Reduced Bore Check Valve

A Reduced Bore Check Valve is a type of compact gate valve that features an internal opening which is smaller than the diameter of its end connections, typically less than 85% of the port's diameter. This design minimizes the space required for installation and reduces the valve's weight by approximately 30% compared to a full-bore valve. The reduced weight helps to decrease the loads on pipelines and during transportation, which can lead to cost savings. Despite its reduced size and weight, the Reduced Bore Check Valve maintains its flow control capabilities without compromising performance.
