The Safe Choice
LKC-2 Non-return Valve
LKC-2, non-return valve.

Application

Non-return valve LKC-2 is designed for use in stainless steel pipe installations to prevent reverse flow.

Working principle

LKC-2 opens when the pressure below the valve plug exceeds the pressure above the plug and the spring force.
The valve closes when pressure equalization has been achieved. A higher counter pressure will press the valve plug against the seat.

Standard Design

The valve body is in two parts, assembled by means of a clamp ring and hygienically sealed with a special seal ring. A guide disc and four legs guide the spring loaded valve plug with an O-ring seal. LKC-2 has welding ends for ISO or DIN connections.

Materials

Steel parts: Stainless steel 1.4301 (304) or acid-resistant steel 1.4404 (316L).
Seal rings: EPDM rubber.
Finish: Semi bright.

Connections

The valve is available with welding ends for tubes according to ISO and DIN 11850.

Technical data

Required differential pressure for opening the valve when fitted in a vertical pipe, as shown in fig. 3, is approx. 6 kPa (0.06 bar).

Max. product pressure: 1000 kPa (10 bar).
Max. temperature: 140°C (EPDM).
Min. temperature: -10°C.

Option

  • - Product wetted seal rings of Nitrile (NBR) or Fluorinated rubber (FPM).

Ordering

Please state the following when ordering:

  • - Size.
  • - Steel grade, 1.4301 (304) or 1.4404 (316L).
  • - Connections, if not welding ends.
  • - Rubber grade if not EPDM.
