Product catalog summary
Typical Service: Designed for use with liquids and gases to prevent flow reversal, which can cause surge and water hammer. Elastomer seats ensure bubble-tight shutoff.
Features: The valve has a compact design with short face-to-face dimensions, dual shaft design for shaft interchangeability, and torsion springs that close the valve before flow reversal. The springs lift the discs to open the center 'heel' first, reducing seat wear and ensuring long sealing capability. A downstream stop shaft stabilizes the discs at high flow rates, preventing premature wear and stress.
Construction: The valve features a robust cast body in a wafer style, designed to fit within ANSI bolt circles. It offers a variety of trim and seat materials, including overlay and metal-to-metal options.
Installation: The valve can be installed horizontally or vertically, with specific recommendations for horizontal applications. It should be installed 5 to 10 pipe diameters away from turbulence-creating devices. A strainer is recommended ahead of the pump to protect both the pump and valve from foreign particles.
Special Coatings or Treatments: Pickling and passivation are available for stainless steel upon request.
Approvals/Specifications: The valve meets applicable ASTM, ANSI, and API standards and is FM Approved for sizes 2” – 14” with Carbon Steel, Bronze, and Stainless Steel bodies.
Testing: The valve is tested according to API 598 standards.
Model 72 Specifications: Available in Bronze, Ductile Iron, Carbon Steel, or Stainless Steel, with sizes ranging from 2" to 54". Pressure and temperature ratings vary by material, with specific limits provided for each.
Materials: The valve components are made from materials such as Bronze, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, and Ductile Iron, with Buna-N seats and 316 SS shafts/springs.
Dimensions and Weights: Detailed dimensions and weights are provided for sizes ranging from 2" to 54".
Note: Specifications are approximate and subject to change without notice. For precise measurements, contact Mueller Steam Specialty Technical Service.

C * eat and/or Spring Materials may limit S temperature. See “How To Order” chart for limitations. • esigned for liquids and gases where flow reversal can cause surge and water hammer. D • lastomer seats provide bubble-tight shutoff. E Features • 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. • ownstream stop shaft stabilizes the discs at high flow rates and prevents them from striking D each other, which can cause premature wear, stress on the shaft, and chattering.
