Check & Safety Valves for Air Compressors

Home > Industrial Products > Check & Safety Valves for Air Compressors

We are a leading manufacturer of high quality valves serving the compressed air, pressure washer, automotive, fluid power, fire protection, specialty gas, and pneumatic industries.

Types of Valves

The types of valves we carry include, but are not limited to:

  • ASME Safety Valves
  • In-Tank Check Valves
  • In-Line Cast Brass Check Valves

The Model “ST” safety valve is our standard safety valve for small air compressor systems and related applications. Even though the size is compact, flow capacities are high.

Resilient rubber pad, offered in silicone or flourocarbon, insures valve is bubble-tight to within 10% of set pressure. Three inlet sizes are available: 1/8″ NPT, 1/4″ NPT, and 3/8″ NPT.

All brass construction with zinc-plated music wire spring. Stamped with “UV” and “NB” symbols. Available set pressure range 25 PSI to 250 PSI. Set pressure tolerance +3% of set pressure. 250°F max. temperature.

The Super-Chek® design has been proven over the last 15 years to be the standard for air compressor in-tank check valves. One-piece brass bodies, stainless steel springs, and glass-filled fluoropolymer poppets all add up to long term reliability, while the eight discharge holes insure quiet operation. 

Valves may be disassembled for cleaning or repair. Valves are 100% tested for backflow leakage performance. 450 PSI max pressure, 400 deg. F max temperature.
