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.

 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."
