Product Identity

The Value Brand 10F288 is a bronze swing check valve with 1/4 inch FNPT connections. It allows flow in one direction and automatically prevents backflow in residential or light commercial plumbing systems. The inline swing design opens under forward pressure and closes when flow stops or reverses.

Upgrade Path

This valve replaces a missing or failed check valve where backflow prevention is required by code or system design. The jump is worth it when an existing valve leaks, sticks or cannot handle the temperature and pressure range listed in the specifications. It also suits new installations that demand a bronze body with bronze seat and seal materials.

Build Fit

The valve fits directly into 1/4 inch FNPT threaded pipework without adapters. It mounts in either horizontal or vertical orientation, freeing layout choices in tight spaces. The bronze construction withstands water pressure up to 200 psi and steam pressure up to 125 psi WSP across a temperature span of -20 to 406 degrees F. Full flow capacity is rated at 4 gpm with a cracking pressure between 0.750 and 1.000 psi.

Questions about this item

What thread size and type does the 1/4 in FNPT connection require for mounting?

The valve uses a 1/4 in FNPT x FNPT connection, so it threads onto a male NPT pipe or fitting of the same 1/4 in size.

How do I orient the swing check valve during installation, and what is the common mistake?

It can be mounted horizontally or vertically with flow in the direction of the arrow; the common error is installing it backwards so the disc cannot open.

What is the maximum water pressure the bronze seat can handle before it may need replacement?

The bronze seat is rated for 200 psi maximum water pressure; operating above this can accelerate wear and require earlier replacement.
