Genebre Art2445 CROMAX Stainless Steel 316 Spring Check Valve

Genebre Art2445 Stainless Steel 316L CROMAX Spring Check Valve

The Genebre Art2445 is a compact spring-loaded check valve manufactured from stainless steel 316L, designed to prevent reverse flow in liquid systems where corrosion resistance is critical. Part of the CROMAX range, it features a sealed, one-piece construction for reliable, maintenance-free operation.

With BSPP parallel threaded ends and a low cracking pressure spring mechanism, the Art2445 can be installed in any orientation, making it suitable for confined installations and complex pipework layouts. The valve incorporates a Viton (FPM) seat for dependable sealing across a wide temperature range.
