Ringo Bronze Check Valves
Stop the Backflow. Protect the System. Built in Bronze.
At BronzeValve, we proudly supply the expertly engineered range of Ringo Bronze Check Valves, designed to deliver safe, consistent, and reliable non-return performance in complex flow systems. Manufactured under the Samson Controls Group, Ringo brings advanced materials knowledge and niche-sector experience to industries where standard valves simply won’t suffice.
Using high-grade bronze alloys, Ringo Check Valves offer exceptional corrosion resistance, long-term durability, and system-critical reliability — even in the harshest environments, from marine platforms to turbine bypass circuits and chemical processing units.
Why Choose Bronze for Check Valves?
Bronze isn’t just a traditional choice — it’s a superior engineering material for non-return valves exposed to fluctuating pressures, chemically aggressive fluids, or seawater environments. Ringo takes full advantage of bronze’s benefits to deliver a longer-lasting, safer check valve solution:
- Corrosion resistance to saltwater, acids, and industrial chemicals
- Non-sparking, safe for hazardous zones
- Low-friction internals and superior flow characteristics
- Castability and machinability for custom valve geometries
Ringo offers check valves in specialist bronze materials including:
- Nickel Aluminium Bronze (NAB) – ideal for offshore oil and gas, naval installations, and desalination plants
- Tin Bronze – excellent for higher-pressure service where galling resistance is required
- High-Silicon Bronze – preferred in processing plants for its chemical compatibility and strength
Types of Ringo Bronze Check Valves
Axial Nozzle Check Valves
Engineered for fast, responsive action with minimal pressure drop, Ringo’s axial bronze check valves feature a spring-loaded disc that ensures immediate shut-off. These valves are perfect for vertical and horizontal pipelines where surge protection and high flow stability are critical.
- Optimised for low cracking pressure
- Ideal for turbine bypass systems, chemical loops, and firefighting systems
- Built to dampen water hammer effects and extend system life
Swing Check Valves
With a robust swing arm and soft or metal seat options, these bronze swing check valves are ideal for large-bore systems, including marine cooling circuits and low-pressure industrial loops. The swing mechanism provides smooth closure with minimal wear.
- Full-flow unobstructed bore
- Suitable for bi-directional piping systems
- Engineered for silent, slam-free operation
Dual Plate / Wafer Check Valves
Compact and lightweight, Ringo’s wafer-style bronze check valves are ideal for space-constrained installations. Their dual-plate design ensures fast closing, reducing the risk of backflow or system shock in industrial water and process applications.
- Tight sealing with elastomer or metal seats
- Designed for flange-to-flange installations
- Ideal for HVAC systems, pump discharge lines, and chemical feeds
Manufactured to Last
Every Ringo Bronze Check Valve is built to strict international standards, including API 594, EN 12334, and ASME B16.34, depending on application and project needs. Features include:
- Precision-machined bodies and trims in cast or forged bronze
- Pressure ratings up to Class 600
- Optional non-slam internals and damping features for high-pressure systems
- Full NDT and hydrostatic testing for complete system peace of mind
Bronze body and trim combinations can be tailored for compatibility with potable water, fire protection, steam, or chemical processing lines.
Application Case Studies
Naval & Shipbuilding – Axial nozzle check valves in nickel aluminium bronze supplied to military shipyards, providing durable and reliable protection in high-vibration cooling systems.
Hydrogen Plants – Swing check valves with bronze internals used in hydrogen handling units, where non-sparking and chemical compatibility are critical for process safety.
Power Generation – Bronze nozzle check valves installed on steam and condensate return lines in power stations, reducing the risk of backflow and ensuring high cycle reliability.
Desalination & Water Treatment – Wafer-type bronze valves chosen for pump discharge lines in coastal desalination plants, offering corrosion resistance and space-saving integration.
