AVK Series 41, Metal Seat Swing Check Valves, DN 350-600
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.

  • Page 8: Flow Direction

    Lever and weight must be adjusted according to the application. If the flow is low the least aggressive position will most often be used, i.e. the one that requires low pressure to open initially, but high pressure to keep wide open.

  • Page 9: Adjusting Lever And Weight

    On some variants the lever in fully open position can pass the vertical point and drop down on the other side leaving the valve inoperable. In that case the aggressive position cannot be used. Page 9 of 15 Copyright © AVK Holding A/S, original version, rev. 1, 21-Jan-2023...
