Frequently Asked Questions
Which way does a lift check install?
Install horizontally with the body arrow pointing in the direction of flow. The brass disc lifts under forward flow and reseats by gravity against reverse flow.
Can it mount vertically?
Lift checks are gravity-dependent and are intended for horizontal lines with the cap up. For vertical service, use a spring-loaded inline or barrel check instead.
What is the pressure rating?
200 psi WOG, with a service range of 14 to 248°F.
Is it lead-free?
No. The brass body and disc contain lead and are not certified lead-free.
