445 Dual Plate Iron Check Valve
Engineered for extreme environments, the 445 Dual Plate Iron Check Valve combines a robust wafer-style design with EPDM seats and corrosion-resistant bronze discs. Ideal for steam, hot water, and aggressive media, this valve ensures reliable unidirectional flow while withstanding high temperatures and harsh conditions.
Key Features:
- EPDM Seat Excellence: Resists temperatures up to 300°F (149°C), perfect for steam systems and outdoor applications exposed to ozone/weathering.
- Dual Plate Efficiency: Spring-assisted bronze discs snap shut instantly, preventing water hammer and backflow in high-pressure pipelines.
- Wafer-Style Versatility: Compact, flangeless design installs seamlessly between ANSI B16.1/16.5 flanges, slashing labor and space requirements.
- Multi-Media Durability: Cast iron body and bronze discs thrive in corrosive liquids, gases, or high-velocity fluids.
- 150# WOG Certified: Rated for 150 PSI across water, oil, and gas systems.
Technical Specifications:
- Body Material: Cast Iron
- Disc Material: Bronze
- Seat Material: EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
- End Connection: Wafer-style (ANSI compliant)
- Pressure Class: 150# WOG
- Temperature Range: -20°F to 300°F (-29°C to 149°C)
Ideal Applications:
- Steam distribution and condensate return lines
- Chemical and petrochemical processing
- Hot water circulation in HVAC systems
- Oil refinery and fuel transfer pipelines
- Power generation plants
Why Choose This Valve?
The 445 Dual Plate Check Valve stands out in high-temperature and corrosive environments. Its EPDM seats resist aging and degradation from steam/ozone, while the bronze discs prevent corrosion in wet or chemical-laden systems. A top choice for engineers prioritizing thermal resilience, leak-free performance, and minimal maintenance.
Confirm media compatibility for specific fluids and temperatures beyond standard ratings.
