Axial Flow Check Valve For Non-Slam Applications

Axial Flow Check Valve For Non-Slam Applications

The GKV525 Axial Flow Check Valve, also known as a non-slam check valve or axial non-return valve, is engineered to allow flow in one direction and prevent reverse flow that can cause water hammer or pressure surges.

 

Its spring-loaded axial design ensures fast, smooth closure without slamming, providing superior protection for pumps, compressors, and pipelines. Designed with a Venturi-style body, it delivers low pressure drop, high reliability, and silent operation in demanding applications such as oil & gas, power, chemical, and water industries.
