Frequently asked questions
Common questions about HAMMOND VALVE from 3G Electric.
What are the key specifications of Hammond Valve brass inline swing check valves available from 3G Electric?
Hammond Valve brass inline swing check valves supplied by 3G Electric are available in sizes from 3/4 inch to 2 inches. Models include the 967 series with FNPT x FNPT connections and the 968 series with sweat x sweat connections. The valve body is made of brass, with a swing disc mechanism for backflow prevention. These valves are rated for standard pressure and temperature applications, typically up to 200 psi WOG and 150°C, though exact ratings should be verified per the manufacturer's datasheet for each specific SKU.
What is the difference between the Hammond Valve 967 and 968 series swing check valves?
The primary difference between the Hammond Valve 967 and 968 series swing check valves is the end connection type. The 967 series features FNPT (female national pipe thread) connections on both ends, allowing for threaded pipe installation. The 968 series uses sweat (solder) connections, which require soldering to copper tubing. Both series are constructed from brass and have an inline valve body design with a swing disc. The choice depends on the piping system's connection method.
Can Hammond Valve brass swing check valves be used for hot water applications?
Yes, Hammond Valve brass swing check valves are suitable for hot water applications within their rated temperature limits. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and thermal stability. For the models supplied by 3G Electric, the maximum operating temperature is typically around 150°C (300°F), but you should confirm the exact rating for the specific SKU by reviewing the manufacturer's documentation. These valves are commonly used in HVAC and boiler systems.
What is the working pressure rating for Hammond Valve brass swing check valves?
Hammond Valve brass swing check valves, such as the 967 and 968 series, are generally rated for a working pressure of up to 200 psi WOG (water, oil, gas). This rating applies to standard temperature conditions. For applications involving higher temperatures or non-standard media, the pressure rating may be derated. Always consult the product datasheet for the specific SKU to ensure it meets your system's requirements.
