Product Overview: The API 594 Wafer Check Valve (Dual Plate / Double Clip Design) is a compact, high-performance non-return valve engineered to replace traditional bulky flanged check valves. Designed with a short face-to-face structural length and lightweight wafer body, this valve dramatically simplifies installation, maintenance, and space allocation across high-pressure piping systems, wellheads, and flowlines from 2,000 PSI to 10,000 PSI.
Key Features & Advantages:
Compact & Lightweight Design: Shorter lay length and reduced weight minimize piping stresses and installation labor compared to standard flanged valves.
API 594 Standard Compliance: Manufactured to API 594 dual-plate design guidelines for optimal flow characteristics and reduced water hammer.
High-Pressure Capability: Built for severe-duty service with pressure ratings ranging from 2,000 PSI up to 10,000 PSI.
Extreme Temperature Range: Performs reliably across severe operating conditions from -75°F to +250°F (-60°C to +121°C).
Flexible End Connections & Materials: Available in Raised Face (RF) and Ring Type Joint (RTJ) connections across NACE-compliant material grades (AA to HH).
