Ball Type Check Valve Features:
• Full Bore Design – Maximizes flow rate by allowing unobstructed flow when open. Reduces pressure drop.
• Compact Size – Smaller and lighter than flap type check valves. Takes up less space.
• Straight Through Flow – Allows smooth fluid flow in open position for reduced turbulence. Minimizes erosion and valve
wear.
• Fast Acting – Ball reacts quickly to reverse flow, providing tight shutoff Prevents backflow and slamming.
• Low Maintenance – No pin hinges or bearings. Self-cleaning and operates without lubrication.
• Weatherproof – Suitable for outdoor and submerged applications. Protects against weather damage.
• Variety of Materials – Available in brass, stainless steel, cast iron, and plastic. Offers corrosion resistance.
• Bi-directional Flow – Some ball check valve designs allow flow in either direction. Provides versatility.
• Easy Installation – Compact inline design enables easy integration into pipelines. Threaded or flanged ends available.
• Cost Effective – Simple mechanism with no moving parts makes ball check valves affordable. Good for budget
applications.
• Reliable Operation – Proven high cycle life with minimal wear. Handles frequent system operation.
Ball Type Check Valve Applications:
• Pumps – Used to prevent backflow and protect pump impellers from reverse rotation. Useful in water pumps, booster
pumps, centrifugal pumps.
• Compressors – Installed on the discharge line to hold pressure in the system when the compressor cycles off.
• Hydraulic Systems – Prevents reverse flow and loss of pressure in hydraulic circuits. Used in cylinders, motors, presse
• Steam Lines – Prevents condensate from backing up into steam lines, maintaining steam quality.
• Chemical Processing – Protects against backflow of corrosive chemicals. Handles high temps and pressures.
• HVAC Systems – Used in chillers, cooling towers, boilers to only allow one-way flow.
• Plumbing Systems – Added to supply lines as backflow prevention for fixtures and appliances.
• Wastewater Treatment – Prevents untreated water from reversing flow back into processes.
• Fire Protection Systems – Ensures water only flows one way in fire sprinkler lines to protect life and property.
• Irrigation Systems – Stops water from draining out when system is shut off and prevents contamination.
• Petrochemical – Useful in transferring corrosive or volatile fluids between storage tanks and processes.
