Every pipeline system that moves fluid through pumps, compressors, and process equipment needs protection against reverse flow. ValvesOnly Canada has grown into the top, producing automatic non-return valve solutions for oil and gas, water treatment, power generation, and marine industries across domestic and international markets.
Every check valve manufactured by ValvesOnly Canada is built for dependable non-return operation, stable sealing performance, and long service life across varying flow and pressure conditions.
What Makes Check Valves Essential in Process Systems?
A check valve is an automatic non-return valve that allows flow in one direction and prevents reverse flow through pressure differential alone, with no external actuation or power supply required. When forward flow is present, the disc moves away from the seat and flow passes through. The moment flow reverses, the closure element returns to the seat automatically, protecting pumps, compressors, and downstream equipment from back pressure damage and water hammer.
Check Valve Designs Manufactured:
ValvesOnly Canada manufactures check valves across a range of design types, each suited to specific flow characteristics, pressure conditions, and installation requirements.
- Dual Plate Check Valve – Compact wafer-style design with spring-assisted fast closing action for systems where space and rapid response are priorities
- Non Slam Swing Check Valve – Engineered to reduce water hammer and reverse flow impact in systems where sudden closure causes pressure surges
- Tilting Disc Check Valve – Faster response design that minimises flow reversal before closure in high-velocity systems
- Pressure Seal Swing Check Valve – Pressure-assisted sealing for high-pressure and high-temperature pipeline service
- Swing Check Valve – Hinged disc design for low-pressure drop applications in horizontal pipeline service
- Lift Check Valve – Vertical lift disc design for controlled high-pressure service
- Single Plate Wafer Check Valve – Lightweight compact configuration for space-constrained installations
- Forged Steel Swing Check Valve – High-strength forged body for demanding high-pressure industrial service

Getting Check Valve Selection Right:
Selecting the right check valve ensures long-term equipment protection and reliable system performance. Fast-response designs suit high-velocity systems, non-slam designs help minimize water hammer, and swing or lift configurations can be matched to specific installation requirements. Choosing the appropriate design, pressure class, and material grade helps maintain dependable operation throughout the valve's service life.
