Quality, Service
and Innovation
Now in its ninth decade, Conbraco Industries, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of flow control
products for U.S. and international markets. The companys headquarters is based in Matthews,
North Carolina with manufacturing plants and foundries located in Pageland and Conway,
South Carolina.
Conbraco has a history of new product development and innovation that dates back to the
companys inception in 1928. Today, the Conbraco line of products is marketed under the Apollo
Valves brand and includes: ball valves, butterfly valves, backflow prevention devices, water
pressure reducing valves, mixing valves, safety relief valves, water gauges, strainers, actuation
and APOLLOXPRESS products.
The Conbraco line continues to expand with new products, designs and advanced materials to
better serve the needs of our customers. Markets served include: chemical processing, pulp and
paper, petroleum, residential and commercial plumbing and heating, OEM, irrigation, water
works, and fire protection.
These shock waves added together are known as water hammer. It can cause extensive damage or failure to pipelines, gaskets, supports, hardware and
equipment. The result can be expensive, troublesome; even dangerous.
With Apollo check valves, the potential for water hammer is greatly reduced since the check returns to its seat before flow velocity reaches zero. Apollos check
valves set the standard for compact, economical protection against reverse flow. They provide reliable service in liquids or gases at various temperature and
pressure combinations. Because of their simple design, theyre versatile and easy to maintain.
USE IN ANY POSITION
Horizontal, vertical or upside down; liquid, air and gases; Apollos in-line checks operate in any orientation. Where frequent opening and closing cycles occur,
vertical orientation with upward flow is best. This saves time and money, eliminating the need to stock separate vertical and horizontal-operating valves. It also
makes new or replacement installation less of a headache.
Industries where Apollos check valves are used include Pulp & Paper, Chemical Processing, Agrichemical, Rubber, Petroleum, Primary Metals, Mining,
Power Generation, Textiles, Food and Beverage, Building Construction and Maintenance. Power Generation, Textiles, Food and Beverage, Building Construction

CHECK VALVES
SWING CHECK VALVES
SIZING
It is very important to optimally size check valves in order to maximize the piping system efficiencies, and minimize or eliminate check valve maintenance. If
the check valves are sized too small, they produce excessive pressure drop, reduce flow and/or require increased pump energy. If the check valves are sized too
large, the disc will not be fully open and the disc assembly will be unstable. The instability causes premature wear of associated moving components requiring
increased maintenance or even failure of the valve.
The common practice in piping is to size a check valve to fit the pipe size. However, properly sizing a check valve requires a thorough knowledge of all piping
system flow conditions(type of fluid, temperature, pressure and flow rate) as well as leakage rates, flow coefficient and cracking pressure. Properly sized check
valves frequently are smaller than the pipe in which they are used. This practice keeps velocities up so the valve operates near full open, minimizing noise and
vibration while maximizing valve life.
Below is a table showing minimum velocity (ft/sec.) necessary to hold the disc in a fully open position and stable condition. Also, the actual flowrates (Cv) at a
1.0 psid across the valve.

PRECAUTIONARY NOTE:
Not recommended for use with reciprocating pumps and similar applications which may induce repetitious vibrations.
Low flow rates which do not fully open the valve, may result in undesirable noise and premature valve failure.
Upstream flow disturbances, which create turbulence, may also result in rapid wear. Therefore, it is recommended that
