Valterra 200-CU20 PVC Swing/Spring Combination Check Valve, Clear, 2″ Union

This Valterra 200-CU20 union check valve is made of clear schedule 40 PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for strength and resistance to corrosion and mild chemicals. Its EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) seal resists degradation as a result of water and oils, and the swing/spring construction of this valve makes it conceivable to install it in any position. It has a 2″ slip connection at each and every end, which will have to be fastened with glue, a maximum pressure rating of 150 pounds per square inch (psi), and a spring tension of 1/2 lb. This check valve is suitable to be used with landscape and irrigation, pool and spa, aquaculture, and general purpose applications.

Check valves have two ports and restrict the Drift of fluids and other loose materials through a pipe or passageway to one direction. Drift enters through one port and exits through the other, closing when Drift reverses or stops. Two common sorts of check valves are ball cone valves and swing check valves. A ball cone valve utilizes a spring-loaded ball seated against a cone-shaped interior surface to stop the Drift of fluid in a forward direction, and a swing check valve has a movable disc on a hinge to block reverse Drift. Check valves are rated by their cracking pressure (the minimum upstream pressure required for the valve to operate), and they’re used in more than a few water, gas, air, and steam lines.

Valterra Products manufactures and distributes valves, hoses, sewer systems, and pool and spa products. The company, founded in 1981, is headquartered in Mission Hills, CA.
