Engineers weigh the importance of slamming characteristics as one of the factors when selecting a check valve. All Val-Matic Check Valves are designed with non-slam characteristics such as the seat angle of the Surgebuster®.
The Surgebuster® also uses the addition of the Disc Accelerator™ to prevent slamming in the most severe applications. The compact wafer design has made the Dual Disc® a popular choice when space is a concern. The short linear stroke and spring return action of the Silent Check Valve combine to effectively eliminate surges and water hammer that can be associated with the sudden stoppage of a reverse flow.
The versatile Foot Valve can provide positive seating action at both low and high pressure without slamming.
