Home » What is a Spring Loaded Check Valve?

A spring loaded check valve (a.k.a. spring check valve) incorporates a spring to assist in closing the check valve. They are designed to close prior to fluid flow reversal. Preventing backflow eliminates the hydraulic shock also known as water hammer. Water hammer is a result of the sudden fluid stoppage of flow in a fluid process system. All valves Check-All manufactures are inline check valves. We offer multiple seat materials and spring cracking pressures to meet all of your application needs.
