The DCV3 and DCV3LT disc check valves are of the wafer pattern
designed to be sandwiched between flanges. They are 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 they will be supplied with a metal-to-metal seat
for use on steam applications. Where they are being used on oil,
air, gas and water applications, alternative seat material is
available - see 'Optional extras'.
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
These products fully comply with the requirements of the
European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.
Standard valves conform to EN 12266 rate E.
Valves conforming to EN 12266 rate D are available on request.
Soft seated versions meet EN 12266 rate A, providing a
differential pressure exists.
Certification
These products are available with a Typical Test Report.
The products are also available with certification to EN 10204 3.1.
Note: Allcertification/inspection requirements must be stated
at the time of order placement.
DN15, DN20, DN25, DN32, DN40, DN50, DN65, DN80 and DN100
Suitable for installation between BS 10 Tables 'E' and 'H',
EN 1092 PN6, PN10, PN16, PN25 and PN40;
