1. DESCRIPTION
The Viking Swing Check Valve is a general purpose rubber-faced check valve ap-
proved for use in fire protection systems. The Swing Check Valve is manufactured
with a ductile iron body, brass seat, and a rubber-faced clapper assembly, hinged to
a removable access cover for easy inspection and maintenance.
The valve may be installed vertically or horizontally with access cover facing up. For
availability of flanged-flanged and grooved-grooved options, refer to Table 1. Tapped
openings (with plugs) and gauge connections are provided on both the inlet and
outlet chambers of the valve.
FEATURES
A. Ductile iron body for less weight and extra strength.
B. Rated to 300 psi (20.7 bar) water working pressure.
C. Rubber-faced clapper hinged to access cover for quick removal and easy servic-
ing. All moving parts can be serviced without removing the valve from the installed

position.
D. With the cover/clapper assembly removed, the clapper rubber replacement re-
quires removal of only one screw.
E. Can be installed vertically or horizontally with access cover facing up.

4. INSTALLATION
The Swing Check Valve must be installed in an area not subject to physical damage. When corrosive atmospheres and/or contami-
nated water supplies are present, it is the owner’s responsibility to verify compatibility with the Swing Check Valve and associated
equipment. Prior to installing the valve, thoroughly flush the water supply piping to verify that no foreign matter is present. The
Swing Check Valve may be installed in the vertical position with direction of flow up, or in the horizontal position with the access
cover up.
Systems with water working pressures above 175 psi (12 bar) may require extra-heavy pattern fittings. Viking Swing Check Valve
flanges are Ductile Iron ANSI B16.42, Class 150, with a maximum water working pressure of 300 psi (20.7 bar). ANSI B16.42,
Class 150 flanges are not compatible with ANSI Class 250 or Class 300 flanges. To mate the Viking Swing Check Valve with ANSI
Class 250 or Class 300 flanges, use the grooved-inlet/grooved-outlet style installed with listed grooved/flanged adapters of the
appropriate pressure rating. For piping with grooved connections, the grooved-inlet/grooved-outlet style Swing Check Valve may
be installed with listed grooved couplings of the appropriate pressure rating.

5. OPERATION (Refer to Figure 1)

Flow through the Viking Swing Check Valve lifts the rubber-gasketed clapper (8, and 9) off the seat (12) to enter the sprinkler pip-
ing. When flow through the valve stops, the clapper (8) closes quickly. The rubber gasket (9) forms a tight seal against the brass
water seat (12), trapping pressure above the clapper and preventing reverse flow from sprinkler piping.
Hydrostatic Test:
The Swing Check Valve is manufactured and listed for use at a maximum water working pressure of 300 psi (20.7 bar). The valve
is factory tested at 600 psi (41.4 bar). Check Valves may be hydrostatically tested (in accordance with NFPA 13) at 350 psi (24.1
bar) and/or 50 psi (3.4 bar) above the normal water working pressure for limited periods of time (two hours) for the purpose of ac-
ceptance by the Authority Having Jurisdiction. If air testing is required, do not exceed 40 psi (2.8 bar) air pressure.

6. INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE

NOTICE: The owner is responsible for maintaining the fire-protection system and devices in proper operating
condition.
The Viking Swing Check Valve must be kept free of foreign matter, freezing conditions (when used on wet systems), corrosive
atmospheres, contaminated water supplies, and any condition that could impair its operation or damage the device.
It is imperative that the system be inspected and tested on a regular basis. The frequency of the inspections may vary due to
contaminated water supplies, corrosive water supplies, and corrosive atmospheres. For minimum maintenance and inspection
requirements, refer to NFPA 25. In addition, the Authority Having Jurisdiction may have additional maintenance, testing, and in-
spection requirements that must be followed.
WARNING: Any system maintenance which involves placing a control valve or detection system out of serv-
ice may eliminate the fire-protection capabilities of that system. Prior to proceeding, notify all the Authority
Having Jurisdiction. Consideration should be given to employment of a fire patrol in the affected areas.

6-A. Five-Year Internal Inspection

Internal inspection of Swing Check Valves is recommended every five years unless inspections and tests indicate more fre-
quent inspections are required.
(Refer to Figure 1)
1. Notify the Authority Having Jurisdiction, remote station alarm monitors, and those in the area affected that the system will
be taken out of service. Consideration should be given to employment of a fire patrol in the affected areas.
2. Close the water supply main control valve, placing the system out of service.
3. Open the main drain. If necessary, open the system test valve to vent and completely drain the system.
4. Use the appropriate wrench to loosen and remove the cover screws (14), and remove the cover/clapper assembly (2-11).
5. Inspect the water seat (12). Wipe away all contaminants, dirt, and mineral deposits. DO NOT use solvents or abrasives.
6. Inspect the cover/clapper assembly (2-11) and the cover gasket (13). Test the hinged clapper (8) for freedom of move-
ment. Renew or replace damaged or worn parts as required.
CAUTION: Never apply any lubricant to seats, gaskets, or any internal operating parts of the valve. Petroleum-
based grease or oil will damage rubber components and may prevent proper operation.
7. When Internal inspection of the Check Valve is complete, perform step 6 of paragraph 11. VALVE MAINTENANCE to re-
install the cover/clapper assembly (2-11).

6-B. Valve Maintenance
(Refer to Figure 1)
1. Perform steps 1 through 5 of paragraph 6.A - FIVE-YEAR INTERNAL INSPECTION.
2. To remove clapper rubber (9):
a. Use the appropriate wrenches to loosen and remove the button-head socket screw (11), hex nut (6), sealing washer (7),
and rubber retainer (10).
b. Remove the clapper rubber (9) for inspection. If the clapper rubber shows signs of wear, such as cracking, cuts, or
excessively deep grooves where the rubber contacts the water seat, replace the rubber.
3. To re-install clapper rubber (9):
a. Place the clapper rubber (9) over the center hub of the rubber retainer (10).
b. Position the retainer (10) (with rubber in place) against the clapper (8) as shown in Figure 1.
c. Replace and tighten the button-head socket screw (11), sealing washer (7), and hex nut (6). The sealing washer (7)
and hex nut (6) must be located on the top side of the clapper as shown in Figure 1. Do not over-tighten.
4. To remove clapper (8), and/or hinge pin (4):
a. Remove the hinge pin retaining rings (5) to free the hinge pin (4) for removal. After the hinge pin (4) is removed, the
clapper (8) can be removed.
5. To re-install clapper (8), and/or hinge pin (4):
a. Verify that the clapper rubber (9) is in good condition and that it is properly installed.
b. Position the clapper (8) with the elongated hinge holes aligned between the holes of the hinge bracket welded inside
the cover (2). The system (top) side of the clapper (8) must face the direction indicated by the flow arrow stamped
inside the cover (2).
c. Insert the hinge pin (4) through the holes at one end of the hinge assembly. Continue to push the hinge pin (4) through
the holes at the remaining end of the hinge assembly.
d. Re-install the hinge pin retaining rings (5).
6. To re-install cover/clapper assembly (2-11):
a. Verify that cover gasket (13) is in position and in good condition.
b. Slide the cover/clapper assembly (2-11) into the Swing Check Valve so that the clapper rubber (9) contacts the water
seat (12).
c. Replace the cover screws (14). Use the appropriate wrench to cross-tighten all screws to the torque value shown in
Table 2 for the valve used. DO NOT over-tighten.
