Brass swing check valve for 1/2 inch copper piping

This inline swing check valve is made from low-lead brass and accepts sweat connections on both ends. It is suited for residential or light-commercial potable-water lines where back-flow prevention is required. The valve operates in horizontal or vertical orientations without modification.

Low cracking pressure and broad temperature range

The disc opens at a cracking pressure of .1 psi, allowing flow to start with minimal head loss. Brass-to-metal seating provides a tight seal up to the rated limits of 150 degrees F and 200 psi water pressure, while the minimum service temperature reaches -20 degrees F. Steam service is not rated.

Full-port brass body with sweat ends

The full-flow design delivers 10 gpm without a reduced bore, so pressure drop stays low across the valve. Sweat-by-sweat connections mean the installer solders directly to copper tube, creating a permanent, leak-resistant joint. Horizontal or vertical mounting flexibility simplifies routing in tight joist bays or riser clusters.

Questions about this item

How do I solder the 1/2 in sweat connections without damaging the brass seat?

Clean and flux both copper ends, then apply heat evenly to the fitting body — not the valve centre — so the solder flows into the joint before the internal brass seat reaches 150 Degrees F.

Will the brass swing disc or metal seat need periodic replacement?

The metal seat and brass disc are built for the full 200 psi @ 150 Degrees F rating; no scheduled replacement is required unless debris prevents full closure.

At what flow rate does the .1 psi cracking pressure stop being negligible?

The valve is rated for 10 gpm full flow; within that range the .1 psi cracking pressure adds no measurable restriction.
