Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications for the Cast Iron SURE CHECK™ Valves, models 71 and 71U, designed for preventing flow reversal in liquid and gas applications. These valves are available in sizes ranging from 2" to 54" (50 – 1350mm).
Typical Service: These valves are suitable for applications where flow reversal can cause surge and water hammer, offering bubble-tight shutoff with elastomer seats.
Features:
  • Compact design with short face-to-face dimensions.
  • Dual shaft design for shaft interchangeability.
  • Torsion springs for pre-reversal closure and consistent wear pattern.
  • Downstream stop shaft for disc stabilization at high flow rates.
Construction: The valves feature a robust cast body in a wafer style, designed to fit within ANSI bolt circles, with various trim and seat materials available.
Installation:
  • Can be installed horizontally or vertically, with specific recommendations for vertical flow applications.
  • Recommended installation distance from turbulence-creating devices is 5 to 10 pipe diameters.
  • Installation of a strainer ahead of the pump is strongly recommended.
Approvals/Specifications: The valves comply with applicable ASTM, ANSI, and API standards. Model 71 is FM Approved for sizes 2” – 16” (Domestic Only), and Model 71U is UL/ULC Listed for sizes 4” to 12”.
Testing: The valves are tested according to API 598 standards.
Pressure/Temperature Ratings: The document provides detailed pressure and temperature ratings for different sizes and models, with specific ratings for non-shock conditions.
Dimensions and Weights: Detailed dimensions and weights are provided for both models 71 and 71U, with specific measurements for each size.
Materials: The body is made of Cast Iron ASTM A126-B, the disc of Bronze ASTM B62, and the shaft/spring of 316 SS, with a Buna-N seat.
Additional Information: The document notes that specifications are approximate and subject to change without notice, and it provides contact information for Mueller Steam Specialty.

R See limitations for UL model 71U, sizes 4” - 12” Typical Service • esigned for liquids and gases where flow reversal can cause surge and water hammer. D • lastomer seats provide bubble-tight shutoff. E Features • ompact design with short face-to-face dimensions for minimum space requirements. C • ual shaft design allows interchangeability of shafts. D • orsion springs close the valve prior to flow reversal. T • orsion springs exert a lifting motion on the discs, enabling the center “heel” to open first. T This prevents excessive wear of the seat in this area, and provides a consistent wear pattern and long sealing capability. D • ownstream stop shaft stabilizes the discs at high flow rates and prevents them from striking each other, which can cause premature wear, stress on the shaft, and chattering. Construction • obust cast body is wafer style, featuring compact face-to-face dimensions. R • esigned to fit within ANSI bolt circles.
