Wafer Check Valve Types We Supply
Select the variant that matches your project requirement. Our wafer dual plate check valves (Non-Return Valves) are designed for compact, lightweight, and reliable backflow prevention in vertical or horizontal pipelines. All valves are supplied from verified Indian manufacturers with API 598 testing and full documentation support including GST invoice, MTC, and hydrostatic test certificates.
SS304 Wafer Check Valve
CF8 body with EPDM or PTFE seat. Ideal for potable water, HVAC, and mild chemical services where chloride levels are low.
SS316 Wafer Check Valve
CF8M body with EPDM or PTFE seat. Mandatory for seawater, chloride-rich environments, aggressive chemical processing, and pharma.
PTFE Seated Wafer Check Valve
Universal chemical resistance for aggressive acids, alkalis, and solvents. Suitable for high-temperature applications up to 180°C.
EPDM Seated Wafer Check Valve
Cost-effective, resilient sealing for water, HVAC chilled/hot water, and mild industrial services up to 120°C.
Body Material Selection: SS304 vs SS316
Choosing the correct stainless steel grade ensures long valve life and safe operation in your specific service conditions. The most common specification error in EPC projects is using SS304 in chloride-rich or aggressive chemical environments, leading to pitting corrosion and premature valve failure.
| Body Material | Best Suited For | Compatible Media | Avoid For |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS304 (CF8) | Potable water systems, HVAC chilled/hot water loops, DM water, mild chemical service, food and beverage (non-chloride), pharma non-GMP utility piping. | Potable water, DM water, mild chemical, neutral pH fluids, low-chloride environments. | Chloride-rich water, seawater, aggressive acid/alkali, coastal marine environments — use SS316 instead. |
| SS316 (CF8M) | Chemically treated cooling water, seawater and coastal installations, aggressive chemical process, pharma GMP process lines, food GMP processing, offshore and marine applications. | Chloride media, treated water, corrosive chemical, moderate acid/alkali, seawater. | Highly reducing acids (e.g., hot concentrated HCl) — requires specialized alloys like Hastelloy or PTFE lining. |
Procurement Tip for EPC Projects
Always verify the process fluid composition, chloride content (ppm), and operating temperature before selecting the body material. For any application involving chlorides above 200 ppm, treated cooling water, or coastal exposure, upgrade to SS316. The cost difference between SS304 and SS316 is typically 15–25%, but the cost of emergency replacement and plant downtime due to pitting corrosion is exponentially higher.
Seat Material Selection: EPDM vs PTFE
The seat provides bubble-tight shut-off against the dual plates. Selecting the correct seat material is as important as selecting the body material. An incompatible seat will degrade, swell, or harden quickly, leading to leakage and water hammer issues.
| Seat Material | Temperature Range | Specify When | Do NOT Use When |
|---|---|---|---|
| EPDM | -40°C to +120°C | HVAC chilled and hot water, potable water, treated cooling water, ozone-treated water — most common and economical seat for water infrastructure. | Oil, fuel, petroleum products, hydrocarbons, strong oxidizing acids — EPDM swells and degrades in these media. |
| PTFE | -10°C to +180°C | Chemical service (acid, alkali, solvent), high temperature above 120°C, aggressive process media where elastomer chemical compatibility is insufficient. | Standard water service where EPDM is adequate — PTFE has higher crack pressure, higher cost, and is unnecessary for clean water. |

Industries and Applications
Water & Wastewater Treatment
Pump discharge protection, ETP/STP outlet lines. SS304 with EPDM seat is standard for clean water; SS316 with EPDM for treated/chemically dosed water.
HVAC Systems
Chilled water and condenser water pump discharge. Prevents reverse flow and water hammer. SS304 body with EPDM seat is the industry standard for commercial HVAC.
Chemical & Process Plants
Aggressive chemical service in Gujarat GIDC estates (Ankleshwar, Vapi, Dahej). SS316 body with PTFE seat is specified for acids, alkalis, and solvents to prevent corrosion and ensure zero leakage.
Pharmaceutical & Food
SS316 (CF8M) body for utility piping, DM water, purified water (PW), and cooling circuits. MTC and surface finish certificates available for GMP compliance.
Power Plants
Cooling water circulation and auxiliary systems. Large bore SS316 wafer check valves prevent reverse flow during pump trip, protecting expensive pumping equipment.
EPC & Infrastructure
Bulk project supply for government water supply tenders, industrial estate water distribution, and sewage treatment schemes. Complete BOM supply with API 598 test certificates.
