  • Operates reliably from 40 to 140 Degrees F
  • Full-flow design delivers up to 100 gpm capacity

True Union Ball Check Valve

The Hayward Flow Control TC1250TE is a 2-1/2 inch PVC inline check valve designed for plumbing systems requiring backflow prevention. Its true union construction with FNPT connections allows straightforward installation and removal for maintenance without cutting pipe. The EPDM seals suit water treatment and chemical handling within the rated temperature range. It serves installers needing a reliable, serviceable non-return valve for vertical flow applications.

True Union Design and EPDM Seals

The true union ends enable the valve body to be detached from the piping for inspection or seat replacement while the pipe remains in place. EPDM seat and seal material provides compatibility with a range of water-based fluids and operating temperatures from 40 to 140 degrees F. The 3 psi cracking pressure ensures the ball lifts with minimal head loss, delivering full flow at 100 gpm when open. Vertical mounting orientation is required for proper gravity-assisted closure.

150 psi Pressure Rating and Flow Capacity

Rated for 150 psi maximum water pressure at 70 degrees F, the valve handles typical municipal and pumped system pressures in PVC piping. The 100 gpm full-flow capacity accommodates high-volume lines without excessive restriction. Steam service is not rated, limiting use to liquid applications. Builders needing higher pressure ratings, steam compatibility, horizontal installation, or larger pipe diameters must select a different valve model.

Questions about this item

How often will the EPDM seals need replacement in a system running at 140 Degrees F?

EPDM seals handle up to 140 Degrees F; at sustained high temperature they degrade faster, so plan on inspecting annually and replacing every two to three years depending on chemical exposure.

At what pressure does flow restriction become the limiting factor during continuous operation?

The valve is rated for 150 psi at 70 Degrees F; above that pressure the body and seals approach their limit, making pressure the first constraint under sustained use.

How much noise or heat does the true-union ball check valve add when running all day at 100 gpm?

The PVC body and EPDM seat produce no mechanical noise; fluid velocity at 100 gpm may create flow sound in the piping, but the valve itself adds negligible heat to the system.
