DCV check valve

Plate check valve for high temperatures and compact wafer mounting.

Data sheet

Product information

The DCV series plate check valves from Spirax Sarco are designed for installation between flanges and provide reliable backflow prevention in steam, water, oil and gas lines. With their robust construction and optional soft-seated versions they are ideal for demanding applications in energy and process technology.

Special features

  • Wafer version with a universal centring collar
  • Compact face-to-face length to EN 558-1, series 49
  • Druckstufen: PN16 (DCV1), PN40 (DCV3)
  • Temperature range: up to 400°C (metal-seated)
  • Materials: Bronze or Edelstahl
  • Spring-loaded for a reliable closing function
  • Optional: soft-seated (Viton for oil/gas, EPDM for water)

Advantages

  • Universal centring ring cast directly on the body – no separate centring part
  • Body in bronze, pressure rating PN 16
  • Short face-to-face length to EN 558-1 basic series 49
  • The DCV3 Food+ version meets (EC) 1935/2004 and FDA

Versions

  • DCV1: Bronze, PN16, metallisch dichtend

  • DCV3: Edelstahl, PN40, metallisch or weichdichtend

  • DCV3LT: stainless steel for low-temperature applications (-60°C)

  • DCV3 Food+: stainless steel, food compliant to (EC) 1935/2004

Areas of application

  • Steam, water, oil, gas and air lines
  • Installation between flanges PN 6 to PN 16
  • Food applications with the DCV3 Food+ version
  • Nominal sizes DN 15 to DN 100

Selection and installation

The cast-on universal centring ring saves a component and makes installation between the flanges easier. With a spring any installation position is possible; without a spring only vertical with upward flow.
