1. Product Description
A Straight Pattern Screw-Down Non-Return (SDNR) Globe Valve combines the functions of an isolation valve and a check valve in a single, straight-through body configuration . The “Screw-Down” feature allows manual closure by screwing the stem down to force the disc onto the seat, providing positive shut-off independent of line pressure. The “Non-Return” function enables the disc to act as a check valve when the stem is fully raised, automatically preventing backflow .
The ASTM B148 C95800 Nickel Aluminium Bronze body offers exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly in seawater, marine environments, and chemical applications, with excellent resistance to cavitation, erosion, and biofouling .
