Check Valve – Ductile Iron – Single Wafer – 316 SS Disk & EPDM Seat

Check Valve – Ductile Iron – Single Wafer – 316 SS Disk & EPDM Seat

The Check Valve – Ductile Iron – Single Wafer – 316 SS Disk & EPDM Seat is an essential component in a variety of industrial sectors, including HVAC, gas, petrochemical, pulp and paper, water and wastewater treatment, brewing, food processing, mining, textiles, and general industry. This valve is recognised for its compact design, ensuring a bubble-tight shut-off and excellent flow regulation capabilities, making it indispensable for efficient system operations.

Optimal Design and Functionality

This check valve is commonly employed to control the direction of flow and to prevent potential backflow in plumbing systems, enhancing system reliability and safety. Known for its versatility, the single wafer check valve, also referred to as clack, reflux, non-return, or one-way valve, is designed to stop backflow when a system is shut down. Its design includes a hinged, flap-like disc that allows fluid to pass in one direction while preventing it from flowing back, safeguarding sensitive components downstream.

Durable Construction and Specifications

Constructed from ductile iron with an epoxy (FBE) blue-coated body, this valve is built for durability and resistance against corrosion, suitable for various demanding environments. The valve features a pinless square drive 420 stainless steel stem/shaft, which offers exceptional corrosion resistance and high strength for greater flow capabilities. The CF8M stainless steel disc is precision machined to perfectly match the seat profile, which enhances the valve’s operational efficiency and reduces wear.

Technical Specifications and Suitability

The valve is tailored for general water applications and can withstand -15°C to 110°C. It is available in sizes ranging from 50mm (2 inches) to 500mm (20 inches), with a pressure rating of 16 BAR (1600 KPA). The EPDM seat ensures effective and reliable sealing, making it suitable for various applications where high performance and longevity are crucial.

With its advanced engineering and high-quality materials, the Check Valve – Ductile Iron – Single Wafer – 316 SS Disk & EPDM Seat is a vital tool for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of industrial piping systems, ensuring reliable operation and protection against backflow.
