Application of Counter Balance

Swing Check Valves operate in response to a fluid stream flow opening a swinging disc. As the fluid stream slows and reverses, the
disc responds by swinging to the closed position. Sudden reversal of flow direction can result in "slamming" condition as the disc
closes. The function of the Counter Balance mechanism is to start the disc closing earlier as the fluid stream begins to slow so that it is
almost closed when flow reversal takes place, thereby eliminating slamming of the disc. Available as installed unit with valve or as a kit
for adaptation of installed valves.
