- 
				Very low face to face dimensions hence space required for mounting is less than 10% of that conventional valves. 
- 
				Very low weight-total weight is only approximately 1/6 the weight of a conventional check valve. 
- 
				Short wafer body enables mounting the valve with shorter length fasteners of lesser number compared to flanged swing check valve. Approximately 50% saving in cost of fasteners. 
- 
				Considerable secondary advantages resulting in substantial savings in handling, packing, transportation, installation and maintenance. 
- 
				Saving in terms of overall length required for piping. 
- 
				Tightening torque to be applied on the companion flange bolting is lower due to face sealing O-rings. 
- 
				Practically maintenance free due to fewer number of parts and simple construction. 
- Self centering in pipeline due to controlled outside diameter, enables easy installation.
