DESCRIPTION
The check valve 50A is used when two or more agent cylinder assemblies are connected to the distribution piping through a manifold. It prevents backflow and loss of extinguishing agent and possible injury of personnel if the system is operated and discharged when an agent cylinder is disconnected or removed for maintenance. The inlet side of check valve 50A has internal taper threads and is connected to the flexible hose 50A while the outlet side is connected to the manifold via the manifold welding socket. The check valve 50A comes with a rubber packing seal that must be properly inserted into the manifold welding socket during installation to ensure air-tight connection.
