Description

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;

JIS 5, JIS 10, JIS 16, JIS 20 flanges with the following exceptions:-

DN40, DN50, DN80 and DN100 - will not fit between JIS 5 flanges

DN65 and DN80 - will not fit between BS 10 'E' flanges.
