IN-LINE CHECK VALVES
Bonomi's new Series S250 in-line check valves feature a cold-formed 316 stainless steel body that gives users the highest Cv at the lowest cost. The metal-forming process allows an improved flow profile inside the valve body to minimize head loss. It also eliminates machining for reduced manufacturing cost. The S250 is electron-beam welded at the end cap-to-body connection, creating a unibody for leak-free service. The low-crakcing .50-PSI spring-loaded FKM (Viton) seat provides high flow capacity, minimal head loss and dependable bubble-tight protection against reverse flow.
