The Mini-Check is designed for minimum pressure drop. The three piece construction permits many combinations of end fittings, which makes the valve adaptable for nearly every application. The Mini-Check is available with 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8 inch pipe threads, both male and female. It can also be supplied with a 1/8, 1/4 or 3/8 inch tubing end on one side and with a pipe thread end on the other just by changing the end fitting. Combinations of male and female threads are also available. The Mini-Check can also be used as a low-pressure relief valve or vacuum breaker by using the desired spring settings.
Many valves in this series can be supplied with B16.34 certification. Give us a call for more information.
