DCV8 disc check valves are of a wafer pattern, designed to be
sandwiched between DIN 2501 and EN 1092 flanges. Their
function is to prevent reverse flow on a wide variety of fluids. The
DCV8 is designed for use with agressive fluids, vapours, acids and
alkalines at high pressures and temperatures. The valves are
provided with an M8 threaded tapping for product earthing and
conform to EN 558 part 1, series 49.
Optional extras
Heavy duty springs (700 mbar opening pressure, up to DN65)
for boiler feed applications
High temperature springs
Viton soft seats for oils and gas applications
EPM soft seats for water applications
Standards
Designed and manufactured in accordance with
ÄD Merkblatter.
This product fully complies with the requirements of the European
Pressure Equipment Directive 97 / 23 / EC.
Standard shut-off
Standard valves conform to EN 122 66-1 rate D.
Soft seated versions meet EN 12266-1 rate A, providing a
differential pressure exists.
Certification
These products are available with certification to EN 10204 3.1.
and the body is sourced from a TÜV approved foundry.
Note: All certification/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 / DIN 2501 PN10, PN16, PN25 and PN40.

The product must not be used in this region.
For use in this area use a DCV8 with high temperature
spring or DCV8 without spring.
A-B-D Without standard or high temperature springs.
E-C-D Standard spring and heavy duty spring.
Please note: Special testing to allow lower temperature operation
Disc check valves are opened by the pressure of the fluid and
closed by the spring as soon as the flow ceases and before the
reverse flow occurs.
