RegO® Double-Check Filler Valves incorporate a resilient upper check
valve, normally designated as a filler valve, and a lower check valve,
commonly called a back pressure check valve. Available in a range
of sizes to cover virtually all LP-Gas storage containers, these valves
are UL listed and meet NFPA standards, as well as other safety
requirements.
Flow of liquid into the storage container opens both check valves.
When flow stops, they both are designed to close automatically to
permit the operator to disconnect the hose coupling. The automatic
closing action also helps prevent the discharge of container contents
in the event of hose failure. The lower back pressure check affords
extra protection by restricting the discharge if the upper check fails to
function properly due to accidents or other causes.
The double back check construction allows emergency inspection,
repair, or replacement of the upper fill assembly without removing
product from the container. When the upper filler valve body is
removed, the lower back check valve provides a seal, permitting only
some leakage, allowing a new upper filler valve body to be installed.
