Precautions for Installation of Wafer Check Valves

On this page

The wafer check valve is an automatic valve, which is automatically opened and closed by the force generated by the flow of the medium in the pipeline. It has the advantages of light weights, small volumes and easy installation. The function of the wafer check valve is to allow the medium to flow in one direction only and prevent the flow in the opposite direction.

Precautions for Installation of Wafer Check Valves
1. During installation, it should be noted that the passing direction of the wafer check valve should be consistent with the flow direction of the fluid.
2. Avoid adding pipe joints and obstructions within the operating radius of the valve plate.
3. Do not install a reducer in front of or behind the wafer check valve.
4. When installing the wafer check valve near the elbow, pay attention to preserving enough space.
