Description
Midland Brass Y-Pattern Swing Check Valve (C x C)
Midland Brass Y-Pattern Swing Check Valves (C x C) are designed to provide dependable one-way flow control while helping minimize pressure loss in compatible copper piping systems.
The streamlined Y-pattern body and internal swing disc allow forward flow while automatically closing when flow stops or reverses. Durable brass construction and copper sweat connections make these valves well suited for plumbing, water distribution, HVAC, and other compatible fluid systems where reliable backflow prevention is required.

Valve Configuration
Copper Sweat Inlet
The inlet is designed for soldered connection to compatible copper tubing.
Y-Pattern Swing Disc
The internal disc swings open with forward flow and closes automatically as flow slows or reverses.
Copper Sweat Outlet
The outlet provides a second solder connection for continuing the copper piping run downstream.
Construction Details
The Midland Y-pattern swing check valve uses durable brass construction for corrosion resistance and dependable service in compatible piping applications.
The precision-machined internal swing disc opens freely with forward flow and returns toward the seat when system flow stops or reverses.
The angled Y-pattern body promotes a smoother flow path than many conventional check valve configurations, helping reduce turbulence and pressure loss.
Why Choose a Y-Pattern Swing Check Valve?
Reduced Flow Restriction
- Streamlined Y-pattern body
- Designed for smoother forward flow
- Helps reduce unnecessary turbulence
- Lower pressure drop than more restrictive valve configurations
- Suitable for compatible flow-sensitive systems
Automatic Backflow Protection
- No external operator required
- Disc opens with forward flow
- Disc closes as flow stops or reverses
- Helps protect pumps and equipment
- Designed for continuous passive operation
How the Swing Check Works
Forward Flow
System pressure pushes the internal swing disc away from the seat, allowing media to pass through the valve in the intended direction.
Reverse Flow
When forward flow decreases or reverses, the disc moves back toward the seat to help prevent media from traveling backward through the piping system.
Copper Sweat Connections
Copper Inlet
The inlet accepts compatible copper tubing for a permanent soldered connection.
Copper Outlet
The outlet uses the same sweat connection style for straightforward installation in a continuous copper piping run.
Typical Applications
Plumbing & Water Systems
- Water distribution piping
- Domestic plumbing systems
- Pump discharge lines
- Building water systems
- Equipment backflow protection
HVAC & Mechanical Systems
- Heating water systems
- Chilled water piping
- Mechanical room piping
- Commercial copper piping systems
- Compatible fluid circulation systems
Swing Check vs. Spring Check Valve
Swing Check Valve
A swing check valve uses a hinged internal disc that opens with forward flow and closes when flow reverses, generally allowing a relatively open flow path.
Spring Check Valve
A spring check valve uses a spring-loaded internal closure element that typically responds more quickly to changes in flow direction but may create additional resistance.
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.

What does C x C mean?
C x C indicates copper sweat connections on both ends of the valve for soldered installation with compatible copper tubing.
What type of check valve is this?
This is a Y-pattern swing check valve designed to allow forward flow and help prevent reverse flow automatically.
What material is the valve body made from?
The supplied product information identifies heavy-duty brass construction.
Why use a Y-pattern body?
The Y-pattern provides a more streamlined flow path that can help reduce turbulence and pressure loss through the valve.
Does the valve require a handle or actuator?
No. The valve operates automatically in response to system flow direction.
Can the valve be installed horizontally?
Yes. The supplied product information identifies horizontal installation as suitable.
Can it be installed vertically?
The supplied product information identifies select vertical up-flow applications as suitable. Confirm the specific installation requirements before use.
How does the valve prevent backflow?
The internal swing disc closes toward the seat when forward flow stops or reverses, helping prevent reverse movement of system media.
What piping systems is this valve suited for?
The supplied product information identifies plumbing, water, HVAC, and other compatible fluid systems as typical applications.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm valve size, copper sweat connection requirements, pressure and temperature limits, media compatibility, installation orientation, and available service clearance before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for a Midland Brass Y-Pattern Swing Check Valve with C x C connections.
- C x C indicates copper sweat connections on both ends.
- Confirm the required nominal valve and copper tubing size before ordering.
- Verify that the valve is suitable for the intended system pressure and operating temperature.
- Confirm compatibility between the brass body, internal sealing components, and intended media.
- Install with the flow arrow pointing in the normal direction of system flow.
- Horizontal installation is suitable based on the supplied product information.
- For vertical installation, verify that system flow is upward and that the specific installation is permitted.
- Use accepted soldering practices when joining the valve to copper tubing.
- Protect internal valve components from excessive heat during soldering.
- Allow the valve and piping to cool properly before pressurizing the system.
- Support connected piping so excessive mechanical load is not transferred to the valve body.
- Verify unobstructed internal disc movement before placing the system into service.
- Install according to applicable plumbing and piping standards and manufacturer recommendations.
