Description
Midland Brass Y-Pattern Swing Check Valve IPS
Midland Brass Y-Pattern Swing Check Valves are designed to provide dependable one-way flow control while helping minimize pressure loss through a streamlined Y-pattern body.
The internal swing disc opens freely with forward flow and closes automatically when flow stops or reverses, helping protect pumps, piping, and connected equipment from backflow. Durable brass construction and IPS threaded connections make these valves well suited for compatible plumbing, commercial, and industrial fluid systems.

Valve Configuration
Y-Pattern Body
The angled body configuration helps promote a smoother flow path while reducing unnecessary turbulence through the valve.
Swing Disc
The internal disc swings open with forward flow and returns toward the seat when flow stops or reverses.
IPS Connections
Threaded IPS connections provide straightforward installation into compatible threaded piping systems.
Construction Details
The valve body is manufactured from durable brass to provide dependable strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in compatible fluid systems.
The internal swing disc opens freely during normal forward flow, allowing media to pass through with relatively low restriction.
When flow decreases or reverses, the disc closes against the seat to help prevent backflow and protect connected piping and equipment.
Why Choose a Y-Pattern Swing Check Valve?
Lower Flow Restriction
- Streamlined Y-pattern body
- Swing disc moves away from the main flow path
- Helps reduce turbulence
- Supports efficient forward flow
- Suitable for continuous liquid service
Automatic Backflow Protection
- No manual operator required
- Responds automatically to flow direction
- Helps protect pumps and piping
- Provides dependable one-way flow control
- Simple mechanical operation
Typical Applications
Plumbing & Commercial
- Water piping
- General plumbing systems
- Utility piping
- Pump discharge lines
- Equipment protection
Industrial Fluid Handling
- Process support piping
- Fluid transfer systems
- Mechanical equipment lines
- General industrial piping
- Compatible liquid service
Installation Orientation
Horizontal Installation
The supplied product information identifies horizontal installation as suitable when the valve is installed with the flow arrow aligned to normal system flow.
Vertical Installation
Select vertical up-flow applications may also be suitable. Verify the manufacturer requirements for the specific valve size and application before installation.
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 Y-Pattern Swing Check Valves with IPS threaded connections.
- Confirm the required valve size before ordering.
- Verify IPS thread compatibility with the intended piping system.
- Do not confuse this IPS version with the C x C solder version.
- Install with the flow arrow pointing in the intended direction of system flow.
- Horizontal installation is identified as suitable.
- Select vertical installations should use upward flow and should be verified against manufacturer requirements.
- Verify brass compatibility with the intended media.
- Confirm operating pressure and 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 valve operation after installation to confirm proper forward flow and reverse-flow closure.
