular sizes. This makes the valve less expensive
than a swing check valve. It is also much easier to
install between standard gaskets and line flanges. The
savings are compounded during installation due to the
ease of handling.
High
Performance Non-Slam Check Valve
One of the most significant elements of piping system
design is integrating the means to protect mechanical
equipment and prevent damage caused by backflow. Backflow
prevention is routinely achieved through the use of
swing check valves or dual-plate check valves. Noz-Chek
valves are specifically designed for fast-reversing
systems where backflow is a constant concern. In such
critical service applications, Noz-Chek Non-Slam Check
Valves offer the following benefits.
Minimizes the damaging effects
of water hammer in fluid systems
Removal of chatter associated with
conventional valves in reciprocating compressor service
Protects rotating equipment from
damage due to flow reversal
