 | 2" Swing Check Valve "Clear" Slip x SlipManufacturers ID: 8420CS Item ID: .6603 Case: 1 Unused:  Unused:  Unused:  Unused:  Unused:  Unused:  Unused:  Unused:  Unused:  Check valves have two ports and restrict the flow of fluids and other loose materials through a pipe or passageway to one direction. Flow
 enters through one port and exits through the other, closing when flow
 reverses or stops. Two common types of check valves are ball cone valves
 and swing check valves. A ball cone valve utilizes a spring-loaded ball
 seated against a cone-shaped interior surface to stop the flow of fluid
 in a forward direction, and a swing check valve has a movable disc on a
 hinge to block reverse flow. Check valves are rated by their cracking
 pressure (the minimum upstream pressure required for the valve to
 operate), and they are used in various water, gas, air, and steam lines.
