  • Replaceable seat for convertible check valve
    Patent number: 12535140
    Abstract: A replaceable seat is provided for a convertible check valve. The convertible check valve includes a first valve body section having a first passageway and a first flange, and a second valve body section having a second passageway and a second flange. The second flange is configured for connection to the first flange. The check valve also includes a flapper that moves between a closed state and an opened state. The flapper prevents flow between the first passageway and the second passageway when the flapper is in the closed state. The check valve also includes a gasket interposed between the first flange and the second flange. The gasket includes an opening to permit fluid communication between the first passageway and the second passageway and a valve seat with an integrated O-ring that is configured to contact the flapper when the flapper is in the closed state.
