French term

robinet à clapet libre blocable

French to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering valves
This appears in a list of documents for valves, tests, pipes, welding etc for an enrichment plant, so I've not got a lot to go on.

This particular document title is "Robinets à soupape et robinets à clapet libre blocable en acier - Robinetterie industrielle".

I know there has been discussion here recently about robinets vs clapets and I would normally call a clapet a non-return valve, but how to convey the libre and blocable aspects?

Anysuggestions gratefully received!
Proposed translations (English)
3 screw-down non-return (S.D.N.R.) and check valve
3 blockable free-flow non-return valve tap/faucet

Claire Cox (asker) Aug 10, 2009:
Many thanks for your suggestions, but I found the English version of the standard referred to and these are actually called "Steel globe and globe stop and check valves". Sorry - I should have checked whether there was a bilingual version before posting.
