Description
–
For more than 40 years, designers and installers have used Taco Flo-Cheks in forced hot water heating systems to prevent (gravity circulation during periods when the boiler is hot, but the space heating zone is not wanted. This makes it possible to use the heating boiler to maintain domestic hot water year-round. You can also use Flo-Cheks in systems with multiple circulator zones to allow heat to flow only into the zones that are calling for heat. In addition, the thumb screw can be opened manually for gravity feed applications, if the main circulator stops operating.
Features:
Features:
- Automatically Opens When Circulator Starts Running Cast Iron, Universal Body or Bronze Sweat-In Configuration
- 125 PSI Maximum Operating Pressure (862 kPa)
- 277 degrees F Maximum Operating Temperature (136 degrees C)

Sorry I installed
First it comes with no install instructions. There is packing inside the valve itself which is painted the same color as the outside and looks like it is part of the valve. This must be removed, wonder how many people left that in unknowingly. After install I had no flow at all. I had to back off the nut, which I believe will now allow gravity flow.

I like the universal aspect of this Taco check valve
This particular product was used on the header side of a FHW hydronics system. I like the universal aspect to be able to use this particular check valve horizontally and or vertically. The downfall to this particular check valve is that it requires more black iron fittings and extra time for installation...I would have liked being able to purchase the Taco swetchek from Supplyhouse.

Q: I have a taco 220 flow check valve. Should the manual adjust be normally not touched?
Asked by jay 12 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupplyStaffYes, The valve operation is normally automatic. The manual thumb screw feature is used when the circulator pump is not functioning for gravity flow applications.

Hi, I suppose these can be installed on the return side of an hydronic system. I had lots of problems with this check valve rusting on me and then not working. I would recommend the brass ones instead which are rated for potable water. These rusted on me withing a year and the brass ones I have had installed about a year and a half and are still working well. Kyle

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffWe would think that the flow check's weight is stuck and just needs to be adjusted.

Q: My taco 218 is leaking a little up around the threaded cap and has corrosion around where water is weeping. What should I do ?

You should cut off the water supply, remove the cap and clean the threads with a wire brush, wrap the threads with Teflon tape and put the cap back on. This should stop your weeping water.

Q: I need more heat. Which way show the thumb screw be?: Tightened all the way in. or back out? Would I be able to turn the thumb screw to far out. Oh I have a TACO 220 universal flochek. thank you
Asked by Victor 15 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffBacking out the thumb screw will give you the most flow. There is a stop point on the screw that will not allow you to take it all the way out.
