Check valve RK44

Bronze check valve for water, steam and condensate, PN16.

Data sheet

Product information

The check valve RK44 from GESTRA is a high-grade wafer valve for use in water, steam and condensate systems. With its robust bronze construction, spring-loaded function and compact design it offers maximum operational reliability and a long service life – ideal for industrial applications.

Special features

  • Wafer design to EN 1092, PN6/10/16
  • Body and internals in bronze (CC480K-GS)
  • Spring-loaded for reliable backflow prevention
  • Temperature range: -40°C to +300°C (metal-seated)
  • Pressure rating: PN16
  • Seat seal: metal (optionally EPDM or FPM)
  • Any installation position (horizontal or vertical)

Advantages

  • Special springs from 20 mbar to 1,000 mbar selectable
  • Sitzdichtung metallisch, EPDM or FPM
  • Centring of the RK44 via a spiral ring or directly on the body
  • RK44 silicone-free version

Versions

  • Sizes: DN15-DN200

  • Dichtungen:
    Metallisch (Standard)
    EPDM for water/condensate
    FPM for gases and air

  • Special versions:
    Without spring for the lowest opening pressures
    Special springs for defined opening pressures

Areas of application

  • Pump discharge lines in heating, cooling and process circuits
  • Applications with a defined opening pressure via special springs
  • Low-temperature applications down to -200 °C in the metal version
  • Plants that require silicone-free check valves

Selection and installation

The spring determines the opening pressure – from 20 mbar for sensitive circuits up to 1,000 mbar, where reliable closing against backflow counts. Without a spring only vertical installation with upward flow is permitted.
