- Swing Check Valve
Falcon Flow Control Swing Check Valve
A widely used check valve featuring a swinging disc (single or dual plate) that opens with forward flow and closes to prevent reverse flow, offering dependable protection for pipelines and equipment.
Full Description
The Falcon Flow Control Swing Check Valve uses one or two pivoting discs mounted on a hinge to control the flow of fluid through a pipeline. When fluid flows forward, the disc swings open allowing unobstructed flow. When flow reverses, gravity or backpressure causes the disc(s) to close tightly, preventing backflow and protecting pumps, compressors, and other equipment.
The single plate variant features one large disc, while the dual plate design has two smaller discs that close toward the center, reducing the valve’s face-to-face length and making it suitable for installations with limited space.
These valves are durable, reliable, and designed to minimize pressure drop while offering efficient sealing. They are used in a variety of industries including water treatment, oil and gas, power plants, and chemical processing.
