Applications were Non Slam Check Valves are not suitable

  • Lines which require pigging as the Non Slam Check Valve is not a full bore piggable valve*.
  • Were immediate purchase cost is the most important factor over the actual lifetime cost of ownership. At Europa Valve, our Non Slam Check Valve is high quality, specifically made for unique locations and applications. Therefore it will not compete with low cost commodity products which are mass produced to low quality in low cost countries purely of price and not performance.

* A piggable valve is essentially a valve that allows a pipeline pig can pass through it. The valve has a bore the same size as the pipeline that it is attached to; there are no obstructions when fully opened.
