Magic Plastics 0823-15C 1-1/2 in. Union x Union Clear Smart Check Valve
Brand: Magic Plastics | SKU: 0823-15C
Product Overview
The Magic Plastics 0823-15C Smart Check Valve provides backflow protection in a serviceable union-to-union design for 1-1/2 in. piping. Its 1/2 lb. spring-loaded gate is designed for full-flow operation and allows the valve to be installed horizontally or vertically, making it easier to fit into existing plumbing layouts. The light spring action also helps reduce the slamming and water-hammer noise associated with conventional check valves.
Union connections make the valve body accessible for inspection or service without rebuilding the surrounding piping. The clear body also makes it easier to visually check valve operation. Use the 0823-15C where a 1-1/2 in. union check valve is appropriate and confirm system pressure, temperature and piping requirements before installation.
