Features and Description of Edward Stop-Check (Non-Return) Valves
Edward stop-check (non-return) valves
offer the same tight-sealing performance
as Edward stop valves, and at the same
time, give check valve protection in the
event of fluid back flow. Edward stop-check
valves are commonly used to prevent back
flow from a header fed from two or more
sources when there is a loss of pressure in
one of the sources for example, the boil-
er outlet to a common header or at the Equalizer pipe for
feedwater heater outlets. ➡ full disk lift
C
Flite-Flow®
Angle
Equalizer
Elbow Down All Edward cast steel stop-check valves are equipped with an Equalizer pipe.
Acting as an external pressure balancing pipeline, the Equalizer connects the
zone above the disk with the lower pressure area in the valve outlet (see drawing
above). This reduces pressure above the disk, and as a result, causes the higher
pressure below the disk to raise the disk to full lift. The Equalizer helps reduce
Globe pressure drop and disk-piston movement and wear.
All other features are the same as those defined on page C-2 for stop valves.

Features and Descriptions of Edward One-Piece Tilting Disk Check Valves
Quick Closing
Quick closing is achieved through a com-
bination of several design construction
features. The disk is dome shaped to
C avoid hesitation of disk motion or closing,
common to conventional flat disks. For
minimum pendulum period an impor-
tant factor in assuring quick closing
the disk pivot is located close to the cen-
ter of gravity of the disk.

Features and Description of Edward Equiwedge Gate Valves
For detailed description of the 2 piece flexible wedge see page C-10
1.Yoke bushing - material has low coefficient
of friction which substantially reduces torque
and thread wear and eliminates galling.
2. Weather/Grease seals - are provided to
protect against environmental conditions.
3. Yoke - the yoke is designed for ready
access to the packing chamber.
4. Packing and junk ring - utilizes flexible
graphite packing material with anti-extrusion
rings for optimum sealability and life.
5. Extended bonnet design - further sepa-
rates the packing chamber from fluid flow
area for longer packing life. Also provides
C accessible area for leakoff connections if
required.
6. Composite pressure seal gasket - pre-
loaded, pressure energized design, for long
reliable service.
7. Body guiding system - holds the wedge
halves together and absorbs thrust loads due
to line flow. Integral hardfaced guide system
components reduce friction and prevent
galling for longer valve life.
8. Conical stem backseat - Cone-on-cone
design provides a reliable sealing geometry
that operates over many valve cycles without
leakage.
9. Body - rugged cast steel body provides
maximum flow efficiency. Information on alter-
nate materials can be obtained through your
Edward representative.
10. Handwheel - spoke design provides more
efficient transfer of load with minimum weight.
11. Tapered roller bearings - on larger
valves, tapered roller bearings reduce torque,
carry the stem thrust and provide additional 14. Bonnet retaining ring - assures an effective, tight seal by pulling the bonnet and gasket together at the pressure seal.

Features and Description of Edward PressurCombo Valves
1. Stem has ACME threads, is ground to a fine
finish and is hardened to resist wear.
2. Yoke bushing material has low coefficient of
friction which substantially reduces torque and
stem wear and eliminates galling. Mechanical
upset locks bushing to yoke.

3. Yoke-bonnet assembly is two-piece to facili- 9.
tate disassembly for faster in-line internal repairs.
4. Inclined stem construction and optimum flow
shape minimizes flow direction changes and
reduces pressure drop.
5. Body-guided disk utilizes anti-thrust rings to
eliminate misalignment, galling and stem bend- 7.

Features and Descriptions of
Edward Hermavalve Hermetically-Sealed Valves
1. Position indicator shows whether the valve is open or closed. 16. Bonnet is barstock steel with gall-resistant Acme threads to insure
easy disassembly from body.
2. Handwheel is rugged and knobbed to permit sure grip even when
wearing gloves. 17. Backup packing with O.S. & Y. design allows for inspection or
addition of packing without disassembling valve.
3. Needle thrust bearings minimize torque. Their upper yoke location
protects from heat and allows lubrication. 18. Adjustable gland screws with O.S. & Y. design allow for easy
access to packing adjustment if necessary.
4. Yoke bushing. Revolving bushing of aluminum bronze material has
low coefficient of friction, substantially reduces torque, stem wear and
eliminates galling.
8. Diaphragm of multi-ply flexible metal provides a reliable primary This patented construction eliminates any potential leakage through a
stem seal. mechanical joint. It is more than just packless, it is hermetically sealed.

Hermetically-Sealed Valves
1. Position indicator shows whether the valve is open or closed. 16. Bonnet is barstock steel with gall-resistant ACME threads to insure
easy disassembly from body.
2. Handwheel is rugged and knobbed to permit sure grip even when
wearing gloves. 17. Backup packing with OS & Y design allows for inspection or
addition of packing without disassembling valve.
3. Needle thrust bearings minimize torque. Their upper yoke location
protects from heat and allows lubrication. 18. Adjustable gland screws with OS & Y design allow for easy
access to packing adjustment if necessary.
4. Yoke bushing. Revolving busing of aluminum bronze material has
low coefficient of friction, substantially reduces torque, stem wear and
eliminates galling.

Controlled Closure Check Valve
Standard Features
• Minimizes water hammer effects
on postulated feedwater line
break.
• Computerized modeling verified
by dynamic testing.
The Edward Controlled Closure Check Valve was developed and qualified to serve a function that no other previous
check valve could handle. If a feedwater line should rupture in a nuclear power plant, the reversed flow from the
reactor or steam generator out of the containment boundary must be contained. Conventional check valves would
close rapidly, but not fast enough to prevent high reverse flow velocity; closure of the conventional valve would pro-
duce severe pressure surges due to water hammer possibly severe enough to produce rupture of other piping or
equipment.
The Controlled Closure Check Valve is much like a Flite-Flow piston lift check valve, but it has an integral “dashpot”
a plate with a close-clearance fit around the rod connecting the disk and piston. Flow paths sized for individual
applications limit the flow out of the dashpot and consequently control the valve closing speed. See pg. G-17/G-19
for a discussion of water hammer and a comparison of the controlled closure check valve with other types.
