Examples of common options:• Seating can be soft (for zero leakage) or metal-metal• Lugged version• Retainerless or retaining plug design• Can be installed in any orientation

Sprung DiscSprung Disc valves, typically, have four main components: body, disc, spring and spring retainer.
Examples of common options:• Cracking pressure can be tailored to suit customer requirements by
sizing a spring to suit.• Seating can be soft (for zero leakage) or metal-metal• Valve can be installed in any position (Orientations other than
horizontal require engineering input to compensate for disc weight and flow direction).

Swing Type
Swing type check valves can contain as little as two main components but generally consist of a body, a seat and a disc.
Swing type wafer check valves have the advantage that they are of a compact design and low cost in comparison to their full bodied variants.Examples of common options -:
• Seating can be soft (for zero leakage) or metal-metal• Disc’s can be spring loaded • External lever and weight • Lugged version• Full bore version
