CKM Diaphragm Check Valves

Features/Benefits:

  • Patented Design: Self-sealing - they are not dependent on gravity, mounting position or reverse flow, a significant improvement over ball check valves.
  • Silent Operation: No internal sliding or loose parts to slam or vibrate, chattering is eliminated!
  • Dependability: Leak-free sealing protects against the potential hazards created by reverse flow of corrosive liquids such as acids, caustics and chlorine solutions.
  • Repetitive Long Term Sealing: Diaphragm automatically positions itself against seat in the identical location. Superior to ball check valves which often leak at lower pressures.
  • Convenience: Union nut on Series CKM simplifies valve inspection/removal with minimum piping breakdown.
  • Minimal Cracking Pressure: Diaphragm begins to open at approximately 1.0 to 1.5 PSI.
  • Cost Efficient: Designed to improve system performance and competitively priced.
  • Great Selection: Molded valves available in Geon® PVC, Kynar® PVDF, glass-filled Polypropylene, and now Corzan® CPVC. Series CK available in PTFE.

Product News:

April 2004: Series CKM is offered in Corzan CPVC. Corzan CPVC (chlorinated polyvinylchloride) offers many of the same advantages of grade 1/type 1 PVC, with additional service temperature range to 180ºF. Corzan is a well known brand of CPVC resin manufactured by Noveon, Inc. Series CKM in Corzan CPVC is available for threaded or socket installation, with Viton or EPDM diaphragm.
