Parker 8A-C8L-1-BN-B Check Valve 1/2 in Compression Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 8A-C8L-1-BN-B is a 1/2 inch inline check valve with compression x compression end connections and a brass body. It is rated at 3,000 WOG (water, oil, gas), making it suitable for demanding fluid and gas control applications. The stainless steel spring provides reliable backflow prevention across service cycles. This valve is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians in systems where one-directional flow must be maintained and backflow or pressure reversal must be prevented.

This check valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration piping, compressed air lines, and general fluid service where a compression-to-compression connection is required. The inline body design allows for straightforward installation in existing runs without special fittings. Its brass construction handles a range of compatible media including water, oil, and gas at pressures up to 3,000 WOG.

Key Features

• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance in water, oil, and gas service
• Stainless steel spring for consistent seating force and long service life
• Compression x compression end connections for tool-accessible, sweat-free installation
• 3,000 WOG pressure rating for high-pressure fluid and gas applications
• Inline valve design simplifies installation in straight pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation check valve for 1/2 inch compression-fitting pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC, and general fluid service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the fluid or gas supply and depressurize the line fully before removing any existing valve or fitting. Compression fittings require proper ferrule seating and should be tightened per the fitting manufacturer guidelines without over-torquing. Verify flow direction against the arrow or marking on the valve body before completing the installation.
