Wastewater solution is one of the best and most eco-friendly ways of attaining a sustainable future. The gallons of wastewater that humans produce every day is not useful to anyone in their raw form due to the toxic nature of the fluid. Industrial wastewater, domestic wastewater, etc were all dumped into the ocean before we developed a way to reuse the toxic wastewater. To make these wastewater and domestic sewage usable again, the fluid must go through a lot of layers of processing. This is a complicated process and the collection of the wastewater might seem like the easiest process of them all. However, the collection and transportation is also important, and it is vital that there is no problem in the pipelines. To maintain the pipelines and make sure that there is no backflow, check valves are necessary.

What are Swing Type Check Valves?

Swing type check valves are the most common check valves found in plumbing systems all over the world. These check valves are reliable, resilient, and very easy to maintain, making them one of the most popular kinds of valves available. Check valves are basically valves that regulate the flow of the water, monitoring the forward flow, as well as the backwards flow. It makes sure that there is a healthy and smooth forward flow of the fluid while blocking any backflow.

The way it works is that it has a disc that is mounted on a hinge or shaft. This disc then swings off the seat during plumbing, in order to allow forward flow of the fluid. Then when the flow is stopped, the disc swings back onto the seat in order to prevent any sort of backflow. The performance of these valves can be enhanced by adding a lever and weight, or a lever and spring system to it. These enhanced swing type check valves are suitable for high pressure, insufficient backpressure, and high flow velocities. They also help in reducing water hammer damage.
