Precautionary Note: Not recommended for use with reciprocating
pumps and similar applications, which may induce repetitious
vibrations. Low ow rates which do not fully open the valve may
result in undesirable noise and premature valve failure. Upstream
ow disturbances, which create turbulence, may also result in
rapid wear. Therefore, it is recommended that a minimum of 10
diameters of straight pipe be provided between the check valve
and any upstream ow disturbances such as pumps, control valves,
elbows, etc. See Installation Manual for details.
