Plast-O-Matic CKM Series self-closing thermoplastic check valves are used in fluid handling systems involving corrosive or aggressive fluids. These check valves prevent the backflow of fluids, ensuring unidirectional flow and preventing contamination or damage to equipment. They have a self-sealing mechanism that does not rely on gravity, mounting position or reverse flow, providing more versatile and reliable operation. These check valves have no internal sliding or loose parts, due to which they operate silently, eliminating potential slamming or vibrating noises often associated with other check valves. They can be operated at temperatures up to 180 degrees C and are available in lengths of 3-51/64, 4-3/32 and 4-45/64 inches.
