It's machined metal on metal. It will seal just fine. I use them in hydronic heat applications where rubber would not be advisable. This is an excellent check valve when installed correctly in a horizontal position. Jay Clark Managing Partner Critical Infrastructure Mapping LLC Geospatial Services
Only horizontal. For vertical you need a spring loaded valve. Jay Clark Managing Partner Critical Infrastructure Mapping LLC - Geospatial Services
The temperature rating on this check valve is 180 degrees Fahrenheit so it would not work in a steam application
If the operating pressure of the hydraulic ram does not exceed the pressure of the check valve then yes, it will work. If the hydraulic pressure in the ram exceeds the operating pressure of the valve it will not work. To answer the question the user needs to understand the pressures involved.

No excessive pressure drop. It will prevent back flow, but most inspectors will not accept on a domestic water supply.
The item is made of Bronze and hence environmentally safe. Yes you can use in the city Waterline. And Yes, there is very negligible pressure drop. The valve will close when the flow is reversed( due to reverse differentials). Hope This answer your concerns. http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/trackhttp://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/t rack
No, you will not notice any pressure drop or change whatsoever. The valve is used to precent backflow, if it does not, then the valve is not operating correctly. drVinnie
The valve diaphragm( made of Bronze) inside the valve floats vertically due to gravity. The valve opens in the direction indicated due to forward water pressure . But it shuts closes in the opposite direction to prevent back flow. Hence the water cannot flow in both direction. You may need a solenoid operated valve to meet your needs to disable for your application.

The valves are rated up to 180°F.
Yes, this valve should work for you.
You most likely have a fautly foot valve. If your pump is a submersible(in the well), the "foot" valve should be located in the well at the connection between the pump and the tubing. If your pump is located external to the well, then there is normally a foot valve at the bottom of your "in-well" tubing, at the inlet strainer. You can install a check valve at the water tank to prevent losss of pressure, but there is the risk that your pump may loose it's prime during periods of no water usage.
No, it cannot be installed in a vertical position, as per the manufacturer.
You could make a short section of horizontal pipe and mount it there. Then continue your pipe in the former direction.
No, it cannot be.
