This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If equipped with safety or relief features
Safety valves, even if copper, have a distinct heading from standard check valves.
If for bulk copper flanges without valve internals
Copper flanges or pipe fittings lack the nonreturn mechanism required for Chapter 84.
If integrated with inline flow metering
Devices combining check valves with significant measuring functions shift to Chapter 90 instruments.
