The NK type, with its reduced body length and its consequent reduced weight, offesr significant cost savings compared with the long pattern NB and ND types. The unique ring disc design ensures that the disc remains light and responsive even in large sizes, which is essential for rapid non-slam closure. Mounted on a multiple spring and radial guide assembly, the disc moves freely without the frictional forces. Combining two ring-shaped annular flow paths with the excellent pressure recovery properties provided by the diffuser, the minimal pressure drop across the Type N valves gives lifetime energy savings when compared to more conventional check valve designs.

Features & Benefits
- The streamlined internals of the axial check valve range allow for a turbulence free flow path through and around the disc
- The high capacity, smooth flow path results in low pressure drop across all of the axial type valves
- Noreva axial check valve designs use no soft parts and are therefore inherently fire-safe
- There are no wearing parts, for clean services, making it maintenance free
- The springs are sized according to the flow rates to ensure that the valves are in the fully open position during normal use
- The axial design ensures that the disc remains light and responsive even in large sizes
- Mounted on a multiple helical spring and radial guide assembly, the disc moves freely without any frictional forces
- With a flow path both around and through the centre of the disc the flow capacity of the valve is best in class
- Low weight discs, short stroke lengths and spring assistance combine to ensure that it responds quickest to change in flow direction
- The fast response ensures reverse velocity cannot build up to a level that can damage pumps, pipes or related equipment
- Pressure surges can occur when a valve is closed against a moving body of fluid, the quick closure results in a considerably lower pressure peak
