Part Number: S13-020
SKU: 100027257
This 2" PVC in-line spring check foot valve features EPDM seals and a listed pressure rating of 150 PSI. The spring-operated check mechanism responds automatically to system flow and pressure conditions.
In-Line Check Valve Design
The S13 series uses an in-line check valve configuration to control flow direction. Install the valve according to the manufacturer's specified flow direction and mounting requirements.
Spring-Operated Mechanism
The spring mechanism assists valve closure when forward flow decreases or reverses. Opening behavior depends on the pressure differential and the valve's operating characteristics.
Reverse Flow Prevention
Check valves are designed to allow flow in one direction and resist flow in the opposite direction. They are not substitutes for positive shutoff or isolation valves where those functions are required.
PVC Construction
PVC provides nonmetallic construction for compatible piping systems. Verify operating temperature, pressure, and fluid compatibility before installation.
EPDM Seals
All three sizes feature EPDM sealing components. Compatibility depends on the fluid, chemical concentration, temperature, pressure, and operating conditions.
150 PSI Pressure Rating
All three configurations have a listed pressure rating of 150 PSI. Consult the manufacturer's documentation for temperature-related pressure limitations and other operating restrictions.
Installation Considerations
Confirm the required piping connections, flow direction, installation orientation, and system operating conditions. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of valves are these?
These are Tigre DuraPlastic S13 series PVC in-line spring check foot valves with EPDM seals.
What sizes are available?
The available nominal sizes are 1-1/4", 1-1/2", and 2".
What is the 1-1/4" valve part number?
The 1-1/4" valve is manufacturer part number S13-012, SKU 100027255.
What is the 1-1/2" valve part number?
The 1-1/2" valve is manufacturer part number S13-015, SKU 100027256.
What is the 2" valve part number?
The 2" valve is manufacturer part number S13-020, SKU 100027257.
How does a spring check valve work?
A spring check valve opens when sufficient pressure differential allows flow in the intended direction. The spring assists closure when forward flow decreases or reverse pressure develops.
What is the purpose of a check valve?
A 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 and pressure conditions.
Are these ball valves?
No. These are spring-operated check foot valves, not manual ball valves.
Are these single union or true union ball valves?
No. These products are identified as in-line spring check foot valves rather than single union or true union ball valves.
What material are these valves made from?
These valves feature PVC construction.
What type of seals do they use?
All three listed configurations use EPDM seals.
What is the pressure rating?
All three sizes have a listed pressure rating of 150 PSI. Review the manufacturer's documentation for operating 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 the fluid concentration, operating temperature, pressure, and other service conditions.
Can these valves replace a manual shutoff valve?
No. Check valves operate automatically and should not be used in place of 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.
