The 6 in. ductile iron double door wafer check valve (part 963006UL) uses twin spring-loaded aluminum bronze doors for fast, non-slam closure and very low headloss. The compact wafer body installs between ASME B16.1 Class 125 / ASME B16.5 Class 150 flanges, in vertical or horizontal runs. UL 312/ULC listed with fusion-bonded epoxy coating inside and out — built for fire protection service.
