VALVE CONSTRUCTION
The standard Tilted Disc Check valve is ruggedly
constructed of cast iron. See the specific Materials
List submitted for the order if other than standard
iron construction. The internal metal components
are aluminum bronze or stainless steel. The pivot
pins (4) are fixed in the body (1) and support the
disc (3). Grease fittings (23) are provided to allow
regular lubrication of the pivot pin. The general
details of construction are illustrated in Figure 2.
The body is flanged to connect to a pipe flange. The
body consists of a pivot body half (1) and a seat
pivot half (2). The seat (11) is held in place by the
two body halves. Top and bottom inspection hole
covers (13) are provided for servicing the valves and
to allow installation of dashpots. Do not remove the
inspection covers while the pipeline is under
pressure or the cover may release pressure
suddenly.

WARNING
Removal of inspection covers without draining
the pipeline and valve may cause serious
injury.
