I am trying to get a Vickers check valve pressure tested, however, I am having a hard time finding information on how to pressure test it. The model # of the valve is F3C5G815, if anyone could help me that would be great. I am looking for max working pressure, cracking pressure, testing procedure / testing pressures or any other information that may help.
Thanks
 
This valve is rated at 3,000 PSI maximum pressure 20 GPM nominal flow. The cracking pressure is 5 PSIunless the number is followed by S3 50 PSI or S8 75 PSI. It is sub-plate mounted and does not have a standard sub-plate since it was meant to be mounted on a manifold. Bud Trinkel
