AVK Series 41, Swing Check Valves, DN 50-300
The AVK series 41 swing check valves are installed in water supply and wastewater
lines to make water flow in only one direction.
Flow reversal can occur for different reasons, like e.g. pump stop in a plant with large
differences in altitude, but with a check valve in the line this can be effectively
controlled.
Valves in the size range DN 50-300 come as both resilient and metal seated with the
resilient seated having a rubber face pressing against the cast iron seat and the metal
seats consisting of copper alloy face- and seat rings.
