Kennedy Valve / Check Valves 15-1

Kennedy Swing Check Valves

A.W.W.A. C508 was developed in 1976 to set a standard for the manufacture, testing and application of Iron Body
Bronze Mounted (IBBM) Check Valves. The valves are designed with an iron body and include either metal-to-
metal or composition-to-metal seating.
Kennedy Swing Check Valves are designed and manufactured in conformance with A.W.W.A. C508 and are for
use on water, oil and gas lines. Under certain circumstances where it is desirable to have more positive control of
the closing of the disc, the valves can be supplied with either lever-and-spring or lever-and-weight. For restricted
spacing requirements Kennedy Valve manufactures a Wafer Check Valve that also helps to control water hammer.

15-2 Kennedy Valve / Check Valves
KENNEDY CHECK VALVES
It is generally recommended, that when using Kennedy swing
check valves, that you locate the valve at least 5 to 10 pipe di-
ameters down stream from any flow disturbance or obstruction
(valve, pump, elbow, reducer, etc.). Turbulence close to the check
valve may result in valve "chatter" resulting in premature failure
of the check valve.
As stated in AWWA C508, "Conditions of water hammer, hydraulic
pulsation, and excessive operating noise are results of system
design rather than valve design and are beyond the scope of this
standard and require special design and construction consider-
ations."

Kennedy Valve / Check Valves 15-7
Kennedy Iron Swing Check Valves UL/FM
Underwriters/Factory Mutual
Underwriters Canada
Kennedy Swing Check Valves are for use where backflow is to be prevented. The disc is designed with ample
tolerances to compensate for seat ring wear. The spinning action of the disc creates a regrinding effect that cleans
the seat ring of foreign particles. The disc is also self-adjusting. All moving parts of these valves are bronze to
bronze, minimizing wear and corrosion problems.
These valves are listed by Underwriters Laboratories and approved by Factory Mutual Fire Research Corp. and
have body markings UL and FM signifying the listing and approval.

The Kennedy Figure 426 Grooved End Swing Check Valve is a lightweight unit that features a top access cover for
field maintenance. The valves are intended to be easily installed with approved grooved couplings. They may be
installed either with the flow in a vertical position (flow up) or horizontally. All valves have a
1

the inlet side for installation of a
1

The Kennedy Figure 426 R Grooved Check Valve may be used as a Riser Check Valve. This valve would be
a lightweight substitute for an Alarm Valve Assembly. The valve is intended to be installed vertically in a sprinkler
riser, with appropriate trim (optional purchase). Each valve is tapped

pressure gauges, and 1

15-14 Kennedy Valve / Check Valves
Cushion Check (Must specify vertical or horizontal installation when ordering)
If possible, it is preferable to eliminate water hammer. The best way to eliminate water hammer is in the design
of the piping system. For most cases where water hammer exists it is preferable to reduce its effects by causing
the check valve to close so quickly that the flow is not able to reverse. Kennedy Valve makes a Figure 706 Wafer
Check Valve that is intended as an anti-water hammer valve. Kennedy Valve also has available lever and weight
and lever and spring arrangements on the Figure 1106 Check Valve.
In some cases the customer may want an arrangement that retards the closing of the check valve. The customer
may want such an arrangement for those cases where the water column actually has an opportunity to reverse or
even separate, such as might occur when the check valve is not at the lowest elevation in the system.

For those customers, Kennedy Valve makes available the Figure 1206 Cushion Check Valve. The Figure 1206
Cushion Check Valve is a Figure 1106, AWWA valve with a lever and weight and a pneumatic cylinder arrange-
ment. The pneumatic cylinder has a needle valve that allows the customer to adjust the time required for the valve
to close.

arrangement is available mounted on either side unless specified the Figure 1206 valve will be supplied with the

GUARD YOUR WATER SYSTEM FROM ACCIDENT OR ATTACK
Kennedy Valve
Kennedy Valve
Patriot Hydrant Check Valve
Threats to water supply can come from either accidental or deliberate
acts. Our nations water superintendents have safeguarded nearly all of the
access points to our drinking water. At this time one critical access point left
unprotected is the re hydrant.
The Patriot Hydrant Check Valve prevents reverse ow through the re hydrant,
safely protecting our drinking water while providing a full port unobstructed
waterway that allows our reghters the water they need when they need it.
Unlike locks and special external devices, the Patriot is installed underground
which prevents tampering and allows the hydrant to be operated the moment
the reghters arrive on the scene. The Patriot check valve can be installed
on any 6" mechanical joint connection, ensuring compatibility with all hydrant
brandsproviding the exibility and cost effectiveness you demand.
