Typical Applications
Pump discharge backflow prevention, HVAC chilled and condenser water, water and wastewater treatment, booster and circulation loops, and tight-quarters retrofits where a swing check won't fit. EPDM seat: water-based services — not for oils or fuels.
Cross-References & Interchange
Replacing another brand's 5 in. dual-plate wafer check? These interchange dimensionally with standard ASME Class 125/150 wafer checks — match nominal size and flange class, or send us your part number and we will confirm the fit.
