- Stainless steel plate with a stainless steel wire to be attached on or around the check valve after installation, for identification purposes.
- Tag with a stainless steel stem to be permanently attached (either spot welded or screwed) to the check valve (non-plastic FIV and HFVD styles only) for easy identification in applications where flange connections are used.
- Valve components are submerged into an ultrasonic bath, removed and inspected under ultra violet light, assembled, re-submerged, re-inspected, and sealed in a plastic bag.
- Valve is installed into a fixture where water is introduced at 1-1/2 times the pressure rating of the valve. The valve is then inspected for leaks through the shell or body.
- Valve is immersed into water and air is introduced into the valve at 80-PSI. The valve is then inspected for leaks through the shell or body.
- Performed on every check valve that ships from our facility. Air is introduced in the reverse flow direction at 80-PSIG and any leakage is measured. Must pass specific criteria depending upon the seat material of the check valve.
- We perform a Hydrostatic Shell Test and mark the required information on either a Flag Tag, SS Tag, or on the body, depending upon the valve style.

- Wetted valve components are evaluated to verify that their Rockwell hardness falls within the specifications established by NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 and NACE MR0103 contact the factory for availability.
