Check valve brochures

Val-Matic released brochures of two check valves: its Swing-Flex® that features a streamlined contoured body, providing a 100% unrestricted flow area, and its Surgebuster® that features the patented Disc Accelerator™, a stainless steel mechanism that closes the valve disc rapidly, thus avoiding slamming by flow reversal and allowing disc stabalization under flow conditions. The valves are available in sizes 2-48" with fusion-bonded epoxy interior and exterior for pressure ranges up to 250 PSI. They have been independently tested in flow, cycle and proof of performance.
