Orientation of the valve stem (spring shaft)<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anphuthanhvalve.com\/en\/check-valve\/\">The dual plate check valve<\/a> has two half-moon discs that open and close around a single stainless steel pin in the middle. If installed incorrectly (stem horizontal on a horizontal pipe), gravity will always pull the lower disc downward while the upper disc is pressed back against its stop. As a result, the sagging lower disc wears the rubber sealing groove unevenly, the valve soon starts to leak, and it does not open through its full stroke.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Correct installation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Horizontal pipelines:<\/strong> The valve body must be rotated so that the stem is vertical, perpendicular to the ground (pointing only in the 12 o&#8217;clock \u2013 6 o&#8217;clock direction).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vertical pipelines:<\/strong> Install only when the flow runs from BOTTOM TO TOP (so that gravity and the force of the water help both discs open and close evenly). Never install on a pipeline with downward flow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. Disc opening and pipe bore clearance\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unlike gate valves or ordinary butterfly valves, whose discs sit entirely within the body, the discs of a dual plate check valve protrude beyond the body thickness by a distance equal to the radius R (see the dimension table) when fully open.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Installation risk:<\/strong> If you use pipe with a wall that is too thick (or plastic\/composite pipe with an inside diameter smaller than the D2 value), the two discs will jam against the inner edge of the pipe bore or the flange when they swing open. The valve then cannot open 100%, which obstructs the flow and creates a tearing stress on the discs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong> Before tightening the flanges, the engineer should manually swing both discs fully open to check whether they rub against the edge of the connecting pipe bore.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14794\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14794\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14794 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/anphuthanhvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/van-1-chieu-buom-YDK-2.jpg\" alt=\"Van co\u0301 th\u00ea\u0309 l\u0103\u0301p \u0111\u0103\u0323t tr\u00ean tuy\u00ea\u0301n \u00f4\u0301ng n\u0103\u0300m ngang va\u0300 n\u0103\u0300m \u0111\u01b0\u0301ng\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anphuthanhvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/van-1-chieu-buom-YDK-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/anphuthanhvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/van-1-chieu-buom-YDK-2-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anphuthanhvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/van-1-chieu-buom-YDK-2-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/anphuthanhvalve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/van-1-chieu-buom-YDK-2-600x375.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14794\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Valves can be installed on both horizontal and vertical pipelines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">3.
