Sanitary Check Valves: A Selection Guide

Within industrial manufacturing where sanitary standards need to be met, sanitary check valves are critical to stop fluids from flow reversal through a system and causing potential cross-contamination as a result. In particular, spring-assisted check valves help maintain closure pressure and provide a tight seal.
Whether it be in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, or other industries, an effective fluid system requires sanitary check valves with the right material construction, style, and valve features for each specific application. Learn more about the different material and style options available so you choose the right products for your system.
Selecting the Best Sanitary Check Valve for Your Application
Choosing the right materials and valve style is just as important as selecting the correct size. Your needs may vary based on factors like:
Industry standards
Piping configuration and drainage needs
Fluid compatibility with chemicals in the system
Operational temperatures
Pressure rating
