Request Information

Rego® Double-Check Filler Valves incorporate a resilient upper check valve, normally designated as a filler valve, and a lower check valve, commonly called a back pressure check valve. Available in a range of sizes to cover virtually all LP-Gas storage containers, these valves are UL listed and meet NFPA standards, as well as other safety requirements.

Flow of liquid into the storage container opens both check valves. When flow stops, they both are designed to close automatically to permit the operator to disconnect the hose coupling.

The automatic closing action also helps prevent the discharge of container contents in the event of hose failure. The lower back pressure check affords extra protection by restricting the discharge if the upper check fails to function properly due to accidents or other causes.

The double back check construction allows emergency inspection, repair, or replacement of the upper fill assembly without removing product from the container. When the upper filler valve body is removed, the lower back check valve provides a seal, permitting only some leakage, allowing a new upper filler valve body to be installed.

Seal cap made of tough, resilient molded plastic. Protects threads and internal working parts. Caps are designed to contain normal tank pressures, and must be kept on valves at all times.

Long-wearing gasket permits hand-tight connection of cap and hose coupling.

Safety groove is designed to shear below the ACME thread, leaving the valve seats closed and unaffected if the delivery truck pulls away with the hose connected.

Seat disc of special synthetic composition is extra thick for longer life.

Valve guide is precision machined to ensure positive seal.

Exclusive swing-away lower back check valve for extra fast filling is provided on Models L6579 and 6587. Differs from conventional design by swiveling to a vertical position when opened.
