Piston Check Valve -- API 6D WCB

Technical Datasheet -- Spring-Assisted Lift Check Valves for Horizontal and Vertical Service

Document No.SV-DATA-PCV-001
RevisionA
DateMay 2026
ManufacturerSupreme Valves India, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India

Piston (lift) check valves for horizontal and vertical pipeline service. Spring-assisted or non-spring disc lifts with forward flow and returns to seat on flow reversal. Compact face-to-face per API 594 short pattern. Low cracking pressure (0.05 bar non-spring). Can be installed in any orientation with appropriate spring selection. API 6D / ASME B16.34 compliant.
