Vertical Check Valves (with Shear Groove)

OPW Vertical Check Valves are installed on suction system fuel lines directly below the inlet to the pump in the dispenser island to maintain prime. The 70 Series Valves feature a built-in shear groove, which helps minimize piping damage if the dispenser is pulled over or dislodged by collision. The single-poppet provides redundant protection from losing prime and are also available without shear grooves. OPW Vertical Check Valves are recommended for use on suction lines where the pressure does not exceed 34 feet of head (approximately 15 psi [1 bar]). 70 Series valves need 1/2" of mercury to activate the poppet.
