Kennedy Valve recommends following AWWA Manual M17 Fire Hydrants, Installation, Field Testing & Maintenance.
Warning: Special care should be taken in the installation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and repair of pressure containing devices such as valves and hydrants. To prevent bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the fire hydrant and its supporting structures, use only a diffuser or flexible hose (properly restrained at the point of discharge) for flushing or flow testing. FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER PRACTICES AND GUIDELINES CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. /Asset/K17-Monitor-HW.jpg

UL/ULC Listed and FM Approved Flanged Check Valves
(14) Kennedy Swing Check Valves are for use to ensure flow in one direction. The bronze-to-bronze seat (1126) is designed with ample material to compensate for seat ring wear. The rotating action of the disc creates a self-cleaning effect that cleans the seat ring of foreign particles. The disc is also self-adjusting. The resilient seated (1126A) offers bubble-tight seating and is factory-tested. Kennedy UL / FM / ULC check valves can be installed in the horizontal or vertical orientation (with flow direction upwards). The 1126 and 1126A are available tapped for easy installation of gauges at up to six locations. Our modern cover design allows for simple inspection and service utilizing a tapped body, eliminating nut and bolt combinations seen on older products. We also use an o-ring system for modern and superior cover seating performance. /Asset/Check-Valves---Series-1126.JPG UL/ULC Listed and FM Approved Grooved Check Valve
(5) The Kennedy Valve Figure 726 is a ULFM-approved Grooved End Check Valve. It is a lightweight unit that is intended to be easily installed with approved IPS grooved couplings.

(3) Our 4, 6 and 8" wafer checks are industry-leading designs that offer built-in resilient seating performance for the installer. Each valve is manufactured with integral O-ring seals as part of its end condition. Flange gaskets are not required. If being installed with a groove flange adapter, a simple washer can be inserted to provide easy seating and installation. Contact grooved manufacturer for washer information. Spring-loaded, the Kennedy wafer check can be installed easily in either the horizontal or vertical (anti-water hammer). This valve is an absolute must for limited-space installs. Only the 4” wafer includes a tap and plug.Note: 4” 806 Wafer shown in picture, 6” and 8” not offered with tap and plug. /Asset/Wafer-Check-Valves-Figure-806.JPG
