Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the cracking pressure of this check valve?
The standard cracking pressure is approximately 0.5 PSI (0.035 bar). For special applications, we can adjust the spring to provide higher or lower cracking pressure upon request. -
Can this valve be used with aggressive chemicals?
Yes, the 316 stainless steel body handles many corrosive fluids. However, we recommend verifying the seal material compatibility. NBR is good for oils and water, while FKM (Viton) is better for aggressive chemicals and high temperatures. Please specify your media when ordering. -
What is the maximum temperature rating?
The standard temperature range is -20°C to 200°C. For higher temperatures (up to 300°C), we can supply with a graphite seal and special spring material – please contact our sales team. -
Is this valve suitable for gas applications?
Yes, it is suitable for non-corrosive gases such as compressed air, nitrogen, or natural gas, provided the pressure and temperature are within the rated limits. For high-pressure gas, we recommend adding a secondary check for safety. -
How do I install the check valve correctly?
Look for the flow direction arrow on the valve body. Install it so that the arrow points in the direction of the desired flow. Use thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape) on the male threads to prevent leaks. Do not over-tighten, as 316 stainless steel can gall. -
What is the warranty period?
We offer a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects from the date of shipment. Extended warranty options are available upon request. -
Can I get a sample before bulk order?
Yes, sample orders are welcome. We can provide one or two pieces for testing, with the sample cost deducted from your first bulk order if placed within 3 months. -
Do you provide custom fittings or special threads?
Yes, we can customize the end connections, such as BSP, JIS, or metric threads, as well as different pressure ratings (up to 3000 PSI) and body materials (e.g., 304 SS, brass). Minimum order quantities may apply for non-standard versions.
Trust Shanghai Zhibang Valve for your small hydraulic system needs – quality, precision, and global service since 2016.
