The Single-Plate Wafer Check Valve is a compact and efficient type of check valve designed to allow fluid flow in one direction while preventing backflow in the opposite direction. It features a single disc or plate that moves to open or close the valve, depending on the flow direction. The wafer-style design allows the valve to be installed between two flanges, making it lightweight, space-saving, and easy to install. This type of valve is widely used in applications where space is limited, and reliable flow control is required.

Key Features:
-
Single-Plate Design:
-
The valve uses a single disc or plate that pivots or moves linearly to open or close, depending on the flow direction.
-
The disc design ensures minimal resistance to flow when open and provides a tight seal when closed.
-
-
Wafer-Style Construction:
-
The valve is designed to fit between two pipeline flanges, eliminating the need for additional bolting or support.
-
This compact design saves space and reduces installation time and costs.
-
-
Low Pressure Drop:
-
The streamlined design of the disc and valve body minimizes turbulence and pressure loss, ensuring efficient flow.
-
-
Quick Response:
-
The lightweight disc allows for fast closing, reducing the risk of water hammer and protecting downstream equipment.
-
-
Durable Materials:
-
Constructed from high-quality materials such as stainless steel, ductile iron, or carbon steel, the valve is designed to withstand high pressures, temperatures, and corrosive environments.
-
-
Bidirectional Sealing (Optional):
-
Some single-plate wafer check valves are designed to provide sealing in both directions, making them versatile for specific applications.
