Description

The DCV1 disc check valve is of the wafer pattern designed to

be sandwiched between flanges. It is suitable for use on a wide

range of fluids for applications in process lines, hot water systems,

steam and condensate systems etc. Face-to-face dimensions

conform to EN 558 part 1, series 49.

As standard it will be supplied with a metal-to-metal seat

for use on steam applications. Where it is being used on oil, air,

gas and water applications, alternative seat material is available -

see 'Optional extras'.

Note: Wafer check valves are not suitable for use where heavily

pulsating flow exists, such as close to a compressor

Optional extras

Heavy duty springs (700 mbar opening pressure, up to DN65)

for boiler feed applications.

Viton soft seats for oil, air and gas applications.

EPDM soft seats for water applications.

Standards

This product fully complies with the requirements of the

European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.

Standard valves conform to EN 12266-1 rate E.

Valves conforming to EN 12266-1 rate D are available on request.

Soft seated versions meet EN 12266-1 rate A, providing a

differential pressure exists.

This product is available with a manufacturers Typical Test Report.

Note: Allcertification/inspection requirements must be stated

at the time of order placement.
