Swing-Flex® Check Valve with Mechanical Indication

Swing-Flex®, the check valve of choice, is now available with mechanical disc position indication on sizes 3"-12". The indicator shows disc position and is easily seen from a distance. The cover mounted indicator was field tested in a raw sewage application and continues to operate maintenance free over two years later. It can be provided with the valve or ordered at a later date and installed in the field. Both the valve and indicator are designed for minimal maintenance. With no weights, levers, shafts or bearings, the Swing-Flex® is designed to provide years of trouble free service.

The Swing-Flex® design provides non-slam performance by placing the seat on a 45 degree angle. The angled seat design results in a short disc stroke of 35 degrees, which reduces the valve’s closing time and virtually eliminates slamming. The elimination of weights and levers, used to shorten the disc stroke in traditional check valves, means lower head loss and less operating costs for the user.
