Wafer Style Check Valve Available in 2 to 4 Inches
Flomatic is offering a new wafer style check valve, the Model 888VFD. It is available in 2 to 4 inches with a 316 stainless steel guide and seat with EPDM elastomer disc standard, patent pending.
The Model 888VFD valve is designed for simple flange supported installation and will operate equally well in any position, the company says. It is suitable for ANSI 150# or 300# mounting. Flomatic points out that many check valves chatter and can be noisy when a variable frequency drive goes to low flow, causing premature wear and eventual failure. The double-guided, spring-loaded poppet system maximizes efficiency and minimizes water hammer with an easy field exchangeable internal system.
