The DFT® Basic-Check® Valve is a versatile all-purpose, non-slam valve that provides reliable, low-maintenance service for a wide range of liquids, steam and gases at various pressure/temperature combinations. The valve consists of a guard cage, spring, valve disc, retaining ring and seat. It can be combined with pipe fittings such as reducing couplings, drain elbows, etc. to form a complete check valve unit ideally suited for a broad range of pipeline applications or incorporated into machinery for OEM applications. The metal-to-metal sealing area of the Basic-Check® valve’s disc and seat is precision-lapped, providing very tight shutoff of gas, steam and liquid. If bubble-tight shutoff is required, optional resilient soft seats are available.

Standard Features:
  • 1/4" to 2 1/2" Line Size
  • 450 to 6000 CWP
  • Threaded Ends
  • Stainless Steel Construction
  • Spring-Assisted Silent Closing
  • Horizontal or Vertical Installation
  • Tight Shutoff - Lapped Disc & Seat
  • Easy Maintenance

  • 1 Contingent on service ratings of matching pipe and fittings.
  • 2 Cracking pressure for vertical flow will be slightly different: upward flow, slightly higher; downward flow, slightly less.
    Not recommended for use on discharge of reciprocating compressors.
  • 3 Soft seats are not available for the Style BSE check Valve. Buna-N and Viton are not suitable for steam service.
