Series 716 Vic-Check® Valves

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Series 716 check valve is a product of computer-assisted innovative engineering with quality features
including a new hydrodynamically efficient profile. Available in sizes 2 1/2 - 12"/65 - 300 mm, the Vic-
Check® valve utilizes a spring-assisted, single-disc design that achieves a leak-free seal with as little as
5 ft./1.5 m of head. The valve can be installed in both horizontal and vertical positions.
Series 716 check valves are engineered for long life and seize-free sealing. In sizes 2 1/2 and 3"/65 and
80 mm, the elastomeric seal, mounted on the aluminum bronze disc, seats against the machined area of
the body, which is completely coated with polyphenylene sulphide (PPS). Sizes 4 - 12"/100 - 300 mm
feature an elastomer-encapsulated disc and a welded-in nickel seat. Every valve is factory tested to its
working pressure of 300 psi/2065 kPa. Drains are provided both upstream and downstream of the disc.
Sizes 21/2 & 3"
Grooved ends allow fast, easy installation with just two Victaulic couplings. The valve may also be
connected to flanged (ANSI Class 150) components using Style 741 Vic-Flange adapters on either end.
