Threaded Check Valves

A threaded check valve screws directly onto the pipe thread and allows the medium to pass in one direction only. When flow stops or reverses, the disc, spring or ball closes automatically and protects the line.
The group includes swing (hinged disc), spring, horizontal, vertical and ball types. Body options are brass, bronze, stainless steel, ductile iron and PVC-U.
Main Applications
- Preventing backflow on pump discharge lines
- Booster set and well pump outlets
- Boiler feed water and condensate lines
- Heating and ventilation circuits
- Compressed air lines and compressor outlets
- Ball types on waste water and drainage lines

The bronze swing column is from the spare parts list of the manufacturer datasheet. For the stainless spring and PVC-U ball types the body material is taken from product names; internal parts are confirmed with the product datasheet.
Advantages
Self Operating
- Needs no power or control.
- Closes the moment the flow direction changes.
Protects the Pump
- Reverse flow is prevented from turning the pump backwards.
- Holds pressure in the line on booster systems.
Wide Choice
- Type and material are selected for the medium.
- A ball type is chosen for waste water, a spring type for clean water.
Compact Installation
- The threaded joint needs no flanges.
- A 1/2″ bronze swing type is 58 mm long.
Construction and Design Features
- On the swing type the disc turns around a hinge pin and seats under its own weight.
- On the spring type the disc is pressed onto its seat by spring force.
- On the ball type the ball is pushed onto the seating surface by reverse flow and closes the line.
- An arrow on the body shows the flow direction.
- On the bronze swing type body and cover are cast from the same bronze alloy.
Send us the thread size, medium and installation orientation; we will choose the right check valve type together.
How to Choose?
- Define the mediumPrefer a spring type for clean water and air, a ball type for waste water with solids.
- Set the orientationA spring type suits vertical lines, a swing type suits horizontal lines.
- Check the temperatureChoose a bronze or stainless body on steam and condensate lines.
- Match the pressure classChoose the PN class at the pump outlet allowing for closing surge.
- Confirm the thread sizeSelect a check valve of the same size as the pipe thread to avoid reducers.
