HORIZONTAL / VERTICAL INSTALLATION

Unlike most conventional check valves, Check Rite wafer and significantly reduces costs. In vertical installations,
combination swing check valves are ideal for both horizontal typical swing check valves must have an offset pipe section
and vertical pipeline installation – requiring only a single line installed since these valves only function in a horizontal
