Find My Check Valve
The DFT® Model PDC Silent Check Valve is specially designed for use on the discharge side of reciprocating air or gas compressors. It includes a pulse damping chamber to maintain the disc in the open position during the momentary reductions in flow associated with each cycle of a reciprocating compressor and to protect against premature seat wear.
