Ashland Water Group PCV150 Spring Loaded Check Valve

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP PCV150 is a 1.5-inch plastic spring loaded check valve designed to allow one-directional fluid flow while preventing backflow in piping systems. The spring mechanism ensures positive shutoff when forward flow stops, reducing the risk of reverse flow contamination or pressure loss. At 3 pounds, this valve is lightweight and suited for installation in water distribution, plumbing, and irrigation lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers. Its plastic construction makes it resistant to corrosion in a range of water-based applications.

The PCV150 is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing and water supply systems where a reliable inline check valve is required. Typical install scenarios include pump discharge lines, water treatment systems, and irrigation manifolds where backflow prevention is needed at a 1.5-inch pipe connection point. The valve is sold individually and is also available in package quantities of 6 units, making it practical for multi-unit service jobs or stocking purposes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing any existing valve or fitting. Confirm flow direction markings on the valve body align with intended flow direction before securing connections. Do not exceed the valve rated pressure or temperature range for the plastic body material.
