A Cla-Val Check Valve is a key component in many military shipboard applications. They are available in a variety of configurations including diaphragm actuated, hydraulically operated, and “hy-check” styles. Our check valves are constructed of the finest materials, including Naval Bronze, and built with a level of craftsmanship that can only be attained by working hand-in-hand with naval shipbuilders and designers for nearly seven decades.
The Cla-Val Model Power Hy-Check Valve is used throughout AFFF Systems to prevent return flow. They are built to MIL-F20042 specifications.
Aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) systems are highly effective in marine fire suppression applications. AFFF systems employ a variety of valves with different functions to achieve timely and reliable service when it matters most.
Each of the Cla-Val products used in the AFFF is designed and manufactured to perform with fast-acting precision, playing a critical role in protecting life and equipment in the event of a fire aboard surface vessels.
