Installation replacement check valve

Other connectors to the tank could be used after installing the check valve in the tank. For instance, a DESO stem and body, and/or other type of quick disconnect will hold the pressure in the line and in the tank. These other connections make it possible to disengage the tank from the system to remove it and/or replace it with another tank. 

A replacement check valve installed - one detail overlooked... 

A similar technique, more common with air systems, is to automate the familiar double-block-and-bleed arrangement. The first step in this design might be to replace a simple check valve with a differential-pressure control valve that shuts when the pressure differential reverses. This affords two levels of protection, unless one assumes that the check valve is fundamentally untrustworthy and always allows somebackleakage. Check valves can, of course, be made more reliable by proper installation and by extra measures such as force loading. An elaboration on the diagram above is to add a second valve in the line that closes when the differential pressure is too low or even negative. Finally, the space between the two in-line check valves can be vented for more positive protection.
