Valves & Actuation

Series RVT is an angle pattern design featuring a non-sticking Teflon® shaft passing through three U-cup seals. Venting between the upper and center U-cups results in Plast-O-Matic’s patented Fail-Dry® design for added protection. In the meantime the third seal continues to protect the control spring. The RVT design starts with 1/2" pipe size and runs through 2". Set pressures from 5 to 100 PSI. Once the relief valve is set, the valve will remain closed as long as the tank or line pressure does not reach the set pressure. The valve will begin to relieve when the set pressure is reached and will require an overpressure of approximately 40% to fully open. When the pressure falls below the set pressure, the valve will again close. Series RVT relief valves are constructed of Type 1, Grade 1 PVC, CPVC, Polypropylene, Teflon® or PVDF with solid Teflon® shaft. U-cup seals are EPDM or Viton®. The adjusting bolt, lock nut, control spring and fasteners are cadmium-plated steel. Stainless steel is available as an option.

Engineered and Flow Tested for Superior Performance
Designed for quick, positive seal-off with minimum turbulence, low restriction and maximum fluid transfer, this industrial-grade ball check valve is used in a wide variety of industrial and chemical processing applications.
Heavy-Bodied PVC or CPVC Construction
Spears True Union Ball Check Valves never rust, scale or pit, providing exceptional chemical and corrosion resistance. Strong buttress-type threads on the union nuts allow higher pressure-handling capability and quick in-line installation and servicing.
- Spears computer-engineered design provides superior fluid flow with minimum turbulence. Eliminates “chatter” often encountered in ball check valves.
- Maximum Internal Pressure of 235 psi at 73°F for the most demanding applications of 1/2" - 4" valves.
- All Spears True Union Ball Check Valves are NSF Certified for potable water use.


This heavy-bodied, quarter-turn shut-off valve is popular where maintenance-free installations are desired for a variety of chemical, industrial and OEM applications. Factory adjusted sealed units are available in IPS sizes 1/2" through 6", with choice of either socket or threaded end connectors. Spears PTFE floating seat design reduces seat wear for extended valve life, smooth operation, bubble-tight shutoff. 100% factory tested. Safe-T-Shear® Stem to help prevent leaks out in the event of stem damage. 235 psi @ 73°F (for complete size range).
