On a compressor it is what stops a pressurised receiver from back-feeding the pump head every time the unit unloads or shuts down, and in a multi-compressor plant it is what stops one machine pushing air back through another that is sitting idle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the classic Y-pattern bronze body: female NPT threads on both ends, a screwed bonnet cap on top, and a hinged internal disc that swings clear on forward flow and drops closed on reverse. Nothing to power, nothing to adjust, nothing to set. ACP lists these as \"swing gate valves\"; the industry name is a swing check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes and part numbers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS1701:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/4 in FNPT, 150 PSI WOG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS1702:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/2 in FNPT, 150 PSI WOG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS1703:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 in FNPT, 150 PSI WOG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS1704:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-1\/2 in FNPT, 150 PSI WOG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS1705:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 in FNPT, 150 PSI WOG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1 in size in this same family is stocked separately as S1700.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e swing check, Y-pattern, gravity and back-pressure closing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnections:\u003c\/strong\u003e female NPT (FPT) both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum working pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 PSI WOG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e cast bronze with a threaded bonnet cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-1\/4, 1-1\/2, 2, 2-1\/2 and 3 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the valve to the pipe, not to the compressor nameplate. A check valve one size down from the line is a permanent restriction that costs you pressure every hour the compressor runs, and in a discharge line that pressure drop turns straight into wasted power. If the discharge pipe is 2 in, fit the 2 in valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstalling it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrientation matters on a swing check. Mount it in a horizontal run with the bonnet cap upward, or in a vertical run only where flow travels upward. Never fit one in a vertical line with downward flow: the disc cannot fall closed against the flow direction and the valve will not seal. Check the flow arrow on the body before you thread it in, and support the pipe either side so the valve is not carrying the weight of the run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a compressor discharge, the check valve goes between the aftercooler or discharge pipe and the receiver inlet. Leave enough straight pipe ahead of it that the disc is not being hit by turbulence, and fit a union nearby so the valve can come out later without cutting pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eService notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA swing check that chatters or will not hold pressure overnight has usually picked up scale or carbon on the seat. Blow the system down, back the bonnet cap off and look at the seating face before you replace the whole valve. Checks on compressors that run hot carbon up faster than checks in clean dry service, so if this one failed early, look upstream at discharge temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRelated parts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also stock in-tank check valves, pilot and unloader valves, ASME safety relief valves from 1\/4 in to 1-1\/4 in, automatic tank drains and Parker Watts air line filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBronze swing check valves for compressed air service in 1-1\/4, 1-1\/2, 2, 2-1\/2 and 3 in female NPT, rated 150 PSI WOG, for compressor discharge lines and air receiver inlets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AirComParts","offers":[{"title":"1-1\/4 in FNPT","offer_id":67775935414547,"sku":"S1701","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1-1\/2 in FNPT","offer_id":67775935447315,"sku":"S1702","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 in FNPT","offer_id":67775935480083,"sku":"S1703","price":105.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-1\/2 in FNPT","offer_id":67775935512851,"sku":"S1704","price":153.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 in FNPT","offer_id":67775935545619,"sku":"S1705","price":194.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/3141\/8387\/files\/S17000102030405.jpg?v=1792654411","url":"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/bronze-swing-check-valve-fnpt-150-psi-wog","provider":"Warthog Air Compressor Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
