Note: For flanged versions of Model RF-DBI-LH Low Head Loss In-Line Rubber Check Valves the integrated rubber flange 

can be located on either the inlet or discharge end depending on required installation orientation.

This type of rubber check valve is designed with a full metal enclosure (Model RF-DBJ Shroud) which allows easy

installation in existing piping systems. Flanges are drilled to ANSI 125/150# standard but other drill patterns are available 

upon request.

Model RF-DBJ Shroud

This type of rubber check valve is designed to slip directly inside of an existing pipe with the supplied stainless steel expandable 

clamp or retaining ring to secure in place; it can be fastened from either the inlet or discharge end of the valve. The standard 

Model RF-DBI-LH valve must be installed in a truly round pipe. Out of round pipe may cause distortion of the valve causing 

valve failure.
