Legend Check Valves
Legend Check Valves
Legend Check Valves are essential components for maintaining one-way flow and preventing backflow in plumbing, industrial, and commercial systems. Designed to automatically allow fluid to flow in one direction while stopping reverse flow, these valves protect pumps, compressors, and piping systems from damage caused by back pressure. Built with durability and performance in mind, Legend check valves are available in a variety of materials including brass, bronze, stainless steel, and carbon steel to suit a wide range of applications.
What Are Check Valves?
Automatic Backflow Prevention
Check valves operate without manual intervention, using system pressure and flow to open and close the valve. When forward flow is present, the valve opens; when flow reverses, the valve quickly closes to prevent backflow. This automatic function enhances system safety and efficiency.
Low Maintenance Design
With fewer moving parts compared to other valve types, Legend check valves require minimal maintenance. Their simple yet effective design ensures long-term reliability in demanding environments.
Types of Legend Check Valves
Swing Check Valves
Swing check valves use a hinged disc that swings open with forward flow and closes when flow reverses. They are commonly used in water systems and applications with steady flow conditions.
Spring-Loaded (Inline) Check Valves
Also known as silent check valves, these use a spring mechanism to close the valve quickly, reducing water hammer and noise. They are ideal for high-pressure systems and vertical installations.
Ball Check Valves
Ball check valves utilize a spherical ball that moves with flow direction. They are well-suited for systems handling viscous fluids or wastewater.
