Meet the Homewerks 1-1/4 in. D x 1-1/4 in. D FIP Brass Swing Check Valve—the dependable backflow prevention solution for residential and small commercial water lines. Crafted in brass with lead-free composition, this valve is designed to protect potable water systems while fitting seamlessly into standard 1-1/4" threaded piping. With a robust 200 psi maximum pressure and 200°F maximum temperature rating, it’s built to perform in a wide range of environments.
Why this brass swing check valve stands out
-
Lead-free brass body for safe potable water and long-lasting corrosion resistance.
-
FIP connections (female iron pipe) for straightforward, reliable threading onto male pipes, easing retrofit projects and new installs alike.
-
1-1/4" inlet and outlet compatibility with common piping sizes keeps installation simple and economical.
-
Swing valve design provides a simple, durable mechanism that closes automatically to prevent backflow when flow reverses.
-
Pressure-driven operation ensures the valve responds to real-flow conditions, promoting smooth system performance.
-
Horizontal or vertical mounting flexibility allows installation in tight spaces or awkward orientations without sacrificing function.
-
Operational range: 32°F to 200°F and up to 200 psi, accommodating typical potable water and many light-duty industrial applications.
Ideal use cases
Designed for systems where backflow prevention is essential, this Homewerks valve is well-suited for:
- Residential cold water lines and water heater feeds where back-siphonage could occur
- Irrigation and lawn-watering circuits that require protection from reverse flow
- Small commercial water lines that demand a dependable, low-profile check valve
How it works
The valve’s swing mechanism responds to forward flow by pivoting open, allowing water to pass with minimal resistance. If flow reverses, the disc swings back and seals against the seat, preventing backflow and protecting the rest of the system. Its simple, robust design means fewer potential failure points and straightforward maintenance considerations.
Installation guidance
For best results, install with the flow direction aligned to forward supply and ensure proper threading with appropriate sealant compatible with potable water systems. The 1-1/4" FIP threads make it a straightforward swap-in for existing lines or a complement to new installations. Mounting can be horizontal or vertical, so you can adapt to space constraints without sacrificing performance.
