Conbraco 62-101-01 Valve
The Conbraco 62-101-01 is a high-performance 1/4" female NPT stainless steel check valve engineered for aggressive industrial environments. Part of the Apollo CVB series, this spring-actuated check valve utilizes a 316 stainless steel body (ASTM A351-CF8M) and a 15% glass-filled RPTFE ball cone to ensure reliable backflow prevention and superior chemical resistance. The spring-loaded, center-guided design allows for fast seating action without the need for radial alignment, making it ideal for both horizontal and vertical installations (upward flow). With a standard cracking pressure of 0.5 psi and a straight-through flow path, this valve minimizes pressure drop while maintaining a 400 psig CWP rating and a 125 psig saturated steam rating at temperatures up to 350°F. This inline ball cone check valve is a precision component for chemical processing, pulp and paper, and demanding HVACR applications requiring leak-tight shut-off and long-term durability in corrosive process lines.
Key Benefits- Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from 316 stainless steel to withstand harsh chemicals and corrosive media common in process industries.
- Precision Seating: The RPTFE ball cone provides a tight seal and excellent wear characteristics across varying pressure ranges.
- Installation Versatility: Center-guided design eliminates the need for radial orientation, simplifying field setup in tight piping configurations.
- High Thermal Rating: Capable of handling saturated steam up to 125 psig and fluid temperatures as high as 350°F.
- Efficient Flow: Straight-through internal geometry reduces turbulence and maintains a consistent 0.85 GPM flow rate at 1 psi differential.
What is the cracking pressure of the Conbraco 62-101-01?
The standard spring is calibrated for a 0.5 psi cracking pressure, ensuring the valve opens quickly under low-flow conditions while preventing reverse flow effectively.
Can this valve be used in steam applications?
Yes, this CVB series valve is rated for saturated steam service up to 125 psig, provided the system does not exceed the 350°F temperature limit.
Is this check valve suitable for reciprocating air compressors?
Manufacturers typically do not recommend ball cone check valves for reciprocating air compressor discharge due to the high-frequency pulsations that can lead to premature wear of the internal spring and guide.
