The 452 Series Dual Plate Iron Check Valve is a space-saving, high-performance non-return valve designed for demanding water, HVAC, and industrial fluid systems. Featuring a cast iron wafer-style body and nickel-plated ductile iron discs, it ensures reliable backflow prevention with increased corrosion resistance. The spring-loaded dual plate configuration minimizes pressure drop and reduces water hammer compared to conventional swing check valves.
Equipped with a durable NBR seat, the 452 Series operates efficiently up to 150 PSI (WOG) and 180°F, making it ideal for clean water applications in commercial and mechanical systems.
Key Features:
- 150 PSI WOG Rated – Handles standard pressure requirements in most HVAC and fluid systems
- Dual Nickel-Plated Discs – Spring-loaded design enables fast shutoff and longer life compared to swing checks
- Compact Wafer Body – Fits between ANSI flanges for easy installation and reduced weight
- Corrosion-Resistant Internals – Stainless steel springs and pins with PTFE washers for smooth operation
- NBR (Buna-N) Seat – Reliable sealing for water and compatible fluids up to 180°F
Applications:
- HVAC piping systems
- Pump discharge lines
- General water & process fluid systems
- Commercial mechanical rooms
- Irrigation and water distribution
