Safety
All TopFlow products are designed and tested to ensure reliability and
integrity for long term safe operation. Please install and use these products
in a manner that promotes safety.

Quality
All TopFlow products are engineered, manufactured and tested under our ISO
9001 Certified Quality Program. Each check valve undergoes visual inspections
to meet the requirements of MSS SP-55 when in the rough casting phase and
MSS SP-25 when complete. Each valve is subjected to pressure testing in
compliance with the API-598 Standard. The minimum wall thickness, face-
to-face dimensions and all other critical dimensions and specifications meet
the requirements of API-594 and 6D, plus ANSI B16.1 and B16.5 codes. All
materials are ordered and verified against ASME and ASTM specifications.
Chemical and physical analysis as well as Radiographic, Ultrasonic, Liquid
Penetration and Magnetic Particle Inspections are available upon request.
Please specify these requirements as well as additional standards when ordering
or making inquiry. NOTE: Valves can be manufactured to meet NACE MR-
01-75 when requested.

Wafer Design Advantage
The short face to face design inherently makes this check valve
significantly lighter (10% of the weight of a conventional swing
check). The valve is designed to fit between two flanges and requires
no flanges of its own.
Dual Disc Advantage
As illustrated in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the
valve can be installed easily in any
position. This is made possible by the
dual disc design, complete with the
spring loaded feature. Gravity has less
of an effect because the discs are much
lighter than a conventional swing check's
single flapper. The spring aids in keeping
the valve closed when installed in a
position other than horizontal. These features allow you to design
your piping layout in the most efficient and least expensive fashion.
Cost Effective
A valve that weighs less is much cheaper to ship and much easier to
install. No costly foundations, no special supports, and no extra men
and special equipment. Only one set of studs and nuts need to be
removed in order to replace or service the valve, and... the valves
cost less to purchase due to the savings in material.
The Check Valve for all Applications
Resilient Seat Fig.5
The basic seat design in the TopFlow Check Valve
is illustrated in Fig. 5. This seat is vulcanized, not
merely bonded into the groove in the valve body.
When the valve is completely closed, a controlled
squeeze is obtained. An added margin of safety is
Fig.1 also built in: in case of resilent seat failure, ie fire,
the metal- to -metal contact will allow the valve to function,
even if the resilient seat is gone. This design is
standard on ANSI 150# through 2500# valves. For
low pressure (ANSI 125# and 250#) cast iron valves,
the standard seat design is as shown in Fig. 6. This
design offers the same features without the controlled
squeeze, which is not necessary for low pressure
cast iron valves.

Zero Seat Wear
The TopFlow Check Valve was designed to eliminate the possibility of
seat wear caused by friction at the heel of the dual discs. A carefully
calculated clearance between the body bearings, disc and the hinge pin
(Fig. 7) allows the pin adjust itself in the direction of flow (Fig. 8). When
the valve opens, (Fig. 9) there is no chance that the heel will drag across
the seating surface and cause wear. As the valve closes, the spring will
take the toe of the disc into the seating surface first. The line back pressure
will force the heels and

Spring Closing
The specially designed torsion spring in the TopFlow Check Valve is
intended to smoothly close the valve when the flow nearly reaches zero.
This minimizes the problem of back pressure suddenly slamming the
valve shut and creating water hammer or line shock. Stainless steel (316) CLOSED OPENING OPEN
springs are standard but other materials are available to meet any service
conditions. Fig.7 Fig.8 Fig.9

One of the key features in the TopFlow resistive coatings can be applied.
Check Valve is the radial thrust bearing which reduces
body wear (Fig. 3). Two replaceable metal bearings are press fit into
the body to take the wear caused by the movement of the internal parts. Retainerless Option
These are easily replaced at minimal cost. Our retainerless design eliminates all possibility of leakage through
the pin retainers. It also offers very cost effective alternatives for
future servicing.
