Special Applications

Due to the valve's disc being mounted from a shaft that runs through the top of the valve, special adaptations can be made to the valve to suit specific applications.

Check Rite valves supplied through RAM Universal have been supplied with highly accurate counter weights to allow the valve to open and close at precise

pressures.Other valves have been supplied as a commissioning valve where bursting discs would normally be placed. These valves are fitted with a switch or indicator to allow plant engineers to see if the bursting disk would have blown during trial stages on new plant. The unique thing here is that the Check Rite valve re-seats automatically, ready for the next trial.

 

Manual Overrides

Occasionally check valves need to be supplied with a manual override facility. As with the special applications, a lever is fitted to the valve shaft so that the valve can be overridden.

This facility is most commonly used as a vacuum break or a manual way of bleeding off pressure from downstream pipe work.
