Check Valves • Industrial Check Valve Manufacturer

Check valves play a critical role in ensuring the unidirectional flow of gases and liquids. For over 50 years, RED-WHITE VALVE CORP. has been providing customers in the HVAC, commercial, industrial, and plumbing markets with superior-quality check valves. Our team of industry experts oversees the production of our check valves from initial material selection through stringent product testing to ensure you receive the best possible products.

Check Valves — All You Need to Know

A check valve only allows materials like gas and liquid to flow in one direction, opening as fluid flows forward and then closing off. As such, this unique valve type is useful for safeguarding a piping system’s mechanical equipment against flow direction reversal.

Also called one-way valves or non-return valves (NRVs), they are automatic and don’t need an operator or a mechanism like a handle for external control. Instead, fluid flow and variations in pressure between the outlet and inlet ports are what power these valves.

Main Benefits of Check Valves

Check valves offer numerous benefits, including:

• System Protection. By making sure fluids and gases only flow in one direction, check valves prevent backflow that could otherwise result in system damage.
• Safety Assurance. Certain industrial processes involve the use of hazardous materials. Check valves enhance overall safety by preventing the unwanted movement of dangerous substances in the wrong direction.
• Operational Efficiency. Check valves contribute to system efficiency by maintaining the appropriate flow direction. This also helps to optimize performance and reduce energy consumption.
• Reliability. Check valves ensure the reliable operation of various process systems, providing a simple yet effective way of maintaining the proper flow of gases and fluids.

Selecting the Best Type of Check Valve for Your Application

Choosing the right check valve for your industrial application requires careful consideration of numerous factors, including material compatibility, system requirements, operating conditions, and more. It’s always a good idea to consult with industry experts or experienced valve manufacturers to ensure your chosen check valve aligns with your specific needs and complies with any relevant standards. 

Types of Check Valves:

At RED-WHITE VALVE CORP., we offer a wide variety of quality check valves, including:

In-line Check Valve

In-line check valves feature a compact design, making them a good choice for limited space applications requiring effective backflow prevention. Our quality in-line check valves are spring-loaded, offer low noise operation, and are suitable for both horizontal and vertical installations. 

Swing Check Valve

Swing check valves feature a simple design and allow for completely unobstructed fluid flow when in the open position. They are well-suited for applications with relatively steady flow and where minimal pressure drop is crucial. 

Dual-Plate Check Valve

Dual-plate check valves are compact, offer quick closure, and provide minimal pressure loss. They are effective in preventing backflow for applications with high flow rates and space constraints. 

Material Options:

Depending on your needs, our check valves are available in various materials, such as:

• Brass. Brass check valves offer good corrosion resistance and are ideal for plumbing applications and water supply systems. 
• Bronze. Due to their corrosion resistance, bronze check vavles are suitable for marine applications, offshore platforms, and other corrosive environments.
• Iron. Iron check vavles offer a cost-effective option for general-purpose applications. They are commonly used in water and wastewater systems, as well as various industrial processes.
• Stainless steel. Stainless steel check valves are durable, corrosion resistant, and suitable for numerous fluids. They are commonly used in chemical processing systems, corrosive environments, and other demanding applications.
