The Extractable Vertical Check Valve is used to hold prime in suction systems. The valve is positioned below the suction pump in the dispenser. This convenient location, along with the extractable feature, allows for easy maintenance without the need to break the product line. A removable plate on the face of the valve provides easy access to the replaceable cage assembly and poppet. The extractable vertical check valve also features a rust resistant epoxy coated cast iron body and is available with metal to metal or Buna-N seals, with or without strainer.
