Flomatic’s ball check valves are anti-roping and self-cleaning with no sharp edges or snag points, which helps to prevent clogging from non-flushable wipes and other non-degradable sanitary products. They have been proven in wastewater lift stations for decades with a simple and reliable design.

This design is virtually maintenance free with features that include a clean-out cover — providing easy access to the inside of the valve without removal of the valve from the pipeline — a Nitrile (Buna-N) covered metal sinking ball, and corrosion-resistant stainless steel fasteners. The Model 408S6 ball check valve also includes heavy duty bosses to accommodate NPT tappings for additional optional components.

Flomatic offers one of the most complete lines of Ball Check Valves, which are especially designed for demanding wastewater lift stations. The valves have no moving parts except for the Buna-N vulcanized metal ball, which moves out of the flow path for reduced head loss and a longer service life.

Floating balls are also available for flood control or air vent applications. The optional floating balls prevent the overflow of rising water, protect against backflow from drains, and can be used as an air vent to purge air when filling tanks or pipes. WW

Designing and developing a wide variety of valve products – from high quality check valves to automatic control valves ranging from 1″ through 36″ – Flomatic Valves is an ISO 9001 and 14001 certified manufacturer offering comprehensive manufacturing solutions and a wide variety of AIS-compliant offerings.
