Swagelok® Hydrogen FK Check Valve for Hydrogen Applications
Designed for use in hydrogen refueling station applications, this check valve delivers unidirectional flow and highly reliable shut-off of small-molecule gases.
Get Help Selecting Hydrogen ValvesWhile not limited in use, the Swagelok® hydrogen FK check valve meets the high demands of hydrogen refueling station applications, providing dependable operation and higher uptime for station operators. The patented seat design and spring are isolated from the flow path to minimize damage and increase service life. Plus, when the differential drops below the cracking pressure, the check valve prevents reverse flow.
