Description
The Shield SD-DDNRV-PN16 Double Door Wafer Check Valve (3″) is a premium, space-saving plumbing and fire protection backflow preventer engineered to fit snugly between standard pipeline flanges. Constructed with a high-strength ductile iron body and twin spring-assisted D-shaped plates, this dual-disc (split clapper) mechanical valve responds quickly to changes in flow velocity. When forward fluid travel occurs, the plates pivot open around a central hinge pin; as flow decreases near zero, heavy-duty stainless steel torsion springs snap the doors shut for a non-slam, completely leak-tight seal. Rated for a maximum working pressure of PN16 (16 bar / 232 PSI) and fully coated inside and out with a corrosion-resistant fusion-bonded epoxy, it provides high flow dynamics, minimal structural wear, and versatile horizontal or vertical mounting options.
Features
- Compact Wafer Profile: Lightweight, short face-to-face body style drastically reduces physical installation footprint, line weight, and shipping costs compared to conventional swing check assemblies.
- Spring-Assisted Non-Slam Closure: Dual internal torsion springs force the clapper doors shut rapidly before reverse flow velocity peaks, completely eliminating pipeline water hammer stresses.
- Dual-Direction Mounting Flexibility: Can be safely engineered into both horizontal and vertical upward-flowing piping arrays without compromising tight shut-off functionality.
- Corrosion-Shielded Longevity: Protected by an advanced, factory-applied fusion-bonded epoxy barrier that prevents fluid scaling, oxidation, and aggressive environmental decay.
- Low Pressure Drop Geometry: Carefully contoured split-disc design allows the plates to fold neatly into the center of the stream, maximizing flow capacity while saving pump energy.
