CONVERTIBLE SWING CHECK VALVES

ENGINEER: APCO is a unique check valve manufacturer.

We are unique because we manufacture six different type
check valves in fourteen different styles! With this variety,
APCO is the industry leader in fitting individual customer
needs because no single check valve is all serving!!

Be certain
(See drawings at right for reference)
13

its built with a fully extended

hi-strength stainless steel shaft

the disc arm is Ductile Iron for high

strength

the disc arm is double connected to

the disc for stability

the body seat is long wearing

centrifugally cast Aluminum bronze

the disc seat is Resilient Buna-N for

drip tight shut-off

29

you can switch the counterweight

or spring to either side of the valve
in the field (sizes 10 & larger)

WHAT IS SLAMMING?
Each type of check valve has inherent advantages and disadvantages and APCO is not reluctant to reveal either side. For
example, beware of the term non-slamming. Non-slamming
cannot be precisely defined or rated and what may be considered a slam to one individual may not be to another. Generally,
as you would suspect, the user claims slam and the manufacturer claims no slam. Now its a question of degree, opinion
and argumentation between the parties.
We sincerely believe we have a logical solution to this problem
its the Convertible Swing Check Valve. The check valve
with the high strength stainless steel shaft which permits
retrofitting in the field with several features to positively remedy
the slam.
For years Engineers and Municipalities have commonly specified and used conventional or so called non-slam type Check
Valves, only to find themselves backed into a corner when the
check valve turns out to be a real slammer after installation.
Dont let this happen to you.
Specify Convertible Swing Check Valves.
Consider the tremendous importance of a check valve in your
pumping system. A check valve allows flow or stops flow
repeatedly twenty-four hours a day, three hundred sixty-five
days a year. It also operates continuously, so it must certainly
be reliable.
If a Swing Check Valve will satisfy your application, by all
means specify it! But, be certain it is in fact reliable, designed
to operate twenty-four hours a day, three hundred sixty-five
days a year.

59

internals are replaceable without

removing main valve from line
Finally, should hydraulic conditions
exceed those anticipated and
slamming occurs, be certain it can
be upgraded in the field with
an anti-slam:
AIR CUSHION CYLINDER
(For Moderate Slam)
or
OIL CONTROLLED CYLINDER
(For Severe Slam)
Side Mounted (Sizes up to 20)
Bottom Mounted (Sizes 8-66)

Do yourself and your client a favor. Specify APCO

Convertible Swing Check Valves, with all the
advanced engineered features included.
