General
The Type 561/562 Cone Check Valve family is used to automatically stop flow in the back direction when the fluid in the
line reverses. The valve closes when vertically mounted with (561) 2.9 PSI or (562) 1.45 PSI. The new check valve Type 562
(horizontal) closes absolutely leak-tight with the built-in spring, even in the de-energized state without water column as
well as in a horizontal position. The union design (3/8 to 4) allows for easy replacement or repair in the field. The valve is
available in PVC, CPVC, Polypropylene, PVDF, and ABS, matching easily with most plastic piping systems.

NOTICE
The data in the above table are valid for
Closed*
water or water-like media with a density of
ca. 1 g/cm. If media with a higher density are used, be aware that depending on
the material used, thecone can float, and
therefore the closing function is no longer
warranted. This depends on the material
used.
The values for the opening conditions apply to vertical installation ( recommended
mounting position). With horizontal installation, the valve opens already at much lower
differential pressures.
