How is this design different from regular wafer check and what are High performance Duo wafer check?A duo check valve is considered a sub-category of the wafer check valve. The main characteristic of a duo-check is that the disc is split in two, and opens similar to a butterfly valve. The original/standard wafer check only has 1 disc.Without retainer indicates perhaps a direct metal to metal sealing with direct contact, again the definitions for HP butterfly valves might be significant.The above said, i must admit that I have never seen this descriptin in connection with a check valve.On the other hand it is quite common that the description for a check valves leans towards somthing used in 'an almost similar' , but older/previous solution, without adeqatly giving the necessary fluid and operation parameters necessary to dimension and select the optimum type: eg.: correct dimension, type, placement etc. necessary to avoid pressure peaks and slamming or gulping operation, partially open valve, minimum pressure loss and soft opening and closing.
