Design Features
Retainer less design eliminates fugitive Emissions. Is firesafe by design.
A more compact Light weight design Is 80 to 90% lighter than conventional full-body swing check valves.
Simplifies piping for an easier, less costly installation. Optimum space utilization for simplified piping.
Spring-loaded, dual plate design has Very low cracking pressure.
Discs open 85° to ensure a low pressure drop.
Positive sealing under most operating conditions. The valve closes before the flow reverses at zero velocity.
With the spring assisted closing, water Hammer is all but eliminated.
By design the valve is inherently non-slamming. This is due to the plates closing before the media flow reverses.
The Wafer check valve can be installed in the horizontal and vertical up positions. For vertical down installations please contact WELCO.
