Plastic diaphragm check valves are useful for a wide variety of applications. Their small size, low weight, durability, and broad chemical compatibility make them versatile choices for non-critical low-volume air, gas, and liquid backflow prevention. These USA-made check valves are assembled using sonic welding for exceptional toughness and durability. The series provides an economical and reliable diaphragm check valve option without sacrificing quality.
