4. Dimensional Data (Approximate)

Note: Wafer check valves have a short face-to-face length. The exact “L” dimension can vary slightly by manufacturer. Please verify the final dimension with the approved drawing.

Size Face-to-Face Length (L) Body Outside Diameter (D) Flange Bolt Circle Dia. (D1) No. of Bolt Holes & Dia.
DN300 (12″) 73 mm – 83 mm (Typical: 79 mm) Approx. 340 mm 451 mm (ASME B16.5 150LB) 12 – 25 mm (Φ25)

Important Installation Note:
Ensure the pipeline flanges spread apart to insert this valve. The bolts are long-pass bolts that go through the entire valve body.

5. Product Features

  1. Compact & Lightweight: The wafer body design significantly reduces weight and installation space compared to traditional swing check valves.

  2. Low Pressure Drop: Streamlined disc design minimizes flow resistance.

  3. Corrosion Resistance: The Aluminum Bronze disc offers superior resistance to corrosion from seawater, chlorides, and various acidic media, making it ideal for harsh environments.

  4. Tight Shut-Off: The combination of a metal disc and an EPDM resilient seat provides bubble-tight sealing.

  5. Non-Slam Performance: Stainless steel springs ensure quick closing of the plates before flow reversal, effectively preventing water hammer.

6. Inspection & Warranty

  • Valves are pressure tested in accordance with API 598.

  • Marking per MSS SP-25.

  • Free from porosity and structural defects.


If you need to adjust this sheet:

  • Change the seat material (e.g., to Viton® or PTFE).

  • Update specific face-to-face dimensions if provided by the manufacturer.

  • Add torque values or actuator data.
