Feeding at the bottom of the storage tank – the sequence of check valves and gate valves
Thread Content
Feeding is done at the bottom of the storage tank; a check valve is installed to prevent the material from flowing back when the pump stops. I saw a check valve directly connected to the outlet at the bottom of the tank, with a gate valve beside it； Shouldn’t it be reversed? Is there any particular order?
There should be no problem; when the pump stops, the gate valve may not be able to close properly, but the check valve can take over and prevent backflow
The check valve is next to the tank, while the gate valve is behind it.
It’s better for the check valve to be next to the tank, with the gate valve behind it.
It’s better if the check valve is located near the tank!
It is necessary to consider that when servicing the check valve, the fluid can be effectively shut off.
The check valve is next to the tank, while the gate valve is behind it
Why not feed from above?
