Product Details
3" PVC Economy Swing Check Valve
S11-030 | SKU 100027247
This 3" economy swing check valve features PVC construction, EPDM seals, and a listed pressure rating of 150 PSI. Its swing check mechanism allows forward flow while helping prevent reverse flow.
4" PVC Economy Swing Check Valve
S11-040 | SKU 100027248
This 4" economy swing check valve features PVC construction, EPDM seals, and a listed pressure rating of 150 PSI. The valve operates automatically in response to system flow conditions.
Swing Check Mechanism
The swing check mechanism moves open under forward flow and closes when flow reverses. Unlike spring check valves, swing check valves use a swinging closure mechanism.
Reverse Flow Prevention
These valves are designed to allow flow in one direction while resisting flow in the opposite direction. Check valves are not substitutes for positive shutoff valves where manual isolation is required.
PVC Construction
PVC provides nonmetallic valve construction for compatible piping applications. Verify fluid compatibility, operating temperature, and system pressure before installation.
EPDM Seals
Both sizes feature EPDM sealing components. Confirm compatibility with the intended fluid, concentration, temperature, and operating conditions.
150 PSI Pressure Rating
Both sizes have a listed pressure rating of 150 PSI. Consult the manufacturer's documentation for applicable temperature-related pressure limitations and service restrictions.
Automatic Operation
These swing check valves operate automatically and do not require a manual handle. Flow and pressure conditions determine the position of the check mechanism.
Installation Considerations
Install the valve according to the manufacturer's specified flow direction, connection requirements, and permitted mounting orientations. Proper installation is important for check valve operation.
Economy S11 Series
The S11 series consists of economy swing check valves. These products are distinct from S12 in-line spring check valves and S13 in-line spring check foot valves.

What is the 4" valve part number?
The 4" valve is S11-040, SKU 100027248.
How does a swing check valve work?
A swing check valve uses a movable closure that opens with forward flow and closes when flow reverses, helping prevent backflow.
What is the purpose of a swing check valve?
A swing check valve permits flow in one direction and helps prevent reverse flow through the piping system.
Do these valves require manual operation?
No. These valves operate automatically in response to flow conditions.
Are these spring check valves?
No. These are S11 economy swing check valves. They are different from the S12 in-line spring check valve series.
Are these the same as the S13 spring check foot valves?
No. These are S11 economy swing check valves, not S13 in-line spring check foot valves.
Are these ball valves?
No. These are automatic swing check valves, not manual ball valves.
What material are these valves made from?
Both sizes feature PVC construction.
What type of seals do they use?
Both sizes use EPDM seals.
What is the pressure rating?
Both sizes have a listed pressure rating of 150 PSI. Review the manufacturer's documentation for service limitations.
Can these valves be installed in any direction?
Installation orientation and flow direction must follow the manufacturer's instructions. Confirm the permitted mounting positions before installation.
Are these suitable for chemical service?
Suitability depends on compatibility with PVC and EPDM, along with fluid concentration, operating temperature, pressure, and other service conditions.
Can these valves replace a manual shutoff valve?
No. Swing check valves operate automatically and should not replace a positive shutoff valve when manual isolation is required.
Where can I find technical documentation?
The manufacturer's Valves Specification Sheet is available in the Product Resources & Support section above.
