trucks. Because the valves give tight shutoff, piping on
the bobtail can be blown down easily for maintenance or
repair without experiencing leakage.
Installation
CAUTION
If the valve is to be used in service other than
LPG or anhydrous ammonia, contact the
factory to determine if the valve materials are
suitable for the particular service.
Flow through the back check valve must
be in the same direction as the flow arrow
stamped on the valve.

Introduction
Scope of the Manual
This instruction manual covers installation and maintenance
for Fisher G100 Series Back Check Valves used on LPG
and anhydrous ammonia.
Description
Back check valves are normally closed valves that allow
ow in only one direction. When ow, in the direction
of the arrow starts, the valve poppet opens. When
ow stops or reverses, the valve poppet closes. Back
check valves are installed in liquid lling connections on
stationary storage tanks and bobtail delivery trucks, as
well as liquid transfer lines. The valves are frequently
used in conjunction with globe and angle valves or large
single-check ller valves.
Two styles of seat construction are available: soft
seat or metal-to-metal. The soft-seated construction is
intended for the lling connection on bobtail delivery

WARNING
Trained personnel should test the back check
valve in a safe location.
To ensure that the valve is still functional,
back check closure should be checked
annually if there is no other regularly
scheduled test program.
Maintenance
Annually TEST back check valve for closure. Back check valves
are non-repairable. Replace non-functioning valves.
1. Brass valves are not suitabe for NH3applications.
2. Manually operate the back check valve’s poppet
before installation to assure parts were not damaged in
shipment or blocked with dirt or foreign material.
3. Install valve so that arrow points in the direction of flow
through the valve.
4. Use pipe dope on the main threads of the valve or
the pipeline. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape or
PTFE pipe dope compound is recommended for the
male threads of the larger valves such as the 2 and
3 in. sizes.
5. Test the valve for proper operation after installation and
before placing the system into full service. To make the
test, pressure the system through the back check valve
and then quickly bleed pressure from the valve inlet
piping. Check for pressure build-up in the inlet piping.
On soft seated valves, there should be no build-up
in the inlet side. On metal-to-metal seated valves, a
slow pressure build-up is permissible. A rapid pressure
build-up on either valve style indicates that the valve
has malfunctioned.
