Our wafer disc check valve does not need to be in a specific position. This is because, unlike the swing clapper valve, it does not operate by gravity. Our disc check valve has a spring manufactured with a certain level of rigidity that is responsible for supporting a single plug or disc that is placed above the closing ring and when liquid, generally water, reaches it, its pressure is responsible for overcoming the resistance of the spring and the fluid can pass in that direction. But if the fluid tries to go back and circulate in the opposite direction, it cannot due to the action of the spring.
It is a spring-loaded valve that allows flow in only one direction, prevents damage due to backflow and can be easily mounted for use in low pressure applications, in process lines, water systems, steam, gas and oil systems.
Constructed entirely of stainless steel, it has good performance, long life, and a compact, lightweight design, making it suitable for a wide range of applications where space and weight are important.
