    When installing valves for service in corrosive media, the NIBCO Chem-Guide may be consulted for specific data or contact can be made with NIBCO Technical Services. It is, however, the obligation of the user to make the ultimate decision of fitness for use.

    Therefore, any movement of the disc is in a true arc and the disc will always center itself over the seat in the valve body. On NIBCO bronze check valves, no control of the disc can be affected from the exterior of the valve body.

    5x the nominal pipe diameter (preferably 10x) with straight piping to provide laminar flow. All NIBCO check valves are shipped in cardboard boxes for protection against exterior damage and accumulation of dust or dirt on the delicate seating surfaces. The boxes are not waterproof and, therefore, require that they be protected from the weather.
  • Page 6: Operation

    After the valve has been installed, the valve should be tested to make sure that it opens and closes easily and that the bonnet joints or pipe joints are not leaking. For more details on proper check valve selection and installation, see NIBCO Technical Bulletin NTB-0703 Design and Use of Check Valves.
  • Page 7: Troubleshooting

    For more details on check valves, see NIBCO Technical Bulletin NTB-0596 Check Valve Cracking Pressure. TROUBLESHOOTING LEAKAGE THROUGH THE BONNET JOINT If the bonnet joint leaks, the valve should be isolated and depressurized. The bonnet should be removed according to instructions in Section 2. The seating surfaces of the bonnet and body should be closely inspected.

    SPARE PARTS Normal spare parts to be maintained on hand are listed on the NIBCO spare parts list. If the bonnet or body are damaged it is normally less expensive to remove the entire valve from the line and install a new one.
