Check Valve FAQ
What is a Y-ball check valve and how does it differ from standard check valves? A Y-ball check valve features a unique Y-shaped body design that allows the ball and seat to be removed for inspection or service without disconnecting the valve from the pipeline. Unlike traditional check valves that require complete removal for maintenance, the Y-body design significantly reduces downtime. This is particularly valuable in sanitary applications where cleanliness and quick maintenance are critical to maintaining production schedules.
What materials are available for sanitary check valves? Eagle offers multiple material options to suit different applications. The body is typically 316 stainless steel (with 304 and 316L alternatives), while the ball can be PTFE (standard), Buna-N, or Viton depending on chemical compatibility needs. Seals are available in EPDM (standard), Buna-N, or Viton. This flexibility ensures compatibility with various process fluids from food products to aggressive chemicals.
What pressure and temperature ranges do these valves handle? Our sanitary Y-ball check valves operate effectively at pressures up to 150 PSI and temperatures from 15°F to 200°F (-9°C to 93°C). The specific temperature range may vary slightly depending on seal material selection. For higher temperature applications, alternative seal materials can extend the operating range - contact our technical team for specific high-temperature requirements.
Why choose tri-clamp connections for sanitary check valves? Tri-clamp connections provide several advantages for sanitary applications: they allow for quick installation and removal, create a secure leak-free seal, offer full flow with minimal pressure drop, and are designed with hygienic principles in mind - no threads or crevices where bacteria could accumulate. For permanent installations, we also offer weld end options that provide a completely smooth internal surface.
