Description

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.

Certification

This product is available with certification to EN 10204 3.1.

Note: All certification/inspection requirements must be stated at

the time of order placement.
