Valve Overview

This 1/2 inch bronze spring check valve suits residential and light commercial plumbing where a compact inline unit is needed. The sweat-by-sweat connections simplify copper pipe installation in horizontal or vertical runs. A 304 stainless steel spring provides reliable closure at 1.7 psi cracking pressure.

Target Installers

Plumbers and maintenance technicians handling water lines up to 200 psi and 250 degrees Fahrenheit will find the 10 gpm flow capacity adequate for general service. Those requiring steam-rated components or higher pressure ratings should look at alternative valve designs.

Critical Specification

The 2.8438 inch overall length determines whether this valve fits within the available pipe spacing on the job site. Measure the straight run between fittings before ordering to confirm clearance for the inline body.

Questions about this item

How much water can this 10 gpm valve actually pass in a typical house line?

The valve is rated for 10 gallons per minute, which matches many residential 1/2 inch supply runs and lets a standard shower or faucet operate without noticeable restriction.

What does the 1.7 psi cracking pressure mean for a sweat-connected bronze check valve?

It takes only 1.7 psi of forward pressure to open the spring, so the valve begins flowing almost immediately when a fixture is turned on.

Will the 2.8438 inch body fit between existing 1/2 inch copper pipes?

The body measures 2 27/32 inches long and 1 17/64 inches wide, so you need at least that much straight pipe plus clearance for the sweat joints on each end.
