Wafer Check Valves

Wafer check valves are highly compact and lightweight safety fittings designed to prevent backflow in piping systems, installed between two flanges (wafer type). ORFA Industrial offers a space-saving, high-performance range of wafer check valves from stock for steam lines, heating-cooling circuits, and water systems. Professional wafer check valves, distinguished by their short face-to-face dimension and spring-loaded disc design, combine system safety with low pressure loss, backed by ORFA quality.

What Are Disc Check Valves and Why Should They Be Used?

Disc check valves are wafer-type control valves that open with fluid pressure in pipelines and close quickly with the help of a spring when pressure drops, preventing backflow. Compared to traditional swing models, these disc check valves reduce installation costs due to their much smaller footprint and lighter weight. ORFA Industrial recommends using disc check valves that offer smooth operation performance, especially in tight machinery rooms and directly at pump outlets. Thanks to their spring-loaded mechanism, these disc check valves minimize water hammer, protecting valves and pumps in the system. Professional disc check valves, available in stainless steel or brass options, maintain their sealing form under high temperature and pressure, ensuring safe flow management.

Disc Check Valve Types and Technical Structure

Different disc check valve models are available in our stock according to the system's temperature requirements and the aggressiveness level of the fluid. The main product groups are as follows:

Correct Disc Check Valve Selection and Efficiency

For system efficiency, when selecting disc check valves, the nominal diameter (DN), pressure class (PN), and operating temperature of the line must be determined with precision. Incorrect valve selection can lead to unnecessary pressure loss on disc check valves or premature fatigue of the spring mechanism. With ORFA's engineering expertise, we determine the most durable disc check valve configuration for your project and guarantee sealing with stainless steel spring and clapper technology. The use of professional disc check valves prevents costly repairs by stopping pump reverse rotation. An investment in quality disc check valves prevents energy losses while maximizing the total lifespan of the installation. Choosing reliable disc check valves in industrial facilities is the most economical and effective way to ensure operational safety.
