Fail-proof check valve
Unlike metal versions, Hayward’s new thermoplastic spring loaded check valves never fail, stick or jam due to rust or corrosion. Opening pressure is hand adjustable, without tools, over a range of 2-15 psi. This represents a distinct improvement over other spring check valves that require tools or a different spring installed for a specific set opening pressure.
