Check Valves
Sanitary valves are designed for use in applications requiring clean or sterile processing. In order for a valve be considered sanitary it must NOT have crevices or cavities that can trap media which bacteria can feed on and multiply. The wetted surfaces (that contact the process media) must be polished and radiuses must be of a minumum size to avoid media clinging or entrapment. While plastic, brass, and other materials are acceptable for use in sanitary applications, stainless steel is preferred by most.

Check Valves
: Check valves, available in stainless steel SS304 or SS316, are an ideal solution along any Tri Clamp fitted system to mitigate backflow. Each Tri Clamp check valve is 3A certified to meet high sanitary standards, has a ½ PSI break pressure, and comes with an EPDM seal. Other Tri Clamp sizes are available per special order.
