MODEL RCV RISER CHECK VALVE

The Model RCV Riser Check Valve has been designed for use in the risers of wet type fire protection systems. The single clapper design features dual springs for non-slamming operation and the streamlined body and wide open clapper design provide for low friction loss.

This valve can be installed in the vertical or horizontal position and the EPDM rubber faced clapper provides a non-stick leak-tight seal with as little as 5 feet (1.5 meters) of head. The drain is factory tapped at 1¼” or 2” NPT (or BSP) and two bosses on each side are provided for pressure gauges if required. The Model RCV check valve is tested to UL 312. Check valves are supplied with our standard painted finishes, i.e. orange or RAL3000 red. Optional finishes such as hot dipped zinc galvanized and custom epoxy coatings are available.

*Working pressure is based on connection with roll- or cut-grooved standard wall carbon steel pipe.
