“IVM” Wafer Check Valve offers performance & reliability. Ideal for low-pressure and temperature environments, A wafer check valve is a type of valve designed to allow flow in one direction while preventing reverse flow. Its design is compact and streamlined, resembling a thin “wafer,” which is why it’s called a wafer check valve.

• The wafer check valve has slim, flat design, which allows it to fit between two flanges of any class & rating in a pipeline, making it suitable for applications where space is limited.
• It consists of a disc (plate) that swings on a hinge with spring-loaded design. When fluid flows in the intended direction, the disc opens to allow passage. When flow reverses, the disc closes to block the backflow.
• The check mechanism (usually a disc or flap) closes automatically when backflow occurs.
• The valve operates automatically without the need for manual intervention or external power.
• Its thin design makes it ideal for installations where space is constrained.
• Generally, wafer check valves are more affordable and easier to install compared to larger, bulkier swing type check valves., that’s why it very cost effective than swing type check valves.
• It’s streamlined design often results in a lower pressure drop, meaning less energy is required to move the fluid through the system.
• Low maintenance compare to other Check valves, as there is no such moving parts rather than a disc & hinge.

Overall, the wafer check valve’s compact design, ease of installation, and effective backflow prevention make it a versatile component in many fluid control systems.
