Milwaukee Valve 1510T Series Bronze Swing Check Valve, Class 150, 3/4" Solder End

This Milwaukee Valve 1510T series bronze swing check valve with solder ends is a class 150 valve used for restricting fluid flow to one direction. It has a hinged disc that swings onto the seat of the valve to block reverse flow. The valve body is made of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) B-62 bronze for strength and corrosion resistance. This valve has maximum pressure ratings of 300 pounds per square inch (gauge) (psig) for water, oil, and gas (WOG) and 150 psig for steam working pressure (SWP), and a cracking pressure of 0.5 psi. It has solder end connections for semi-permanent yet reversible connections to tubing. This class 150 check valve is for use in water lines, processing plants, and agricultural applications and meets standard Manufacturers Standardization Society (MSS) SP-80 for quality assurance. Class is a standard relating to tolerance, construction, dimension, and wall thickness, but it is not a direct measurement of maximum working pressure. Check valves have two ports and restrict the flow of fluids and other loose materials through a pipe or passageway to one direction. Flow enters through one port and exits through the other, and they remain open when flow moves in the correct direction, but close when flow reverses or stops. Two common types of check valves are ball cone valves and swing check valves. A ball cone valve utilizes a spring-loaded ball seated against a cone-shaped interior surface to stop the flow of fluid in a forward direction, and a swing-check valve has a movable disc on a hinge to block reverse flow. All check valves are rated by their cracking pressure (the minimum upstream pressure required for the valve to operate), and they are used in various water, gas, air, and steam lines. The Milwaukee Valve Company manufactures manual and actuated valves, controls, and control accessories. The company, founded in 1901, and headquartered in New Berlin, WI, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 and 14001:2004 standards.
