Carbon Steel Swing Check Valve – Wafer‑Type

A wafer‑type swing check valve constructed from carbon steel, designed for cost‑effective backward‑flow protection in systems where full flanges may not be required. Ideal for installation between companion flanges with minimal footprint.

Technical Data:

• Body: Carbon steel (commonly A216 WCB or equivalent) providing structural strength in process systems.

• Seat/trim: Hardened or metal seat option depending on size; swing disc mounted on hinge for simple motion.

• Connection: Wafer‑type body designed to fit between flanges (not full flange ends) — reduces weight and cost.

• Pressure rating: PN16 ( 16 bar ).

• Temperature range: EPDM 0°C to 130°C, NBR 0°C to 95°C, Viton 0°C to 200°C, PTFE 0°C to 200°C

Key Features:

• Wafer design lowers weight and installed cost while providing full non‑return functionality.

• Carbon steel construction suits a broad range of industrial fluids and systems.

• Swing disc design offers low head‑loss in forward flow, making it efficient in process pipelines.

• Simple construction with minimal maintenance requirements.

Typical Applications:

• Utility or service lines in industrial plants (water, compressed air, mild fluids).

• Chilled/hot water pipelines in building services where large flanges are not present.

• Retrofitting between existing flanges where space and cost are constrained.

Summary:
When a wafer‑type installation is preferred and industrial strength is required without excess cost, this carbon steel swing check valve is a balanced choice. It brings reliability, compactness and simplicity to flow‑protection needs.
