Industrial Back Pressure Valves Guide

Back pressure check valves are designed to allow flow in one direction only by using a spring-loaded check that opens to allow flow into a container but closes to prevent backflow. They provide protection for container openings and can be used in lines where one-way flow is needed. Models include brass or steel bodies with soft or metal seats, and are available in sizes from 3/4" to 3" for liquid propane or ammonia transfer applications. Larger valves can handle over 300 gallons per minute of liquid propane flow.

Back Pressure Check Valves

General Information

RegO Back Pressure Check Valves are designed to allow flow in one Metal-to-metal seats will allow slight leakage after closure. These
direction only. The check, normally held in the closed position by a valves will restrict the escape of container contents in the event of
spring, precludes the possibility of flow out of the container. When accidental breakage of the piping or fittings.
flow starts into the container, the pressure overcomes the force of
the spring to open the check. When the flow stops or reverses, the
check closes.

Back Pressure Valves for Container or Line Applications


3146 Series, 3176 Series, A3186, A3187S, A3196, and A3276BC
Application
Designed to provide protection of a container opening when desired
flow is always into the vessel. May be used in line applications where
flow must be limited to one direction.

When used with the appropriate single check filler valve, the
combination forms a double check filler valve suitable for use in filling
of bulk storage tanks.

Features
• Generous flow channels for low pressure drop.
• Heavy-duty construction for long service life. 3146 Series, 3176 Series, A3186, A3196
• Soft seat valves have synthetic rubber seat disc for positive seals.

Swing-Away Back Pressure Check Valves for Container or Line Applications


6586D and A6586D
Application
Designed to provide protection of a container opening when
desired flow is always into the vessel. May also be used in the line
applications where flow must be limited to one direction.

When used with the appropriate single check filler valve, the
combination forms a double check filler valve suitable for use in filling
of bulk storage tanks.

The swing-away check offers more efficient flow rates than


conventional designs. It swivels open vertically to reduce pressure
drop across the valve and improves flow rates.
