Precautions When Installing Wafer Check Valve
Lined Check Valve: It is a universal one-way fluid valve. It is light in weight, small in size, and easy to install between flanges. The valve consists of two semicircular springs and a plate surface, which are fixed to the valve body with a pin. The spring deformation closes the valve plate, and the fluid pressure causes the spring to open and deform quickly, which can protect the pipeline from water hammer damage.
Wafer check valve installation precautions:
1. When placing the pipeline, pay attention to make the passing direction of the wafer check valve consistent with the flow direction of the fluid;
2. Install in a vertically placed pipeline. For horizontally placed pipelines, place the wafer check valve vertically;
3. Use a telescopic tube between the wafer check valve and the butterfly valve, and never connect it directly to other valves;
4. Avoid adding pipe joints and obstructions within the operating radius of the valve plate;
5. Do not install a reducer in front of or behind the wafer check valve;
6. When installing a wafer check valve near an elbow, be sure to leave enough space;
7. When installing a wafer check valve at the outlet of a water pump, leave at least six times the valve diameter to ensure that the butterfly plate is eventually affected by the fluid.
