<p>- l A check valve which has top and bottom flanges and a valve body thereinbetween. The flanges have aligned holes therethrough which serve as an inlet (bottom flange) and an outlet (top flange) for fluid flowing through the valve. A spherical ball is contained within the valve body and rests on a ball seat surrounding the inlet. A top plate is positioned adjacent to the top flange and has an opening therethrough which diverges concentrically toward the outlet opening, and a ring shaped ball stop which receives the ball when it is forced away from the ball seat by the fluid is positioned between the top plate and the top of the ball. Also, the inlet may have a restricted portion so that a diverging portion of the inlet opens into the valve body.</p> |
