Where lowest opening pressures are required, valves without
springs can be installed in vertical pipes with bottom-to-top flow.

the various flange types to be
accommodated. The body is rotated to
touch the flange joint bolts ensuring that
the valve is centred in the pipeline.
Flanges, bolts (or studs), nuts and joint gaskets are to be
provided by the installer. Disc check valves are non-maintainable
(no spares are available). Disc check valves are not suitable for use
where heavily pulsating flow exists, such as close to a compressor.
Pressure loss in bar
Pressure loss diagram with open valve at 20°C. The values indicated
are applicable to spring loaded valves with horizontal flow. With
vertical flow, insignificant deviations occur only within the range of
partial opening.
Various options are denoted by a marking on the valve body:-
'N'
– High temperature spring – Standardmetaldisc
The curves given in the chart are valid for water at 20°C. To determine
the pressure for other fluids the equivalent water volume flowrate
must be calculated and used in the graph.

DCV disc check valves must be fitted in
accordance with the direction of flow
arrow indicating correct fluid flow
direction. When fitted with a spring they
can be installed in any plane. When
supplied without a spring they must be
fitted in a vertical flow line with the flow
from bottom-to-top.

No identification indicates a standard spring with a metal disc.
If a product which contains a Viton component has been subjected
to a temperature approaching 315°C or higher, then it may have
decomposed and formed hydrofluoric acid. Avoid skin contact and
inhalation of any fumes as the acid will cause deep skin burns and
damage to the respiratory system. Viton must be disposed of in a
recognised manner as stated in the Installation and Maintenance
Instructions (IM-P134-22). No other ecological hazard is anticipated
with the disposal of this product providing due care is taken.
= Equivalent water volume flow in l/s or m3/h
Where: Vw
V = Volume of fluid l/s or m3/h
= Density of fluid kg/m3
