In industrial piping systems, maintaining consistent fluid direction is critical to ensure safety and efficiency. That's where the Single Disc Check Valve plays a vital role. Designed to prevent backflow automatically, this valve uses a single disc that opens when fluid flows in the correct direction and closes immediately when flow reverses. This simple yet effective mechanism makes it an essential component across industries such as water treatment, oil and gas, power plants, and chemical processing.
At Zhejiang Zhongguan Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd., we specialize in designing and producing high-quality Single Disc Check Valves that combine durability, precision, and long service life.
A Single Disc Check Valve, also known as a swing check valve, is a one-way valve that allows fluid to flow freely in one direction while automatically closing to prevent reverse flow. It consists mainly of a valve body, disc, hinge, and seat. When fluid moves in the desired direction, the pressure lifts the disc off the seat, allowing flow to continue. When the flow stops or reverses, gravity or reverse pressure causes the disc to return to its closed position.
This self-acting design requires no external control, making it ideal for systems where backflow prevention is crucial without human intervention.
Our Single Disc Check Valves are engineered with precision to deliver consistent performance in demanding environments. Below are the key features that distinguish our products:
Compact Structure: Simple design with fewer moving parts ensures easy installation and maintenance.
Low Pressure Drop: Streamlined internal flow path minimizes energy loss.
Corrosion Resistance: Made from premium materials suitable for harsh chemical or marine environments.
Tight Sealing: Ensures reliable shut-off to prevent leakage and system contamination.
Long Service Life: Designed for high cycle durability under varying flow conditions.

Power Generation Plants – Ensures stable operation of cooling and fuel systems.
Oil and Gas Pipelines – Protects equipment from surge pressures.
Chemical and Petrochemical Industries – Handles corrosive or high-temperature media safely.
HVAC and Firefighting Systems – Maintains pressure balance and safety compliance.
Whether in municipal systems or industrial processing lines, this valve plays a vital role in maintaining stable, one-directional flow.
Q1: What is the main function of a Single Disc Check Valve?
A1: Its primary function is to allow flow in one direction and prevent reverse flow automatically, protecting pumps and pipelines from damage caused by backflow or water hammer.
Q2: How do I choose the right Single Disc Check Valve for my system?
A2: Selection depends on factors such as fluid type, pressure, temperature, and installation space. At Zhejiang Zhongguan Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd., our engineers can recommend the best model based on your specific requirements.
Q3: Can a Single Disc Check Valve be installed vertically?
A3: Yes, it can be installed both horizontally and vertically, provided that the flow direction aligns correctly with the valve's design. Vertical installation is typically used for upward flow applications.
Q4: What maintenance does a Single Disc Check Valve require?
A4: Regular inspection of the disc, seat, and hinge components ensures continued reliability. Cleaning or replacing worn seals will maintain tight shut-off and prevent leakage.
In today's competitive industrial landscape, ensuring system stability and safety is non-negotiable. A Single Disc Check Valve delivers automatic protection against reverse flow, low maintenance costs, and long-lasting reliability—all within a compact design.
