Valves & Actuation
Engineered and Flow Tested for Superior Performance
Designed for quick, positive seal-off with minimum turbulence, low restriction and maximum fluid transfer, this industrial-grade ball check valve is used in a wide variety of industrial and chemical processing applications.
Heavy-Bodied PVC or CPVC Construction
Spears True Union Ball Check Valves never rust, scale or pit, providing exceptional chemical and corrosion resistance. Strong buttress-type threads on the union nuts allow higher pressure-handling capability and quick in-line installation and servicing.
- Spears computer-engineered design provides superior fluid flow with minimum turbulence. Eliminates “chatter” often encountered in ball check valves.
- Maximum Internal Pressure of 235 psi at 73°F for the most demanding applications of 1/2" - 4" valves.
- All Spears True Union Ball Check Valves are NSF Certified for potable water use.
Design Features
This multi-purpose check valve provides an extremely low profile and very quick response to back flow without slamming. The special design requires no more space then a piece of pipe, and incorporates a flexible elastomer seal for long life, and is suitable for mounting in any position for greater versatility.
Technical Information
2" through 8" sizes are rated for 150 psi @ 73°F, 10" and 12" sizes are rated for 100 psi @ 73°F. As a general guideline, opening and closing pressures will range from .2 to .5 psi for horizontal applications. Opening pressures tend to decrease in large size valves. Valves installed in vertical up-flow applications will require slightly higher pressures.
