Key Features
Serviceable Cartridge Design
The internal check cartridge is removable, so the seat and spring can be inspected or replaced without cutting the valve out of the line.
Silent Spring-Loaded Closure
A spring returns the disc to its seat before flow reverses, preventing the water hammer that a swing check can produce on pump shutdown.
Low-Lead Brass Construction
Wetted surfaces carry a weighted average lead content below 0.25%, meeting Section 1417 of the Safe Drinking Water Act for potable water service.
