I have a unvented system and have run a secondary return on the hot water due to the size of the property. I have a non return valve directly after the bronze pump that rattles and is causing a nuisance. Is there a diff type of double check valve i can use to stop this rattling?
 
I normally use this type.
But it must be installed in the horizontal or with the arrow pouting up.

ive found sometimes that no returnes can be noisy when there the spring type and they've jumped out of place, try replacing the valve like for like first or as above use the swing valve
 
swing valve all the way less to go wrong

I've installed a double check valve. Have no idea if it's spring loaded or no? Maybe I'll try and like for like swap and see what happens. I've never heard of the swing valve before?

Wrong type mate Google swing valve and install one
 
Ok I'll pick one up tomorrow from pipe centre. Any reason why it has to be installed horizontal? My NRV currently points down after my pump then into my megaflo.

So the flap closes but some have a spring on them and there ok horizontal
 
Swing valve need weight of water to close it fully?

Back flow closes/ the weight of the swing it fully
 
I put it up as I wasn`t sure that there would be enough water there not doing gas boilers.

Not a problem only stupid question is the one you don't ask
