Description

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.

Sizes and pipe connections

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.
