A dual wafer check valve (dual plate check valve) uses two spring-loaded plates that fold open with forward flow and close instantly when flow reverses. This design has a much shorter face-to-face, lower pressure drop, and eliminates water hammer. In contrast, a swing check valve relies on a heavy disc that swings fully open, taking up more space and closing slowly, which can cause damaging surges.

For standard water and wastewater, a WCB body with SS 316 plates and EPDM seat is the most cost-effective choice. For corrosive or brackish water, we recommend CF8M (SS 316) body with Super Duplex springs and Viton seals. We always provide a detailed material recommendation based on your specific media and pressure.

Our standard lead time for stock materials (WCB/SS 316, Class 150/300) is 30–45 days to US ports (Los Angeles, Houston, New York). For specialized alloys or high-pressure classes (Class 600+), typical lead time is 45–60 days. We also offer express air freight for urgent orders, delivering in 5–7 working days.

We ship FOB, CIF, or DDP (delivered duty paid) to any US address. Payment terms are flexible: T/T, L/C, and sometimes net 30 after credit evaluation. Our CIF prices to major US ports are very competitive because we ship high volumes and have contracted freight rates with major carriers.
