What is a Swing Check Valve?

Swing Check Valve

A Swing Check Valve, also known as a Non-Return Valve (NRV), is a valve that allows fluid to flow in only one direction. It features a movable disc that swings on a hinge, either onto the seat to block reverse flow or off the seat to allow forward flow. Swing check valves are widely used in piping systems to prevent backflow which could damage pumps, compressors, or other expensive equipment. They are suitable for low-velocity applications where flow reversal is infrequent.

Working Principle

The swing check valve operates automatically based on the direction of fluid flow. When fluid flows in the intended direction, the pressure of the fluid pushes the disc up and away from the seat, allowing the fluid to pass through. When the flow stops or reverses, gravity and the back-pressure of the fluid push the disc back onto the seat, creating a seal that prevents the fluid from flowing backward. This simple, self-actuating mechanism ensures reliable protection for your piping infrastructure.
