The DCV4 stainless steel disc check valve is of the wafer pattern
designed to be sandwiched between ASME 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 2, series 52.
As standard it will be supplied with a metal-to-metal seat for
use on steam applications. Where it will be used on oil, air, gas
and water applications, alternative seat material is available
- see 'Optional extras'.
Optional extras
High temperature springs for temperatures up to 400°C.
Viton soft seats for oils, air and gas applications.
EPM 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.
