    Internal Check Valve Replacement

    Internal Check Valve


    Replacement, Two-Chamber
    Air Reservoir
    General Information
    Contamination in two-chamber, wet/secondary, reser-
    voirs may cause the inline check valve to become
    clogged or stuck closed. This can result in insufficient
    air buildup. If insufficient air buildup is noted, replace
    the check valve. If the check valve can not be re-
    moved (due to corrosion), it is acceptable to install a
    bypass line.

    There are two styles of check valves that may have
    been installed in the tank. An internal check valve is Fig. 1, Accessing the Internal Check Valve
    threaded into the internal wall that separates the wet
    side and secondary side of the reservoir. Or an ex- 1
    ternal check valve is mounted in a port on the top
    surface of the reservoir.
