- Mounting orientation does not affect valve operation
- For pressures higher than 500 PSI, please consult the factory
- Many standard seal options.
- Easy in-line repair completed in under 10 minutes.

Hopper Car Door Dump System Heavy-Duty Check Valve
Lexair’s standard ¾” Check Valve is a robust replacement for the check valves that were factory supplied on bottom dump hopper car door dump systems. These check valves trap air in the door dump reservoir assuring that sequential opening of cars in the consist do not “rob” air from a charged car. There are many features of our valve that far exceed the performance of any competitors OEM installed Check Valve.
