A3187S & A3197S Installation
The A3187S & A3197S Back Check Valves are designed to provide protection of a container opening when desired flow is always into the vessel. They may be used in line applications where flow must be limited to one direction. Installation can be done in either a vertical or horizonal position. These valves are designed with a synthetic rubber seat disc for positive seals.
When installing in a container application: the female pipe thread connection on the outlet connection can be used to fit a standpipe. The Female and male pipe thread can be used for connection on the inlet side. Standpipe application will allow for a vapor fill connection when installed at the bottom of the container.
When installing in a pipeline application: the male pipe thread on the inlet and outlet connection must be used. The internal (female) pipe thread cannot be used and will not maintain a leak tight seal in pipeline service. The female internal pipe threads are ONLY FOR STANDPIPE INSTALLATION INSIDE A CONTAINER.
