The DCV6 stainless steel 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 lines etc. They have an increased
gasket face area compared to the DCV3, with face-to-face
dimensions conforming 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 is 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
High temperature springs for temperatures up to 400°C.
Viton soft seats for oil, gas and air applications.
EPDM soft seats for water applications.
This product fully complies with the requirements of the
European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.
Standard valves conform to EN 12266-1 rate D.
Soft seated versions meet EN 12266-1 rate A, providing a
differential pressure exists.
This product is 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 the following flanges:
EN 1092 PN10, PN16, PN25 and PN40,
JIS 10K, JIS 16K, JIS 20K, JIS 30K and JIS 40K,
Note: Wafer check valves are not suitable for use where heavily
pulsating flow exists, such as close to a compressor.
