Description
Midland 316 Stainless Steel 1-PC Spring Check Valve
Midland 316 Stainless Steel 1-PC Spring Check Valves are designed to provide dependable one-way flow control while automatically preventing reverse flow in compatible liquid and gas piping systems.
The compact one-piece body helps minimize potential leak paths, while the spring-loaded internal poppet provides quick closing action when forward flow stops or reverses. These valves are well suited for commercial, industrial, OEM, and general process applications where reliable backflow protection is required.

Valve Configuration
One-Piece Body
The compact one-piece construction reduces the number of body joints and helps minimize potential leak paths.
Spring-Loaded Poppet
The internal poppet opens with forward pressure and closes automatically when flow decreases or reverses.
Female NPT Ends
Female threaded connections provide straightforward installation into compatible standard NPT piping systems.
Construction Details
The valve body is manufactured from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel for dependable strength and long service life in compatible service environments.
The one-piece configuration provides a compact, durable body while helping reduce the number of possible leak points compared with multi-piece valve designs.
The internal spring-loaded poppet responds automatically to changing flow conditions, opening during forward flow and returning to the seat when flow stops or reverses.
How It Works
Forward Flow
When inlet pressure reaches the required opening force, the spring-loaded poppet moves away from the seat and allows media to pass through the valve.
Reverse Flow
As forward flow decreases or reverses, the spring pushes the poppet toward the seat to help stop backflow through the piping system.

What material is this valve made from?
The supplied product information identifies 316 stainless steel construction.
What does 1-PC mean?
1-PC refers to the one-piece valve body construction.
What type of connections does it use?
The valve uses female NPT threaded connections.
How does the valve operate?
The valve uses a spring-loaded poppet that opens with forward flow and closes automatically when flow stops or reverses.
Does the valve require manual operation?
No. The check mechanism operates automatically according to system flow and pressure.
What type of service is it intended for?
The supplied product information identifies compatible liquid and gas service.
Does installation direction matter?
Yes. Install the valve with the flow arrow on the body pointing in the intended direction of normal system flow.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm valve size, NPT thread compatibility, operating pressure, temperature, media compatibility, and required installation orientation before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for Midland 316 Stainless Steel 1-PC Spring Check Valves.
- Confirm the required nominal valve size before ordering.
- Verify female NPT thread compatibility with the intended piping system.
- Install with the flow arrow pointing in the intended direction of system flow.
- Verify 316 stainless steel compatibility with the intended media.
- Confirm system pressure and operating temperature requirements before installation.
- Use an appropriate thread sealant where permitted.
- Avoid excessive installation torque that could damage the valve or threaded connections.
- Support connected piping to prevent excessive mechanical load on the valve.
- Check valve operation after installation to confirm proper forward flow and reverse-flow closure.
- Fully isolate and depressurize the piping system before servicing or replacement.
- Do not exceed manufacturer pressure, temperature, or media limitations.
- Follow applicable piping codes and manufacturer recommendations.
