Valve Configuration
Swing Disc
The hinged internal disc swings open with forward flow and closes automatically when flow stops or reverses.
Female IPS Ends
Female IPS threaded connections provide straightforward installation into compatible threaded piping systems.
Brass Body
Durable brass construction provides dependable strength and corrosion resistance in compatible service environments.
Construction Details
The valve body is manufactured from brass for dependable durability and resistance to corrosion in compatible plumbing and fluid handling applications.
The internal swing disc opens freely during forward flow, helping maintain relatively low restriction through the valve.
When flow stops or reverses, the disc closes against the seat to help prevent backflow without requiring manual operation.
How It Works
Forward Flow
Normal system flow pushes the swing disc away from the seat, allowing fluid to pass through the valve.
Reverse Flow
When forward flow decreases or reverses, the disc returns toward the seat and closes the flow path to help prevent backflow.
Why Choose a Swing Check Valve?
Low Flow Restriction
- Disc swings away from the main flow path
- Helps minimize pressure drop
- Suitable for continuous forward flow
- Simple internal mechanism
- Useful in general fluid systems
Automatic Backflow Protection
- No manual operator required
- Responds automatically to flow direction
- Helps protect pumps and piping
- Provides one-way flow control
- Simple mechanical operation
Typical Applications
Residential & Commercial
- Water piping
- General plumbing systems
- Utility piping
- Pump discharge lines
- Equipment protection
Industrial Fluid Handling
- Oil service
- Air systems
- General fluid transfer
- Process support piping
- Compatible non-corrosive media
Installation Orientation
Horizontal Installation
The valve is designed for horizontal piping installations when the flow arrow is aligned with normal system flow.
Vertical Installation
Vertical installation may be suitable when upward flow is maintained and the specific valve configuration permits proper swing-disc operation.
Our valve, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your valve size, FIP connection requirements, pressure rating, handle configuration, media compatibility, and application before you order.

Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for Midland Brass Swing Check Valves.
- Available sizes range from 1/2" through 4".
- Confirm the required nominal valve size before ordering.
- Verify female IPS thread compatibility with the intended piping system.
- Install with the flow arrow pointing in the intended direction of system flow.
- Horizontal installation is generally suitable for this swing-check configuration.
- For vertical installation, maintain upward flow and verify manufacturer requirements.
- Verify brass 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 brass body or threaded connections.
- Support connected piping to prevent excessive mechanical load on the valve.
- Check operation after installation to confirm proper forward flow and reverse-flow closure.
- Fully isolate and depressurize the system before maintenance or replacement.
- Follow applicable plumbing or mechanical codes and manufacturer recommendations.
