Non-Return Valve specification
Parts list and breakdown, including an inlet at the base following from PART F upward to PART A to an outlet.
PART A – Valve Body
PART B – Spring
PART C – Piston
PART D – Piston Seal
PART E – Body Seal
PART F – Valve Seat
Seal Type
P.T.F.E Seals are supplied as standard unless use of Viton seals are necessary.
The use of P.T.F.E seals with non-return valves up to 3/8″ containing a low pressure spring such as 2-5psi, combined with low back pressure, can lead to difficulty in forming a leak-tight seal between the piston seal and the cone seat. This is overcome by using either a Viton seal or a stronger spring. Valve opening pressures of 35 psi are available up to 1/2″, with 2-5 psi only available for 3/4″ and upward.
Seal Kits
Replacement seal kits are available and consist of the following items; piston seal, body seal and spring.
Replacement seal kit part numbers for immediate order:
| Valve Size | Part Number |
|---|---|
| 1/4″ | CV2 SEALS |
| 3/8″ | CV3 SEALS |
| 1/2″ | CV4 SEALS |
| 3/4″ | CV6 SEALS |
| 1″ | CV8 SEALS |
In Line Filters
A filter should always be placed upstream of the non-return valve when the media has solids suspended in it. If a filter is not used the piston seal may become damaged, so allowing the media to flow back upstream.
