Vertical Lift Check Valves are designed to provide reliable flow control and prevent backflow in various industrial applications. These valves are known for their efficient operation and long-lasting performance. Constructed from durable materials, they are suitable for use with a wide range of fluids and gases. The vertical lift design ensures a tight seal and minimises wear, reducing maintenance needs. These valves are ideal for ensuring system safety and efficiency in diverse settings.

Key features and benefits of Vertical Lift Check Valves

Key Features

Vertical lift check valves are designed to prevent backflow by utilising a disc or piston that moves vertically within the valve body. When fluid flows in the forward direction, the pressure lifts the disc or piston, allowing fluid to pass through.

Key Features

One of the key advantages of vertical lift check valves is their ability to handle high flow rates and pressures with minimal leakage. The design ensures that the disc or piston is aligned with the flow path, which provides a secure seal when closed.

Key Features

Vertical lift check valves are typically used in applications where the valve is installed in vertical pipelines. Their design allows them to function effectively in such orientations without relying on gravity for operation, unlike swing check valves.

The 350 series vertical lift check valve, commonly referred to as a piston check valve, is engineered for robust and efficient operation across various applications. Constructed from durable bronze, it offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for both industrial and domestic settings. The metal-to-metal sealing ensures reliable and tight closure, minimising the risk of leaks and maintaining system integrity over time. Designed with female BSP cylindrical threads, this valve is intended for horizontal installation, making it versatile for integration into existing pipework. Its application range is broad, making it suitable for use in heating systems where temperature regulation and fluid control are essential. It is also widely used in water supply and distribution networks, ensuring the smooth flow of water while preventing backflow, which can protect pumps and maintain pressure in the system.

A check valve is a one-way valve that allows fluid to flow in one direction while preventing backflow. It operates using a swinging, lifting, or tilting disc or a spring-loaded mechanism to control the direction of flow.

Check valves find applications in a variety of industries, including water and wastewater systems, oil and gas pipelines, HVAC systems, and industrial processes.

Check valves provide reliable and continuous operation, preventing reverse flow, minimising the risk of contamination, and ensuring system integrity without the need for external power sources.

Yes, check valves come in various types, including swing check valves, lift check valves, dual-plate check valves, and more, each designed for specific applications and conditions.

Check valves generally require minimal maintenance but should undergo periodic inspections and potential lubrication to ensure proper functioning.

Most check valves are designed to function in both horizontal and vertical orientations, but it's essential to follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines for optimal performance.

The cracking pressure is the minimum pressure at which a check valve starts to open. It varies based on the valve's design and specifications.

Check valves can be designed for high-pressure applications, but their suitability depends on the valve's specific pressure rating and construction materials.

Check valves are primarily designed to prevent backflow and are not intended for flow rate or pressure control. Control valves are typically used for such purposes.

Yes, Actuation Valve offers sustainable spares and replacement parts for ongoing maintenance schedules.

Yes, check valves can be used for both liquids and gases. The choice of valve type and material should be made based on the specific fluid and application requirements.
