Spirax Sarco DCV10 / DCV10C Centrally Guided Disc Check Valves

Spirax Sarco DCV10 and DCV10C are wafer pattern centrally guided disc check valves. Suitable for steam, water, and process fluids, they provide improved lifespan and high reliability up to 400 °C.

Spirax Sarco DCV10 / DCV10C Centrally Guided Disc Check Valves

Spirax Sarco DCV10 (cast stainless steel) and DCV10C (zinc plated cast carbon steel) are wafer pattern centrally guided disc check valves designed to be sandwiched between flanges for use with pumps and general cycling applications. They are suitable for use on a wide range of fluids in process lines, hot water systems, steam, and condensate systems. The centrally guided design ensures an improved lifespan and greater reliability compared to traditional disc check valves. These valves ensure the correct flow of condensate and other suitable fluids while preventing reverse flow.

Principle of Operation

The DCV10 and DCV10C are opened by the pressure and flow of condensate and are closed by the pressure of the spring when the flow ceases and before reverse flow occurs.

The curves given in the chart are valid for water at 20 °C. To determine the pressure for other fluids, the equivalent water volume flowrate must be calculated and used in the graph.

Installation

Installation Note

The DCV10 and DCV10C can be fitted in either a horizontal or vertical line in accordance with the direction of flow arrow on the body. The DCV10 must be installed close coupled to the pump. Flanges, bolts (or studs), nuts, and gaskets are to be supplied by the installer.

Spare Parts

The DCV10 and DCV10C are non-maintainable disc check valves. There are no available spares.
