Stainless Steel Swing Check Valve offers a cost-effective, durable solution for preventing backflow in pipeline systems. Designed for uni-directional flow, it features a disc that swings freely and closes automatically when back pressure or gravity overcomes the forward flow.
Because of its simplicity and reliability, this valve works well in many industrial, commercial, and mechanical systems. Additionally, it supports a wide range of media including water, air, and fuel.

Key Benefits of the CV-S0-S Swing Check Valve
✅ Free Flow with Minimal Resistance
Unlike spring-loaded alternatives, the swinging disc in this check valve opens fully, allowing unrestricted media flow. This feature makes it ideal for systems with consistent, high flow rates. Therefore, it is especially well-suited for horizontal pipelines where space and efficiency matter.
✅ Durable and Corrosion-Resistant
Manufactured entirely from 304 stainless steel, the CV-S0-S resists corrosion and chemical degradation. The PTFE gasket adds extra protection by creating a secure, long-lasting seal under varying conditions. As a result, the valve performs reliably across a wide range of industrial applications.
✅ Long Service Life with Simple Maintenance
Thanks to its streamlined design, the CV-S0-S requires minimal maintenance. It handles temperatures up to 356°F (180°C) and pressures up to 200 PSI. Consequently, it’s a practical choice for demanding environments where durability is essential.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
To ensure proper performance, follow these best practices:
- Horizontal Installation Preferred: The valve performs best when installed horizontally, as gravity and backflow naturally push the disc closed.
- Vertical Installation (Upward Flow Only): You may install it vertically only if the flow direction is upwards. In this setup, gravity aids in keeping the disc closed when needed.
- Avoid Sudden Pressure Reversals: In systems where pressure changes abruptly, this valve may not be ideal. Sudden flow reversal can cause the disc to slam shut, potentially damaging the seat or disc.
- Not Suitable for Pulsating Flow: For systems with frequent pressure fluctuations or pulsations, use a spring check valve instead.
Common Applications
- Water treatment systems
- HVAC pipelines
- Fuel distribution lines
- Compressed air systems
- Oil and light chemical handling
- Fire protection setups
- Pump discharge lines
