NH3 Excess Flow & Back Check Valves

Efficiently control flow, prevent backflow, and reduce the risk of uncontrolled ammonia release with NH₃ excess flow & back check valves. Designed using high-quality materials to support safe, stable, and compliant NH₃ system operation in agricultural and industrial settings. Excess flow ammonia check valves automatically restrict flow when it exceeds a preset rate. In contrast, back check valves prevent reverse flow in liquid ammonia lines, ensuring that the current system remains supported, safe, and compliant.

With over forty years of experience, we are proud to support industries with essential components for effective operations, protecting equipment, operators, and surrounding areas.

Reliable NH₃ Excess Flow & Back Check Valve Components

Our selection includes excess flow valves, back check valves, and supporting components from trusted manufacturers such as Squibb-Taylor and Continental NH3. These products are engineered for liquid NH₃ service and designed to perform reliably under demanding conditions.

Excess Flow Check Valves for Anhydrous Ammonia (NH₃)

Excess flow valves are designed to automatically restrict ammonia flow if it exceeds a safe rate, such as during a hose failure or line rupture.

Available options include:

  • 45 GPM, 50 GPM, and 60 GPM flow ratings
  • Common 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" MPT and FPT connections
  • Proven designs suitable for liquid NH₃ service

Excess flow ammonia check valves are commonly fitted:

  • On liquid withdrawal outlets from ammonia tanks
  • In liquid transfer lines supplying applicators or nurse tanks
  • At the start of hose assemblies, where rupture risk is highest
  • Downstream of manual shutoff valves to provide automatic protection
  • In systems where liquid NH₃ is transferred under pressure

NH₃ Back Check Valves

Back check valves are used to prevent the reverse flow of liquid ammonia within a system to maintain correct flow direction and system stability.

Available configurations include:

  • Full-port swing check designs
  • 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" FPT and MPT connection options
  • Heavy-duty construction for ammonia compatibility

NH₃ back check valves are commonly fitted:

  • In liquid transfer lines, to prevent backflow
  • Downstream of excess flow valves for layered protection
  • On manifold outlets and distribution lines
  • Before applicators or metering equipment
  • In systems where reverse flow could cause pressure or contamination issues

To ensure proper installation, protection, and ongoing maintenance of NH₃ valve assemblies, we supply ACME strainer screens, Snap rings, and replacement components

Frequently Asked Question

An ammonia check valve is a valve used in anhydrous ammonia (NH₃) systems to prevent reverse flow of liquid ammonia. By supporting a one-way flow, ammonia check valves help protect equipment, maintain system stability, and reduce the risk of leaks during transfer.

Choosing the correct check valve for ammonia systems depends on connection size, flow requirements, and whether you need backflow prevention or excess flow protection. Reviewing system specifications and consulting an experienced NH₃ equipment supplier can help ensure proper selection.

Excess flow valves prevent ammonia leaks by automatically restricting flow when ammonia moves through the system faster than a preset safe rate, such as during a pipe rupture or hose failure. In anhydrous ammonia systems, these excess flow check valves for NH₃ react to sudden increases in flow and close internally, limiting the amount of ammonia released and reducing safety risks and product loss.

Selecting the correct check valves for ammonia depends on several factors, including connection size, flow direction, system pressure, and whether the valve will be used in liquid NH₃ service. Material compatibility, port configuration, and installation location also play a role. Choosing the right ammonia check valve ensures proper backflow prevention and safe, reliable operation in NH₃ applications.
