Glens Falls, NY – November 12th, 2025 – Flomatic® Valves is proud to announce the official release of its new AIS (American Iron and Steel) and BABA (Build America, Buy America) Compliant 12” Flo-Flex® 745SC Surge-Stopper®. Designed for municipal, industrial, and wastewater applications, this advanced swing check valve meets ANSI/AWWA Standard C508 full waterway design requirements.
Engineered for durability and reliability, the ductile iron body valve features a rapid-closure stainless-steel spring that minimizes flapper disc hinge closing time—preventing slamming during rapid flow reversals and water hammer. Its unique spring design is angled at a 45-degree seating surface, minimizing disc travel. A raised rib seal on the molded Buna-N flapper disc ensures bubble-tight sealing under low pressure, making it suitable for vacuum service.
