Flapper Check Valve Vs. Spring Check Valve (4K)

Ғылым және технология

Quick comparison between flapper and spring loaded one way check valves.
Flapper
PRO: Low water pressure loss, long life, higher temperature resistant.
CON: limited orientation (if horizontal, the cap must be up. If vertical "flow up" only), back leakage
Spring
PRO: Any orientation, no back leakage
CON: Pressure loss, more limited life
NOTE: Information offered "as is", you are solely responsible for how it is used.

    Nice. Is a check valve required by code where you live?

    It is, but it's not strictly enforced. How about where you are?

    @@tsbrownie Not sure. Our home is 46 years old and doesn't have one so it must not have been required back then. We do however have a pressure reducing valve which i had to replace once since we built the home. Water pressure is 110 psi during the day and higher at night. The valve is adjustable but is factory set at 40 psi. Works well.

    @@adnacraigo6590 Wow, 110 psi! Every area I've lived, North, South, East, SE, SW, and Midwest, always had lower pressures like 45 psi down to less than 1 psi on a friend's farm.

    It unscrews typically. Depends on the brand.

    Most hardware stores I have shopped at have them. They are in the plumbing section.
