1/2" Low Lead Brass Swing Check Valve
This 1/2 inch FNPT threaded valve uses a brass swing mechanism to prevent backflow in potable water lines. It is built for residential and light commercial plumbing where lead-free materials are required.
10 gpm flow at 0.5 psi cracking pressure
The valve opens fully at a low cracking pressure of 0.5 psi and delivers a rated flow of 10 gallons per minute. This single specification determines whether the valve can meet the demand of the fixture or branch line it serves.
Installs horizontally
The inline body accepts standard 1/2 inch female NPT connections in either orientation. Brass seats resist debris but can leak if pipe dope or tape fouls the sealing surface during assembly.

Questions about this item
What does the 10 gpm flow rating mean once the valve is installed?
It allows up to ten gallons per minute of water through the valve when fully open, so a typical residential supply line will not be restricted.
What does the FNPT connection cap in practice?
The female National Pipe Thread ends accept standard 1/2 inch male pipe threads, limiting the valve to piping with that exact thread size.
What does the valve physically need to fit or mount?
It requires a horizontal or vertical run of 1/2 inch NPT piping with enough clearance for the 150 psi brass body and swing disc to operate freely.
